This page covers biological details of component Superior Cervical Ganglion. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• *Top-down path to region*: Peripheral Nervous System -> Sympathetic Ganglia (PN.SYM) -> Paravertebral Ganglia (VBA.PN.SYM.PA) -> Superior Cervical Ganglion (LAC.PN.SYM.SCG) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: sympathetic ganglion
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• *Role*: sympathetic
• *Function*: Eye, tear and salivatory glands
