----

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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Peripheral Nervous System -> Sensory Ganglia (PNS.SG) -> [BrainCenterPN_SG_SE Sensory Exteroception Ganglia] (PN.SG.SE) -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_TRG Trigeminal Ganglion] (LPC.PN.SG.TRG) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: sensory ganglion
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
  * *Area circuit*: Sensory Face (SF)
  * *Role*: sensory.ganglion
  * *Function*: Integration of external auditory meatus (auricular branch), cranial meninges (meningeal branch), and external surface of tympanic membrane
  * *Comments*: Gasserian, semilunar
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * sensory fibers of ophthalmic, maxillary, mandibular nerves to principal trigeminal nucleus
