prevertebral ganglia
pre·ver·te·bral gan·gli·athe sympathetic ganglia (celiac, aorticorenal, and superior and inferior mesenteric) lying anterior to the vertebral column, as distinguished from the paravertebral ganglia of the sympathetic trunk; these prevertebral ganglia occur mostly around the origin of the major branches of the abdominal aorta; all are in the abdominopelvic cavity; the neurons that make up the ganglia send postsynaptic sympathetic fibers to abdominopelvic viscera through periarterial plexuses.pre·ver·te·bral gan·gli·a (prē-vĕr'tĕ-brăl gang'glē-ă) The sympathetic ganglia (celiac, aorticorenal, superior and inferior mesenteric) lying in front of the vertebral column, as distinguished from the ganglia of the sympathetic trunk (paravertebral ganglia); these ganglia occur mostly around the origins of the major branches of the abdominal aorta; all are in the abdominopelvic cavity, concerned with innervation of abdominopelvic viscera. |
