Abstract:
By the use of dissection and of light and electron microscopy, the normal structure of the pterygopalatine ganglion was studied in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys. A set of cytological features, namely, small cell size, close packing, peripheral distribution of Nissl bodies, eccentricity of the nucleus and rounded cell shape, was identified which may be unique to monkey pterygopalatine cells.

01:20Sympathetic Pathways: Sympathetic Chain Ganglia
The sympathetic chain ganglia, also known as the sympathetic trunk ganglia or paravertebral ganglia, are a series of ganglia located bilaterally on either side of the spinal column. These ganglia serve as relay stations for the sympathetic nervous system. Preganglionic neurons originating in the spinal cord project their axons to the sympathetic chain ganglia. Within the ganglia, these preganglionic fibers synapse with postganglionic neurons.The postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic trunk...
01:18Cranial Part of Parasympathetic Division
The cranial part of the parasympathetic division plays a crucial role in regulating the visceral functions of the head and specific structures in the neck, thoracic, and abdominopelvic cavities. Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division exit the brain through cranial nerves III (oculomotor), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), and X (vagus), delivering parasympathetic output to the respective visceral structures.
