Ganglion Vertebrate

Despite the fact that ganglia are one of the most common tumors in the abdominal cavity, the formation of a vertebral ganglion is a rather rare pathology. By reading this article, we will try to understand this phenomenon in more detail and analyze its features.

A ganglion is a tumor node that appears as a result of a disorder in the development of tissues of the nervous system. When a vertebral ganglion is formed as a result of a neurological disorder, it is formed immediately in the periphery, and not in some part of the brain. Such ganglia play an important role in the correct functioning of the central nervous system, controlling its transmission. The vertebral ganglia are formed at the level of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh vertebrae, where they have the most significant impact. They are usually diagnosed as ossified ganglia, although they can be condensed or diffusely growing.

The detection of a ganglion tumor in the spine is characterized by the presence of a number of clinical symptoms. In most cases, it manifests itself as a feeling of weakness, stiffness of the lower extremities and periodic pain in the lumbar region. This tumor is also often associated with anxiety disorders and neck pain. Bo



The vertebral ganglion (lat. ganglion vertebrale) is an outgrowth of the neck, which is attached to the lower vertebrae with the help of ligaments or tendons. The vertebral ganglia play an important role in muscle movement. They control the motor activity of muscles that work in response to tensile and compressive forces.

The ganglion contains many nerve endings and fibers that ensure the transmission of nerve impulses from nerve cells to muscles. These nerve fibers are connected to motor and sensory cells located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. When the ganglion stimulates the muscles, they contract, resulting in body movement and joint control.

The vertebral ganglia also play an important role during traumatic spinal injury.
