Ganglion Spinal

The spinal ganglion (G. spinale; lat. ganglion - node, ganglion spinale - spinal node; synonym: g. intervertebral) is a collection of nerve cells located in the spinal canal and innervating the muscles and skin of the back. It is one of the largest and most complex ganglia in the human body.

The spinal ganglion consists of many cellular elements that form compact clusters. These cells have long processes that innervate muscles and skin, and also transmit signals from the spinal cord to the brain.

The spinal ganglia are an important element of the nervous system; they regulate the functioning of the muscles and skin of the back, and are also involved in the formation of pain. In addition, the spinal ganglia may be involved in the development of various diseases, such as neurological disorders, metabolic disorders, etc.

Despite their importance, the spinal ganglia have not yet received sufficient attention from scientists and doctors. Currently, research is being conducted aimed at studying the mechanisms of functioning of the spinal ganglia and developing methods for their treatment for various diseases.

The spinal ganglion is a collection of nerve cells and their processes located in the cavity of the spinal canal along the spinal cord. It is part of the dorsal root of the spinal nerve. G. s. is an obligatory component of the nerve root of any segment of the spinal cord or brain. It connects to neighboring cells through interneuronal junctions. Unlike other clusters of nerve processes, the Ganglia spinal ganglia perform the most important functions in the body. The main task is to carry out information connecting the cerebral cortex, thalamus and other structures with individual segments of the spinal cord. They are closely related to the body’s reflex processes and regulate them. Located in the recess of the body of the upper part of the spine, these cells can be subject to injury. This leads to pain, inflammation, impaired coordination of movements, and limited mobility of the spine and limbs.
