Ganglion stellate

Stellate ganglion (lat. ganglium stellatum), or neuroganglion from the cervical chain of embryos [1]. This is a well-developed pharyngeal ring of vesicles that are contained in the catfish canal of frog or salamander embryos. Although stellate ganglia are found in many spinal vertebrates, their development is just beginning to emerge in reptiles. The stellate body also forms a fairly strong neuromuscular structure of the spinal column. A characteristic product of glial cells of astrocytes. This is a multilobulated thecoid ganglion originating from the inferolateral loop of the medulla oblongata (medulla oblongata) of the frog embryo. It is located in the middle of the posterior border of the medulla oblongata and spinal cord, has long branching dendrites and a short terminal branch. The number of stem cells of the stellate bodies reaches several million by the end of embryonic development, which indicates their important role in the formation of the brain and spinal nerves.

The connections of the stellate body are quite complex. It receives afferent nerve impulses from the medulla, which innervates the face, skin of the neck and back of the head from the medulla oblongata. The lateral trunk, immediately anterior to the medulla oblongata, passes from the medulla oblongata to the body of the ganglion through the dorsal groove of the medulla oblongata, where it passes by the outer cell layer of the ganglion but is not usually adjacent to its surface. The ganglion has various synaptic connections with many other areas of the brainstem, as well as with the oral, eye
