Ganglion Sympathetic

The sympathetic ganglion is one of the large nodes of the autonomic nervous system. It has many functions that help regulate the functioning of the body. In this article we will look at its description, functions, structure and possible diseases associated with it.

The sympathetic ganglion is located in the chest cavity. This is one of the nodes

The sympathetic ganglion is a nerve ganglion that is located in the thoracic spine. It is involved in the regulation of the heart and blood vessels, and also regulates metabolism in the body.

The sympathetic ganglion is divided into two sections: central and peripheral. The central ganglion is located in the medulla oblongata, and the peripheral ganglion is located in the chest cavity and abdominal cavity.

The central ganglion functions as a transmitter of signals from the brain to the peripheral nodes. The peripheral ganglion is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from organs and tissues to the central ganglion.

One of the functions of the sympathetic ganglion is the regulation of blood pressure. When a person experiences stress or tension, the sympathetic ganglion is activated, which leads to an increase in heart rate and dilation of blood vessels. This increases blood flow to the heart and organs, but reduces capillary pressure.

The sympathetic ganglion is also involved in the regulation of metabolism. It controls the production of hormones and other substances that regulate the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the body. Excess of these substances can lead to various diseases such as obesity or diabetes.
