Cervical ganglia

Template:Infobox Nerve Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The cervical ganglia consist of three paravertebral ganglia:

• superior cervical ganglion
• middle cervical ganglion
• inferior cervical ganglion. The inferior ganglion may be fused with the first thoracic ganglion to form a single structure, the stellate ganglion.

Nerves emerging from cervical sympathetic ganglia contribute to the cardiac plexus, among other things.
