Ganglion
In anatomy, a ganglion (pl. ganglia) is a tissue mass, which is composed mainly of somata and dendritic structures, which often interconnect with each other to form a complex system of ganglia known as a plexus. These structures provide relay points and intermediary connections between different neurological structures in the body, such as the peripheral and central nervous systems.
