 | A fact from Autonomic ganglion appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 April 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

This article previously made confusing mention of the adrenal glands as terminal ganglia. If we're being quite technical, I believe they are terminal ganglia, but the hierarchy of sections of this article implied that they are in fact parasympathetic ganglia, which is absolutely not the case. (They are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system.) To avoid unnecessary confusion, I removed this example entirely. --Diberri | Talk 23:24, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
Rewrite needed
editThis needs a drastic rewrite by someone with more knowledge than I had when I originally wrote this thing. At a minimum, this article should discuss:
- three general ganglia types
- prevertebral ganglia
- paravertebral ganglia
- terminal ganglia
- para vs. symp ganglia
- which ones are typically para and which are typically symp
- differences in outflow (e.g. para is craniosacral, while symp is thoracolumbar)
- preganglionic and postganglionic fibers
- myelination
- relative length
- branching
- neurotransmitters
I'll get to this in the coming weeks if no one else does. --David Iberri (talk) 03:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
