In neuroanatomy, the cranial nerve ganglia are either parasympathetic or sensory ganglia of the cranial nerves.[1]
Parasympathetic
The four cranial autonomic ganglia are:
However, the autonomic ganglia of the vagus nerve (X) lie outside of the head, frequently within the organ which they innervate. In the case of the gut, for example, the autonomic neurons do not form distinct ganglia, but rather the preganglionic neurons synapse within the enteric nervous system.
