ciliary ganglion

In classical anatomy, the ciliary ganglion is said to have three "roots:"

They exit as one or two short "motor roots" that synapse in the ciliary ganglion.

From the last a short thick branch is given off to the lower part of the ciliary ganglion, and forms its short root.

The branches of the ciliary ganglion are the short ciliary nerves.

Diseases of the ciliary ganglion produce a tonic pupil.

It is expressed highly in the ciliary ganglion, ovary, and uterus corpus.

This occurs because sympathetic activity from the ciliary ganglion is lost thus parasympathetics are not inhibited.

Herpes zoster virus can attack the ciliary ganglion.

However, the ciliary ganglion is not simply a relay station connecting preganglionic to postganglionic nerve fibers.

The ciliary ganglion is a parasympathetic ganglion located in the posterior orbit.

Tonic pupils are usually due to Adie syndrome, but other diseases can denervate the ciliary ganglion.

Parasympathetic neurons from the oculomotor nerve synapse on ciliary ganglion neurons.

Short ciliary nerves leave the ciliary ganglion to innervate the constrictor muscle of the iris.

Anything that denervates the ciliary ganglion will produce a tonic pupil due to aberrant nerve regeneration.

Postsynaptic parasympathetic fibers leave the ciliary ganglion in multiple (six to ten) short ciliary nerves.

(The others are the submandibular ganglion, pterygopalatine ganglion, and ciliary ganglion).

The ciliary muscle receives both parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers from the ciliary ganglion called short ciliary nerves.

However, work by John Newport Langley had suggested that in the autonomic nervous system communication in the ciliary ganglion was chemical.

Three types of nerve fibers run through the ciliary ganglion: parasympathetic fibers, sympathetic fibers and sensory fibers.

She noted that pathological destruction of nerve cells in the ciliary ganglion that is found in all cases of Adie pupil.

The ciliary nerves, ciliary ganglion, oculomotor nerve and abducens nerve are anesthetized in retrobulbar block.

In Adie syndrome, damage involving the ciliary ganglion manifests light-near dissociation and a tonically dilated pupil (usually unilateral).

One possible cause of Harlequin syndrome is a lesion to the preganglionic or postganglionic cervical sympathetic fibers and parasympathetic neurons of the ciliary ganglion.

They leave the ciliary ganglion in the sensory root of ciliary ganglion, which joins the nasociliary nerve.

It is one of four parasympathetic ganglia of the head and neck, the others being the submandibular ganglion, otic ganglion, and ciliary ganglion.
