Autonomic ganglia are clusters of neuronal cell bodies and their dendrites and are essentially a junction between autonomic nerves originating from the central nervous system and autonomic nerves innervating their target organs in the periphery.

The two main categories are:

• Sympathetic ganglia
• Parasympathetic ganglia

These include

• Celiac plexus
• Hypogastric plexus
• Postganglionic autonomic fibers
• Preganglionic autonomic fibers
• Stellate ganglion
• Submucous plexus
