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:
These include:-

- Hypogastric plexus
- Postganglionic autonomic fibers
- Preganglionic autonomic fibers
