Detailed explanation-1: -A ganglion (pl. ganglia) is a mass of nerve cell bodies found outside of the central nervous system (CNS) along with some glial cells and connective tissue. Ganglia have both afferent and efferent nerve fibers. As they exist outside of the CNS, they are sometimes referred to as peripheral ganglia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to the peripheral nervous system, which is what nerve tissue outside of the central nervous system is called. It is made up of two main parts: the autonomic and the somatic nervous systems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies present outside the CNS. The nerve cell bodies are clustered together in these structures and their axons reach different parts of the organ.
