Ganglion

Imagine trying to manage a busy intersection where multiple roads meet, and cars need to move smoothly in different directions. A ganglion is similar in that it acts like a traffic control center, managing the flow of nerve signals at a junction where different nerve pathways intersect. Just as the traffic lights and signs at an intersection ensure that cars move efficiently without collisions, a ganglion helps coordinate and direct nerve signals so that information is processed and transmitted accurately throughout the nervous system.
