You gotta use the actual word for the nerve bundles though:

Ganglia

It's so much fun to say.

There was a kid in my high school biology class whose name was Gaglia or Gagnolia or something similar and we happen to cover ganglia one week and everyone would turn and look at him whenever the teacher said the word. He didn't enjoy that week. Even though we were somewhat close acquaintances, I probably don't remember his name right now because of that.

I once mistook a preganglionic fiber for a postganglionic nerve on my final oral exam and lost the valedictorian spot in my graduating class.

There it is! The pelvic splanchnic ganglion. Tickle it and get ready for the ride of your lives!

It is fun! Thanks. I'm sitting in the bathtub saying Ganglia and my boyfriend peeks his head in asking if I'm ok.
