Paravertebral ganglia ( GPAS ; Langley, 1900 ) : A topographic division of autonomic ganglia (Langley, 1900) associated with the sympathetic trunk (Winslow, 1733) and branches arising directly from it, including the carotid ganglion (Lobstein, 1831), sympathetic trunk ganglia (Winslow, 1733), and intermediate ganglia. Falloppio (1561; see Johnstone, 1765, p. 177) is credited with discovering them in macrodissected adult humans, for contemporary terminology see Durward (1951, p. 1126).
