Path
It is probably formed by the coalescence of two ganglia which correspond to the seventh and eighth cervical nerves.
It is connected to the middle cervical ganglion by two or more cords, one of which forms a loop around the subclavian artery and supplies offsets to it. This loop is named the ansa subclavia (Vieussenii).
The ganglion sends gray rami communicantes to the seventh and eighth cervical nerves.

Famous quotes containing the word path:
“The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“So-called “austerity,” the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. “Pull in your belt” is a slogan closely related to “gird up your loins,” or the guns-butter metaphor.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
Check’ring the eastern clouds with streaks of light,
And fleckled darkness like a drunkard reels
From forth day’s path and Titan’s fiery wheels.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
