The splanchnic nerve pathway is characterized by preganglionic fibers (T5-L2) exiting the sympathetic trunk as splanchnic nerves before synapsing in collateral ganglia, with postganglionic axons then innervating abdominal and pelvic organs.
1. preganglionic fibers from T5-L2 exit the sympathetic trunk as planchnic nerves before synapsing in collateral (prevertebral) ganglia<div>2. Postganglionic axons then travel to innervate organs of the abdomen and pelvis</div>
