| Front | Preganglionic sympathetic pathway |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Cell bodies located in lateral horn of T1-L2 2. Axons exit spinal cord in ventral root (T1-L2), go into spinal nerve and into ventral ramus. 3. Axons through white ramus (T1-L2) to sympathetic trunk ganglia. Sympathetic pre- and post-ganglionic axons can follow five different pathways in order to distribute innervation to all regions of the body. |
