What are the connections between the spinal nerves and the sympathetic trunks?

What structures carry preganglionic sympathetic axons from the T₁-L₂ spinal nerves to the sympathetic trunk?

What structures carry postganglionic axons from the sympathetic trunk to the spinal nerves?

What structures are composed of preganglionic axons that do not synapse in a sympathetic trunk ganglion?

Splanchnic nerves of the sympathetic division of the ANS terminate in what structures?

What structures are singular rahter than paired, are anterior to the vertebral column, and are located only in the abdominal cavity?

List the three prevertebral ganglia.

What pathway is a postganglionic axon within if it travesl theough a gray ramus that is at the same level as the ganglionic neuron to innervate blood vessels or arrector pili muscles or sweat glands?

What pathway is a postganglionic axon within if the preganglionic neuron synapses with a ganglionic neuron in a sympathetic trunk ganglion, but the postganglionic axon does not leave the...

What pathway is postganglionic axon within if it passes through the sympathetic trunk ganglia without synapsing and extends to the prevertebral ganglia?

What pathway is a sympathetic axon within if it goes to the adrenal medulla?
