sympathetic trunk
sympathetic chain

These lines of ganglia are sometimes called the sympathetic trunks.

It may also involve the cervical ganglia of the sympathetic trunk.

As the sympathetic trunk heads inferiorly down the sacrum, it turns medially.

When used without further definition, it almost always refers to a communicating branch between a spinal nerve and the sympathetic trunk.

Near the coccyx, the right and left sympathetic trunks join to form the ganglion impar.

The sympathetic trunk travels in a downward direction from the skull, just lateral to the vertebral bodies.

Other fibers from lateral horn neurons pass through the sympathetic trunk without synapsing there.

The lumbar portion of the sympathetic trunk typically has 4 lumbar ganglia.

Also, the ganglia of the thoracic sympathetic trunk have both white and gray rami communicantes.

Along the length of the sympathetic trunk are ganglia known as paravertebral ganglia.

There is anastomosis with accessory nerve, hypoglossal nerve and sympathetic trunk.

The sympathetic trunk is a fundamental part of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.

The white rami carry sympathetic fibers arising in the spinal cord into the sympathetic trunk.

The sympathetic trunk forms a plexus of nerves around the artery known as the carotid plexus.

The cervical part of the sympathetic trunk is embedded in prevertebral fascia immediately posterior to the sheath.

They are joined, near their origins, by gray rami communicantes from the lumbar ganglia of the sympathetic trunk.

The rami communicans are connective spinal nerves that attach to the ganglion of the sympathetic trunk.

Each spinal nerve receives a branch, gray ramus communicans, from the adjacent ganglion of the sympathetic trunk.

They are in the same region as the sacral splanchnic nerves, which arise from the sympathetic trunk and provide sympathetic efferent fibers.

Behind it are the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra, the sympathetic trunk and its inferior cervical ganglion.

A. sympathetic postganglionic fibers- The cell bodies of these fibers are located in the sympathetic trunk ganglia.

Sympathetic trunk (truncus Sympaticus)

It comes from the Superior Sympathetic Cervical Ganglion off of the Sympathetic trunk.

The fibers of the sympathetic trunk above and below T1-L2 originate from white rami communicantes within T1-L2.

The pelvic portion of each sympathetic trunk is situated in front of the sacrum, medial to the anterior sacral foramina.
