Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The preganglionic axons synapse with the postganglionic neurons in spinal and sympathetic nerves.

Introduction:

The autonomic nervous system has two important divisions’ sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. They are present on the preganglionic neuron of the CNS and autonomic ganglia of the PNS. The sympathetic axons travel through the sympathetic chain ganglia to their target cell. A ganglion is nerve cell bodies which are connected in a series and form plexus. The sympathetic division has postganglionic neurons on several locations of ganglia.
