Question

question
all of the following statements are true of the sympathetic chain ganglia,
except:
answer
the white ramus of a spinal nerve carries myelinated
preganglionic fibers to a sympathetic chain ganglion.
sympathetic chain ganglia are also called prevertebral
ganglia.
they lie lateral to the vertebral column on both sides.
postganglionic fibers control effector organs in the body
wall, head and neck, limbs, and inside the thoracic cavity.
i dont know yet

Explanation:

• The white ramus of a spinal nerve indeed carries myelinated preganglionic fibers to a sympathetic chain ganglion.
• Sympathetic chain ganglia lie lateral to the vertebral column on both sides.
• Postganglionic fibers from sympathetic chain ganglia do control effector organs in the body wall, head and neck, limbs, and inside the thoracic cavity.
• However, sympathetic chain ganglia are not called prevertebral ganglia. Prevertebral ganglia are a different set of ganglia (e.g., celiac ganglia, superior mesenteric ganglia, inferior mesenteric ganglia) that are located anterior to the vertebral column and near the large abdominal arteries.

Answer:

Sympathetic chain ganglia are also called prevertebral ganglia.
