the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system arise from which regions of the spinal cord?
lumbar
sacral
thoracic
cervical
The sympathetic nervous system has its pre - ganglionic neurons originating from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. This is a well - known anatomical fact in the study of the nervous system. The sacral region is associated with the parasympathetic nervous system (part of the craniosacral outflow of the parasympathetic), and the cervical region is not the origin of the sympathetic nervous system's spinal cord components.
