The sympathetic division of the ANS has relatively short preganglionic fibers. This is a key anatomical difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. In the sympathetic nervous system, the preganglionic neurons originate in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. Their axons (preganglionic fibers) are short as they synapse with postganglionic neurons in ganglia that are close to the spinal cord (sympathetic chain ganglia or collateral ganglia). In contrast, the parasympathetic division has long preganglionic fibers as its ganglia are located near or within the target organs.
