ganglia close to the effectors.

Explanation:

Sympathetic preganglionic neurons have their cell bodies and dendrites in the gray matter of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments (T1 - L2) of the spinal cord. The brain stem and sacral spinal cord (S2 - S4) are for parasympathetic preganglionic neurons. Sympathetic ganglia house postganglionic cell bodies. Ganglia close to effectors are also related to postganglionic neurons in some autonomic pathways.

Answer:

gray matter of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord.
