Course of typical spinal nerve
|
1. at the intervertebral foramen, the dorsal root and ventral root of the spinal cord converge to form the spinal nerve
2. the dorsal branch of the spinal nerve immediately branches 3. the ramus communicans branches from the ventral branch 4. ramus joins the sympathetic trunk, the sympatheic ganglion are located at this junction |

|
spinal nerve
|
located at the intervertebral foramen, formed from the junction of the ventral and doral roots
|
|
|
ramus communicans
|
branches immediately off the ventral branch of the spinal nerve, each preganglionic sympathetic axon passes through this to reach the sympathetic trunk
|
|
|
sympathetic trunk
|
where the rami communicans connect, runs in a craniocaudal direction lateral to the vertebral column along the entire length of the vertebral column
|
|
|
sympathetic trunk ganglia
|
located at the junction of rami and the sympathetic trunk
contains the cell bodies of postganglionic sympathetic axons |
|
|
intercostal nerves
|
ventral branches of the first 12 thoracic nerves
|
