Explain the three places where a preganglionic sympathetic neuron may synapse with a postganglionic sympathetic neuron

What will be an ideal response?


A preganglionic sympathetic neuron may synapse with a postganglionic neuron in one of three ways:
1 ) The axon synapses with a postganglionic neuron in the sympathetic chain ganglion.
2 ) The axon descends or ascends and synapses with a postganglionic neuron in a different chain ganglion.
3 ) The axon passes through the chain ganglion and synapses with a postganglionic neuron in a collateral ganglion.
