The gray ramus communicans is a bundle of postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers that are distributed to effectors (glands and smooth muscles) in the body wall and limbs by way of a spinal nerve. The white ramus communicans contains both motor and sensory fibers. It contains the myelinated preganglionic axons of sympathetic motor neurons en route to sympathetic ganglia and abdominopelvic viscera and sensory fibers carrying sensory information from the visceral organs.
