Describe four paths a preganglionic sympathetic fiber may take to reach its synapse point with the ganglionic neuron.
What will be an ideal response?

The fourth path is a single event in which one branch of the greater splanchnic nerve innervates the adrenal medulla, stimulating it to release the hormone norepinephrine.
