Source sentences:
text: Preganglionic neurons refer to the neurons of the autonomic nervous system whose cell bodies lay in the central nervous system and axons terminate in a peripheral ganglion, synapsing with postganglionic neurons, while postganglionic neurons refer to the neurons of the autonomic nervous system whose cell bodies lay in an autonomic ganglion and whose axons terminate in a visceral effector (smooth or cardiac muscle or glands).
text: Once within the sympathetic trunk, the preganglionic neuron may synapse with a postganglionic neuron in the ganglion at the level of entry or in another ganglion up or down the sympathetic trunk, or it may pass through without synapsing and proceed via a splanchnic nerve to a collateral (prevertebral) ganglion.
text: These preganglionic neurons then enter the SCG and synapse with the postganglionic neurons that leave the rostral end of the SCG and innervate target organs of the head.
