Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures called splanchnic nerves. White rami communicantes are structures that carry preganglionic fibers into the sympathetic chain, while gray rami communicantes are structures that carry postganglionic fibers out of the sympathetic chain to reach their target organs. Spinal nerves are mixed nerves that contain both sensory and motor fibers.
