Where are the cell bodies of the sympathetic preganglionic neurons located?

The cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurons are located in intermediolateral nuclei of the spinal cord. (A nucleus is a profile of a neuron column.) Each intermediolateral column forms a lateral gray horn in a thoracolumbar spinal cord transection.

Where can you find the cell bodies and dendrites of the preganglionic fibers?

The cell bodies of the preganglionic neurons are in the brainstem or spinal cord of the central nervous system (CNS). The cell bodies of the postganglionic neurons are in autonomic ganglia located peripherally. Axon terminal of preganglionic neurons synapse on dendrites and cell bodies of postganglionic neurons.

Where are the cell bodies of the sympathetic preganglionic and postganglionic neurons found?

The cell bodies of symapathetic preganglionic neurons are located in the visceral efferent (lateral gray) column of the spinal cord. The cell bodies of parasymapathetic preganglionic neurons are located in the homologous motor nuclei of the cranial nerves.
