Please help label the following

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a diagram of the autonomic nervous system, detailing the pathways and ganglia involved. The components are labeled with numbers and corresponding descriptions:
1. **Visceral Afferent Neuron (in green)**: This neuron transmits sensory information from the visceral organs to the central nervous system. The path is shown in the diagram entering the spinal cord.
2. **Spinal Ganglion**: A cluster of nerve cell bodies located in the dorsal root. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information.
3. **Preganglionic Efferent Neuron (in red)**: These neurons originate in the spinal cord and extend to the autonomic ganglia.
4. **Postganglionic Efferent Neuron (in green)**: These neurons extend from the ganglia to the target organ, transmitting motor commands.
5. **Vertebral Autonomic Ganglion**: Part of the sympathetic division, it is involved in the relay of nerve impulses between the spinal cord and peripheral organs.
6. **Collateral Ganglion**: These are ganglia associated with the sympathetic nervous system located away from the vertebral column.
Lines are used in the diagram to differentiate between these different neurons and ganglia:
- Solid green lines indicate visceral afferent neurons.
- Dotted red lines show pathways of preganglionic efferent neurons.
- Dashed green lines depict postganglionic efferent neurons.
The diagram serves as a visual guide to understanding the pathways of the autonomic nervous system, illustrating the connections between different nerve components and organs.
