Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The unusual thing about splanchnic nerve innervations to the adrenal gland. The substance secreted by the adrenal gland and its effect.

Introduction:

The sympathetic axons travel through the sympathetic chain ganglia to their target cell. The preganglionic axons of sympathetic division travel to the sympathetic chain ganglia passing through white ramus communicans and exit from the same and different levels and form splanchnic axons. These preganglionic axons are extending to collateral ganglia which are a part of postganglionic neurons.
