Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The white rami communicantes are responsible for carrying preganglionic axons from the spinal nerves to the sympathetic chain. They are found in all thoracic and upper lumbar spinal cord segments. They are myelinated, unlike the gray rami communicantes, which are unmyelinated and carry postganglionic fibers from the sympathetic chain to the periphery.
