Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic trunk ganglia run vertically along both sides of the backbone and are part of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. The other choices are not correct because terminal ganglia are located close to the effector organs, parasympathetic ganglia are not found along the backbone, prevertebral ganglia are located anterior to the vertebral column, and superior mesenteric ganglia are located in the abdomen.
