Definition
English
:
The thoracolumbar division of the
autonomic nervous system
. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in
neurons
of the intermediolateral column of the
spinal cord
and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral
ganglia
, which in turn project to
target organs
. The
sympathetic nervous system
mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
