Which statement regarding the sympathetic nervous system is incorrect? * The sympathetic trunk extends from the base of the skull to the coccyx. Efferent fibres run in the anterior nerve roots. Preganglionic fibres run in the grey rami communicantes. Every sympathetic trunk ganglion gives a visceral branch. There is no sympathetic outflow from the cranial region.

Check all that are true statements regarding the anatomy and structure of the sympathetic division. Check all that apply: the neuron cell bodies are located in the lateral horns of their spinal cord segments. The preganglionic sympathetic axons remain in the spinal cord for a short distance before leaving. The sympathetic trunk ganglia house sympathetic ganglionic neuron cell bodies. The splanchnic nerves are composed of preganglionic sympathetic axons that did not synapse in a sympathetic trunk ganglion.
