Sympathetic Nervous System | Overview of Specific Pathways

The video provides an overview of the sympathetic nervous system, detailing its role in the fight or flight response. It explains the two-neuron pathway structure, with preganglionic neurons originating in the thoracolumbar region and postganglionic neurons located in various ganglia. The video covers four major pathways: to the head, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, describing the specific ganglia and organs involved in each pathway. The video also mentions a separate component for skin innervation, covered in another video.
