The thoracic region receive sympathetic innervation from the middle and inferior cervical ganglia.
The cervical sympathetic trunk is the portion of the sympathetic trunk located to the left and right of the cervical spine, this trunk extends from the entrance of the thoracic wall to the base of the skull.
It is made up of 3 ganglia: the superior ganglia made up of the first 3 cervical ganglia; the middle ganglia made up of the 4th cervical ganglion and the inferior ganglia made up of the last 4 ganglia.
These ganglia are responsible for the sympathetic innervation of the upper extremities, the viscera of the thoracic cavity and that of the organs of the abdominal cavity.
Therefore, we can conclude that the thoracic sympathetic chain is made up of ganglia that innervate the thoracic region.
Trees and birds have a commensalism relationship. The birds benefit from having a place to build their nests, while the trees are unharmed and not impacted by the bird’s presence.
