In this outflowthey are mixed with other autonomic fibers, such as the sweatfibers, pilomotor fibers, accelerator fibers to heart, pupilodilatorfibers, visceromotor fibers, etc. Emerging in the anterior roots, theypass to the sympathetic chain by way of the corresponding ramuscommunicans. Having reached the chain, they end in one or otherof the ganglia, not nece
