A) adrenal medulla.
B) celiac ganglia.
C) sympathetic chain ganglia.
D) inferior mesenteric ganglia.
E) splanchnic nerves.

Accepted Answer

Preganglionic fibers that innervate the collateral ganglia form the splanchnic nerves. The celiac ganglia and inferior mesenteric ganglia are examples of collateral ganglia that are innervated by splanchnic nerves. The adrenal medulla is not a ganglion and is not innervated by preganglionic fibers. The sympathetic chain ganglia are not collateral ganglia but are part of the paravertebral ganglia.
