Autonomic Nervous System: Sympathetic Nervous System Balance

1. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> lungs bilateral anterior and posterior aspects
2. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> limbic system
3. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> sympathetic ganglia: cervico/thoracic junction (the chain)
4. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> sympathetic ganglia: right and left, thoracic spine at costovertebral joints
5. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> parasympathetic ganglia: right and left sacrum
6. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> pineal gland
7. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> pressure sensor of anterior inferior heart
8. Brainstem (aqueduct of silvius) -> hypothalamus
