The sympathetic division is also referred to as the thoracolumbar

division. It is referred to as either, but receives the term

thoracolumbar due to its exit location. The sympathetic division

preganglionic neurons exit the spinal column between the first

thoracic and second lumbar segments of the vertebrate column.

This varies from the majority of sympathetic neurons.
