A 17-year-old boy was involved in a gang fight, and a stab wound severed the white rami communicantes at the level of his sixth thoracic vertebra. This injury would result in degeneration of nerve cell bodies in which of the following structures?
(A) Dorsal root ganglion and anterior horn of the spinal cord
(B) Sympathetic chain ganglion and dorsal root ganglion
© Sympathetic chain ganglion and posterior horn of the spinal cord

D
The white rami communicantes contain preganglionic sympathetic general visceral efferent (GVE) fibers and general visceral afferent (GVA) fibers whose cell bodies are located in the lateral horn of the spinal cord and the dorsal root ganglia. The sympathetic chain ganglion contains cell bodies of the postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers. The anterior horn of the spinal cord contains cell bodies of the GSE fibers. The dorsal root ganglion contains cell bodies of GSA and GVA fibers.
