The anterior ramus of each spinal nerve sends out communicating rami that connect to

A) the brain.
B) the meninges.
C) a sympathetic trunk ganglion.
D) the vertebrae.
E) the skin and muscles of the back.

Anterior Ramus

is a branch of a spinal nerve that passes anteriorly (towards the front) to supply muscles and skin on the front of the body.

Communicating Rami

Nerves that connect the spinal nerves to the sympathetic trunk, facilitating communication between the central and autonomic nervous systems.

Sympathetic Trunk Ganglion

A nerve cell cluster in the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, transmitting impulses to various body organs.
