Transcript 
Gross anatomy of stellate ganglion with the thoracic sympathetic chain in lateral view. At the top a small wire comes straight out of the vertebral artery; the
uppermost loop surrounds the cervical sympathetic chain; the lower loop surrounds the stellate ganglion; the vertical wire overlies the thoracic sympathetic
chain; the transverse wires overlie intercostal nerves. Visualize the convergence of the lower cervical and uppermost thoracic ganglia forming the stellate
ganglion within the lower loop. Note the stellate in this case is located at T1 and how posterior the thoracic sympathetic chain lies in relation to the thoracic
vertebrae. (Dissection used with permission of Frank H. Willard, Ph.D.)
