The autonomic nervous system is classified into sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.

Sympathetic nervous system comprehends the nerves which come out from the ganglia of the neural chains lateral to the spinal column (close to the spinal cord) and therefore are distant from the tissues they innervate. The central and peripheral neurons related to those neurons are as well part of the sympathetic.
The parasympathetic nervous system is made up of nerves and central or peripheral neurons associated to the visceral ganglia, neural ganglia located close to the tissues they innervate.
