The answer to Question 4 is: both the brain and the lateral gray horns of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

  • The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
  • Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system emerge from the lateral gray horns of the spinal cord, specifically from the thoracolumbar region (T1 to L2).
  • Preganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system emerge from the brain (cranial nerves III, VII, IX, and X) and the sacral region of the spinal cord (S2 to S4).
  • Therefore, preganglionic neurons of the ANS emerge from both the brain and the lateral gray horns of the spinal cord.

For Question 5, the question is incomplete, so I cannot provide an accurate answer.
