The rami communications
No, the ventral ramus contains both motor and sensory fibers. It is a branch of the spinal nerve that provides innervation to various muscles, skin, and structures in the body.
The preganglionic fibers of the autonomic nervous system travel through the cranial nerves (in the head) and the spinal nerves (in the rest of the body). They synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia before reaching their target organs.
Spinal nerves are called mixed nerves because they all carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.
Postganglionic fibers innervate glands in the body primarily through the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. These fibers originate from autonomic ganglia and connect to target tissues, including glands, often by traveling alongside spinal nerves. In the case of sympathetic innervation, postganglionic fibers may follow blood vessels or directly innervate glands like the adrenal medulla. In contrast, parasympathetic fibers arise from cranial nerves and sacral spinal nerves, directly influencing glands such as salivary and lacrimal glands.
The brachial plexus contains fibers from the ventral rami of the cervical spinal nerves (C5-C8) and the first thoracic spinal nerve (T1). These fibers combine to form the nerves that innervate the upper limb.

The ventral roots contain motor fibers.

They are referred to as thoracolumbar outflow and run parallel to the spinal cord in a series on connected ganglion.

axons of sensory neurons
The brachial plexus contains fibers from the ventral rami of the cervical spinal nerves (C5-C8) and the first thoracic spinal nerve (T1). These fibers combine to form the nerves that innervate the upper limb.
The 3 major contents of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the Autonomic nervous system.
