The posteromedial group is more distinct in the cervical enlargement and the lumbar enlargement and may be absent in the sacral segments. The anteromedial group is more distinct in the cervical segments 1, 2 and 4, thoracic segments 1 and 2, lumbar segments 3 and 4, and sacral segments 2 and 3 ( Carpenter-1983 ).
