Can you please mention to me source of autonomic nerv system innervation(symp and parasymp ) for the following blood vessels 1.Brachial artery 2.Radial artery 3.Ulnar artery 4.Brachial Vein 5.Cephalic Vein 6.Basilic vein

As the vessels mentioned are related to the upper limb, the associated sympathetics arise from preganglionic lateral horn cells at the T1-6(7) spinal levels.  Postganglionic cells are located in the stellate (cervic-thoracic) and T2 ganglia.

There are no parasympathetic axons in the limbs.
