What is the name of the nerve marked with an asterisk?

Which structures belong to the paravertebral ganglia?

Here you see a dissection specimen from the inside of the left chest half. The lung and pleura have been removed to expose an underlying elongated nerve structure. This is indicated by arrows. Which structure is it?

Here you see a dissection specimen from the inside of the left chest half. The lung and pleura have been removed to expose underlying neural structures. The spine, ribs, sympathetic trunk and intercostal nerves can be seen. A number of structures running between the sympathetic trunk and the intercostal nerves are pointed out. Which structures are these?

The animation shows the route of the sympathetic innervation to certain target organs. The synapse takes place in a ganglion in the sympathetic trunk (= a paravertebral ganglion), at the level of entry into the sympathetic trunk, or higher or lower (not shown), after which the spinal nerve is reached via the grey ramus communicans. The stimulus is then further conducted through the posterior and anterior ramus of the spinal nerve. Which target organs / target organ are involved?
