Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. Lateral horn of spinal cord refers to a lateral sideways extension of the lateral intermediate substance (lamina VII). It can be found only in the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal segments (T1 to L2) and therefore does not extend throughout the length of the spinal cord.
