The vagus nerve is one of the twelve cranial nerves.
Your kidneys control the water and electrolytes in the blood.It does not require direct brain input and will function with either transplant kidneys without innervation or in Paraplegics.The kidneys are innervated by the Vagus nerve and the splanchnic nerves as well as the pelvic nerve. These nerves seem to provide some additional regulation.The Vagus nerve originates in the Medulla Oblongata. As far as I can tell, the splanchnic nerve originates in the splanchnic ganglion, but I'm having troubles finding where else it goes.
