KIDNEY AND PANCREAS INNERVATION (Mnemonic)

The way Vivi recalls the kidney and pancreas innervation is assigning the number 1 to the organ kidney (because is the #1 arterial pressure regulator organ) and #2 to the pancreas (because type II Diabetes is the most common diabetes ja ja)

Both organs have α and ß receptors

In general α receptors in these two organs decrease and ß receptors increase secretion/release of its hormones.

There you go!

Kidney:
α1 receptors ↓ Renin Release
ß1 receptors ↑ Renin Release

Pancreas:
α2 receptors ↓ Insulin Secretion
ß2 receptors ↑ Insulin Secretion
