What does the vagus nerve NOT innervate?

Pancreas, kidneys, parotid gland, or gallbladder. Please NO guesses.

The kidney is innervated by the lesser and/or least splanchnic nerve(s) from the thoracic spine. So, it is NOT innervated by the vagus nerve. Note: the other 3 choices are all involved with digestion - a major 'function' of the vagus nerve.

Best wishes and good luck.
