Updated version of the central and peripheral sympathetic nervous systems (original drawing by Kumagai). Afferent renal nerves detect information regarding the state of the kidney, such as hypertension, ischemia, angiotensin II and adenosine, and are important in the regulation of efferent sympathetic nerve activities and BP. The importance of RVLM neurons is also understood as a pivotal position in the determination of sympathetic nerve activities.
