Final answer:

The parasympathetic system innervates organs above the lower GI tract, including the kidneys and upper ureters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parasympathetic system in the autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating the functions of various organs in the body. In relation to the question, the parasympathetic system innervates everything above the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the kidneys and upper ureters. The cranial component of the parasympathetic system controls the iris and ciliary body of the eye, as well as part of the intestines. The sacral component is responsible for innervating the majority of the large intestine and the pelvic organs of the urinary and reproductive systems.
