Every organ has their own nerves. Some have more or less their own brain cells (especially your gut). All nerves have memory to some degree - muscle memory is literally a thing

The amount of local regulatory control varies between organs, but the more complex they are the more you can assume the internal nerves control most of it and that the connection to the brain regulates it somewhat
