Q

Sympathetic innervation of the heart- Arises from ____ and ___ thoracic portions of the sympathetic trunks- _____ sympathetic fibers terminate on the ______ and _____ nodes, _____ fibers and _______- Activation of these nerves results in cardiac _____, ____ force of contraction of the cardiac muscle and _____ of the coronary arteries

A
  • Arises from cervical and upper thoracic portions of the sympathetic trunks- Postganglionic sympathetic fibers terminate on the SA and AV nodes, cardiac muscle fibers and coronary arteries- Activation of these nerves results in cardiac acceleration, increased force of contraction of the cardiac muscle and dilation of the coronary arteries
