fast heart rate
What’s vagus nerve
involved in parasympathetic control.
Heart: It helps to regulate heart rate by slowing it down.
whats cardiac accelerator
The cardiac accelerator function is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system. It increases heart rate (positive chronotropic effect) and the force of heart contractions (positive inotropic effect)
what do cardiac accelerators release and do
release neurotransmitters like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) that act on beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart.
Whats vasomotor nerves
mediated by the sympathetic nervous system, which uses neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine to control diameter of blood vessels
