Heart rate is increased/decreased by sympathetic
Heart rate is increased/decreated by parasympathetic
- increased
- decreased
How does sympathetic stimulation increase heart rate?
Speeds up rate of phase 4 depolarization via norepinephrine release that increases inward Na and Ca current
How does parasympathetic stimuation decrease heart rate?
Acetylcholine increases K+ permeability so:
1) hyperpolarizes the cell
2) slows spontaneous phase 4 depol
