The brain can influence the heart in two ways. Sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation.
Parasympathetic stimulation of the heart is through the vagus nerve.
Sympathetic stimulation of the heart is via cervical and thoracic splanchnic nerves.
The heart has its own pacemaker cells, so the brain only changes the rate and contractility of the heart.

∙ 9y agoThe nerve impulse travels from the SA node to the cardiac muscle, myocardium. The myocardium contracts after stimulation. This contraction allows blood to be pumped.

In coronary conduction the electrical impulse is released at what level of the coronary electrical system?
With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, the heart has an extra nerve, or "accessory pathway" that electrically connects the _____ to the _____.
Which nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
The Vegal Nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart
Do the vagus nerve increase heart rate?
it decreased heart rate , since vagus nerve innervate parasympathetic never and we know parasympathetic nerve reduce heart rate.
What happens to your heart rate when you innervate your vagus nerve?
Stimulation of the vagus nerve decreases heart rate. The vagus nerve is an important part of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Does the vagus nerve carry impulses that increase heart rate?
Does the vagus nerve carry impules that increase the heart rate
Which travels quicker through the body a nerve impulse or a hormons?
a nerve impulse
What are function of SA nodes?
There is only one SA(sinoatrial) node. It is located by the right atrium of the heart. it initiates the nerve impulse which travels through both atria to initiate atrial contraction. Then the impulse travels to the AV(atrial ventricular) node. the nerve impulse travels through the intraventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it initiates the contraction of the ventricles(starting from the apex and squeezing the blood up and out of the arteries).
A nerve impulse starts at the dendrite then travels to the?
axon
How fast does a nerve impulse travels?
It 200 miles per hour And it can probally be in meters too.
The message that travels through a neuron?
A neural impulse. Specifically, once it fires, an action potential.
How is an impulse communicated from nerve cell to nerve cell?
Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.
Where does the nerve impulse travel from the reflex arc?
The nerve impulse travels through the reflex arc. It travels from the sensor through the sensory neurone, through the spinal cord and motor neurone to the effector muscle.
What is the direction of impulse in a neuron?
A nerve impulse travels toward the actual nucleus itself to pass information.
The nerve impulse travels as an electric charge and as it nears the synapse it becomes?
A chemical signal.
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?
one axon to a dendrite...
What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.
What is quicker a nerve impulse or a hormone?
nerve impulse
