Does the vagus nerve carry impules that increase the 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.


What nerve is responsible for slowing the heart rate?

The Vagus Nerve (Number 10 or X)


Vagus nerveWhat is the effect of vagus nerve stimulation on the heartbeat?

Activation of the vagus nerve typically leads to a reduction in heart rate.. 


What is the affect on the heart if the vagal nerves to the heart were cut?

The vagus never innervates the heart and affects the SA node. Otto Loewi discovered that the vagus nerve through the action of Ach (a neurotransmitter) slowed the heart. So the vagus nerve can slow the action (or beating) of the heart.


Does the Vagus nerve carry nerve impulses that decrease the heart rate?

The vagus nerve releases the neurotransmitter, aceytlcholine, that slows down the heart rate. It is not the nerve impulses per se that do this, rather it is the the release of transmitter and it's interaction with post-synaptic receptors that have this effect.


What cranial nerve is responsible for slowing the heart rate and accelerating peristalsis?

VAGUS


How is the heart rate controlled by the nervous system in an intact organism?

By the vagus nerve.


Vagal escape occurs when heart is stimulated by what?

Vagal escape occurs when the parasympathetic nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve, fails to regulate the heart rate and the heart muscle is instead stimulated by other mechanisms. This can happen in situations where there is a prolonged increase in sympathetic nerve activity or when there is a dysfunction in the parasympathetic nervous system.


Impulses that are carried to the heart by means of the vagus nerve are?

Parasympathetic impulses and cause the heart rate to decrease.


Which nerve controls speeding up or slowing down of the heart?

The Vagus nerve is the nerve that acts to lower the heart rate. It is part of the parasympathetic nervous system.


What causes the heart's pacemaker to change the rate at which the heart beats?

Nerves The sympatetic nerve increases the SA node to speed up the heart rate The parasympathetic nerve uses the vagus nerve which decreases HR
