Vagus nerve excessively.
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
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.

What nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
Vagal
What organs that vasoconstriction rarely occurs?
The heart and kidneys
Does the first heart sound occurs at the same time as the P wave of the electrocardiogram?
yes
A mutation occurs in a heart cell of a developing squirrel.The mutation disrupts the information of a certain protein. what will mostlikely happen to the squirrel?
The squirrel will have a heart that does not function correctly.
A mutation occurs in a heart of a developing squirrel the mutation disrupts the formation of a certain protein what will most likely happen to the squirrel?
The squirrel will have a heart that does not function correctly.
What causes vagal escape?
when cardiac muscle begins to contract after a brief period of rest after vagal stimulation its initial strength of contraction increases to a plateau by staircase effect strong vagal stimulation of heart can stop heart beat for few seconds
What occurs when beta receptors are stimulated?
When beta receptors are stimulated, it decreases the heart rate to treat for low blood pressure.
How can the heart overcome excessive vagal stimulation?
The heart can overcome excessive vagal stimulation through sympathetic reflexes and the initiation of a rhythm by the Purkinje fibers.
Increased vagal stimulation would cause?
"Increased vagal stimulation would cause..." The heart rate to decrease.
What nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
Vagal
During CPR the heart and what are stimulated?
During CPR the heart and lungs are stimulated.
During CPR the and are stimulate?
During CPR the lungs and heart are stimulated.
What is the effect of pilocarpine on heart rate?
Pilocarpine stimulates the release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic neurons. Therefore, it stimulates the effect of vagal stimulation on the heart.
What organs are stimulated during cpr?
The heart and lungs are stimulated to keep you breathing and your blood circulating.
What innervates the heart?
The heart is innervated by vagal and sympathetic fibers. The right vagus nerve primarily innervates the SA node, whereas the left vagus innervates the AV node; however, there can be significant overlap in the anatomical distribution. Atrial muscle is also innervated by vagal efferents, whereas the ventricular myocardium is only sparsely innervated by vagal efferents. Sympathetic efferent nerves are present throughout the atria (especially in the SA node) and ventricles, including the conduction system of the heart.
The heart beats because?
It is stimulated by the peacemaker tissue.
When PNS is stimulated does the heart increase or decrease?
decrease
