How do the nervous and circulatory systems interact?
The brain and spinal cord send messages to the heart and blood vessels via the peripheral nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic nervous system innervates the heart and causes an increases heart rate and force of contraction; it also innervates the blood vessels and can produce either constriction of the blood vessels or relaxation. The parasympathetic nervous system innervates the heart as well, but reduces heart rate and force of contraction. With few exceptions, the parasympathetic nervous system does not innervate the blood vessels. As a consequence of this innervation, the peripheral nervous system regulates heart rate and blood pressure.
In what way do the parasympathetic and the sympatheticnervous systems work together?
Yes. The vagus nerve is a parasympathetic nerve that is almost always stimulating the healthy heart to have a heart rate less than the inherent rate of the SA node. The sympathetic innervation on the heart is minimal and only important during exercise.
Decreasing heart rate is under the control of what nervous division?
Parasympathetic
What nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
Vagal
Regulates heart activity via the vagus nerve?
Parasympathetic nervous system
What structure represents the parasympathetic innervation of the heart?
Vagus nerve
What structure represents the parasympathic innervation of the heart?
Cardiac branches of the two vagi
The separate effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation of the pacemaker region of the heart can best be described as?
antagonistic
If you have just placed an advanced airway in a patient with a respiratory condition and his heart rate decreased what BEST explains the decreasing heart rate?
Most likely you have pressed on the vagus nerve that controls parasympathetic innervation to the heart.
Does single innervation control heart rate?
No. The heart receive dual innervation -Brad Medling
What has the author Edwin Frederick Hirsch written?
Edwin Frederick Hirsch has written: 'The innervation of the lung' -- subject(s): Innervation, Lungs 'The innervation of the vertebrate heart' -- subject(s): Heart, Innervation, Nervous system, Vertebrates
Which nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
The Vegal Nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart

Which neurotransmitter is released into the heart by the vagus nerves that slow the heart?
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic innervation of the heart releases acetylcholine from its varicosities (the sites where neurotransmitter is released). The acetylcholine binds to M-2 muscarinc receptors to mediate the negative chronotropic (slowing of heart rate) effect. This also mediates a negative inotropic (lowering of force of contraction) effect.

Yes. The vagus nerve is a parasympathetic nerve that is almost always stimulating the healthy heart to have a heart rate less than the inherent rate of the SA node. The sympathetic innervation on the heart is minimal and only important during exercise.
Decreasing heart rate is under the control of what nervous division?
Parasympathetic
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.
