Does the parasympathetic nerve acts as a braking system for the heart?

the heart is supplied by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers . normally in resting state the heart is under the parasympathetic stimulation ; that's mean if you ramove the parasympathetic stimulation the heart rate will increase up to 100 beat by minute ( under normal conditions in healthy man the heart rate is 72 on average ) , during exercise the heart rate increase and that occurs by the sympathetic stimulation and decreasing the parasympathetic stimulation , and that exactly resemble what occurs when you increase the car velocity : so the we can say that the parasympathetic nerve acts as a braking system of the heart .written by : asma aburas ; medical student .
