How does the PNS affect the organs of the body?
With regard to specific target organs and tissues, parasympathetic stimulation acts to decrease heart rate and decrease the force of contraction. Parasympathetic stimulation also reduces the conduction velocity of cardiac muscle fibers.
Does the parasympathetic nervous system increase or decrease BP?
The parasympathetic nervous system serves as the "rest and digest" system, which results in vasodilation of the peripheral vessels. This results in an overall decrease in 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.
Heartbeat is governed by what body system?
Heart muscles has there own rhythm of contraction. The sinoatrial node has the fastest rate of contraction. That is why it governs the rhythm of the heart. You have the control of the autonomic nervous system over the heart rate. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system increase the heart rate. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system decrease the heart rate.
What is the cranial nerve that releases a chemical that decrease the pulse and the force of a contraction?
vagus nerve
What would the parasympathetic nervous system do to the myocardial contraction strength?
Decrease it

Does the parasympathetic nervous system increase or decrease heart rate?
Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems innervate the heart. The parasympathetic nervous system functions in regulating heart rate through the vagus nerve, with increased vagal activity producing a slowing of heart reate. The sympathetic nervous system has an excitatory influence on heart rate and contractlitiy, and it serves as the final common pathway for controlling the smooth muscle tone of the blood vessels.

What is the parasympathetic and Sympathetic effect on the stomach?
The parasympathetic is stimulatory to stomach , increase the gastric secretion and motility while the sympathetic is inhibitory , decrease the gastric secretion and motility
Extension and Contraction of Demand?
extension and contraction in demand. extension mean increase in demand and contraction man decrease in demand

Heart muscles has there own rhythm of contraction. The sinoatrial node has the fastest rate of contraction. That is why it governs the rhythm of the heart. You have the control of the autonomic nervous system over the heart rate. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system increase the heart rate. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system decrease the heart rate.
What is the sympathetic effect on the heart?
Heart rate increases with sympathetic nervous system. There is increase in stroke volume and cardiac output. With stimulation of vagus nerve or parasympathetic nervous system, You have decrease in heart rate. There is decrease the stroke volume and cardiac output.
Which of the following would produce a DECREASE in heart rate?
parasympathetic impulses along the vagus nerve
Impulses that are carried to the heart by means of the vagus nerve are?
Parasympathetic impulses and cause the heart rate to decrease.
What chemicals decrease strength of heart contraction?
Anesthetics and barbiturates.
