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 information do nerve impulses require?

How would a nerve carrying impulses from your brain to your eyelids be different to one carrying impulses to your heart?

The nerve carrying impulses from your brain to your eyelids would be a cranial nerve, such as the oculomotor nerve (responsible for eyelid movement), while the nerve carrying impulses to your heart would be part of the autonomic nervous system, such as the vagus nerve (regulating heart rate). Additionally, the nerve to the heart would primarily involve motor signals, while the nerve to the eyelids would involve sensory and motor signals for eyelid function.

Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.


What carries impulses toward the cell body?

Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
