Yes it does. Acetylcholine decreases the heart rate. It acts on the muscarinic (m2) receptor which decreases the activity of adenylate cyclase. This in turn decreases the production of cycliac AMP -> decreases the amount of protein kinase a activated -> decreases the amount of calcuim entry -> decreased activity of myocytes in heart- which results in decreased permeability of l type voltaged gated calcuim channels and decreases the length of time they are open for -> decreased calcuim levels -> decreased heart rate.

What component of fitness can lead to a decrease in resting heart rate?
Cardiovascular fitness can lead to a decrease in resting heart rate.
Does cold ringer's solution increase or decrease heart rate?
In decreases the heart rate.
Which neurotransmitters speed up or slow down the heart rate?
The chemical neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine attaches to what is known as a muscarinic receptor. This brings the body back to "rest and digest", and relaxes it from the "fight or flight" response.
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 would be the effect of atropine on the heart?
Atropine is a cholinergic antagonist which blocks the acetylcholine receptor causing increased sympathetic tone increasing the heart rate
What is the effect of atropine plus acetylcholine on frog heart?
ACh will decrease heart rate/contractile strength, etc. Atropine is a muscarinic ACh receptor (mAChR) antagonist, so blocks the effects of ACh. Adding both together will result in a weak action of ACh that tails off as all the mAChRs become blocked by Atropine.
Impulses carried to the heart by means of fibers that secrete acetylcholine are what?
Impulses carried to the heart by fibers that secrete acetylcholine are typically from the parasympathetic nervous system. Acetylcholine acts on specific receptors in the heart to slow the heart rate. This helps regulate the heart's activity and maintain balance in the autonomic nervous system.
What does acetylcholin do to the heart?
Acetylcholine decreases the heart rate.
What nerves send electrical signals to your heart?
The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches that regulate the heart rate. The sympathetic nerves release neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine to increase heart rate, while the parasympathetic nerves release acetylcholine to decrease heart rate.
What neurotransmitter dercreases heart rate?
acetylcholine~ACh
How does acetylcholine affect the cardiac cycle?
Ach decreases the heart rate and the force of the contraction. This is done through signaling molecules, and how they have a different effect on the heart vs salivary glands is that they have different receptors but sometimes they have the same receptor just the internal machinery is different.
How do sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves affect a pacemaker?
Sympathetic nerves increase the heart rate by releasing norepinephrine, while parasympathetic nerves decrease the heart rate by releasing acetylcholine. This affects the pacemaker by altering its firing rate and influencing overall heart rhythm.
What component of fitness can lead to a decrease in resting heart rate?
Cardiovascular fitness can lead to a decrease in resting heart rate.
What are the negative chronotropic factors?
Chronotropes increase the human heart rate, sometimes by changing the rhythm of the sinoatrial node. Negative chronotropes decrease the heart rate.
Does exercising increase or decrease heart rate?
Of course exersizing increases heart rate
Does cold ringer's solution increase or decrease heart rate?
In decreases the heart rate.
Which neurotransmitters speed up or slow down the heart rate?
