What is the name for the specific part of the heart which sets the rate at which the heart will beat?

The pacemaker of the heart is known as the sinoatrial (SA) node. It sets the rate at which the heart will beat without any autonomic stimulation, that is, no sympathetic or parasympathetic activity. Increases in sympathetic activity will increase the heart rate while increases in parasympathetic activity decrease heart rate. The pacemaker of the heart is known as the sinoatrial (SA) node.

What is an antagonist in the autonomic nervous system?

An antagonist in the autonomic nervous system is a substance that blocks the action of neurotransmitters at specific receptors. This can result in the inhibition of certain physiological responses mediated by the autonomic nervous system, such as heart rate or smooth muscle contraction. Antagonists are often used in medicine to treat conditions where modulating autonomic functions is beneficial.


Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division of the ANS synapse with the?

Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system synapse with postganglionic neurons in the ganglia located near or within their target organs. This allows for the transmission of nerve impulses from the central nervous system to the specific organs to regulate functions like digestion, salivation, and smooth muscle contraction.
