Does sympathetic stimulation of the heart increases heart rate and force contractions?
Yes, sympathetic stimulation of the heart increases both heart rate and the force of contractions. This occurs through the release of catecholamines, such as norepinephrine, which bind to beta-adrenergic receptors on cardiac myocytes. This stimulation enhances the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial node, leading to an increased heart rate, and increases the contractility of the heart muscle, resulting in stronger contractions.

What does epinephrine do to the blood vessels?
Sympathetic stimulation (I'm guessing you mean your bodie's reaction in fight or flight) makes the blood vessles tighten, or constrict, hightening blood pressure. This is bad for you over long periods of time.
What term increases heart rate and contraction strength?
The term that increases heart rate and contraction strength is "sympathetic stimulation." This occurs when the sympathetic nervous system is activated, releasing hormones like adrenaline (epinephrine) that enhance cardiac output by increasing both the heart rate and the force of heart muscle contractions. This response is part of the body's "fight or flight" mechanism, preparing it for immediate physical activity.
When the intensity of contractions increases will the stimulus increase the intensity of contractons?
When the intensity of contractions increases, the stimulus does not necessarily increase the intensity of contractions further. Instead, the force of muscle contractions is primarily regulated by the frequency of stimulation and the recruitment of motor units. If the stimulation remains constant but the contraction intensity increases, it may indicate that the muscle is responding more efficiently or that more motor units are being activated. Thus, the relationship between stimulus and contraction intensity can be complex and depends on various physiological factors.
What happens if the heart receives more sympathetic stimulation than parasympathetic stimulation?
increase its rate and force of contraction
What are two experimental ways that the mode of stimulation can affect the muscle force?
Isotonic and Isometric Contractions
What two mechanisms influence the force of cardiac contraction?
End diastolic volume and sympathetic nervous system stimulation
Why are isotonic and isometric contractions two experimental ways that the mode of stimulation can affect the muscle force?

What is the force frequency relationship and how does it impact the behavior of a system?
The force-frequency relationship refers to how the force produced by a muscle or system changes with the frequency of stimulation. In general, as the frequency of stimulation increases, the force produced by the muscle also increases. This relationship impacts the behavior of the system by influencing its ability to generate force and perform tasks efficiently at different frequencies of stimulation.
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.
What happens to the amount of total force the muscle generates during the stimulated twitch?
The total force that a muscle generates during a stimulated twitch depends on the frequency and intensity of the stimulation. In general, as the stimulation frequency increases, the force generated by the muscle also increases up to a point, where it reaches a plateau known as tetanus. After this point, increasing the stimulation frequency further does not significantly increase the force output.
Which nervous system division controls smooth muscle contraction and secretion in the digestive system?
Autonomous nervous system. Consisting of Parasympathetic nervous system and Sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic nervous system increases the secretions of digestive tract and Sympathetic system decreases the secretions. Parasympathetic system increases the contractions of smooth muscles and increases the rate and force of peristalsis and Sympathetic system does vise verse.
How does the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the muscle?
Increasing the stimulus to an isolated muscle increases the strength of a contraction. A muscle begins to contract when the stimulus is given; however, if the muscle does not finish contracting before the next stimulus hits, then the force of the contraction will increase to finish the contraction. This is known as wave summation.
