sympathetic
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.
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. 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.

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.
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.
The parasympathetic nervous system helps regulate heart rate by slowing it down. It works in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, which speeds up heart rate.
The autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
the heart is supplied by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers . normally in resting state the heart is under the parasympathetic stimulation ; that's mean if you ramove the parasympathetic stimulation the heart rate will increase up to 100 beat by minute ( under normal conditions in healthy man the heart rate is 72 on average ) , during exercise the heart rate increase and that occurs by the sympathetic stimulation and decreasing the parasympathetic stimulation , and that exactly resemble what occurs when you increase the car velocity : so the we can say that the parasympathetic nerve acts as a braking system of the heart .written by : asma aburas ; medical student .
No, the parasympathetic n.s. will slow the heart down, the sympathetic n.s. will increase heart rate.
increase its rate and force of contraction
During a stressful event like a car accident, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is activated, leading to the release of adrenaline and increased heart rate to prepare the body for fight or flight. Once the danger has passed, the parasympathetic division kicks in to slow down heart rate, promote digestion, and return the body to a resting state.
Dual innervation refers to an organ receiving input from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. This allows for precise regulation of the organ's function by balancing the effects of these two opposing systems. Examples include the heart receiving both sympathetic stimulation (increasing heart rate) and parasympathetic stimulation (slowing heart rate).
Parasympathetic activation tends to have opposite effects to sympathetic activation. This means that parasympathetic activation typically promotes "rest and digest" functions such as slowing heart rate, promoting digestion, and relaxing muscles, while sympathetic activation triggers the "fight or flight" response, increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and redirecting blood flow to muscles.
