decreases the heart rate
The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) primarily decreases cardiac output by lowering heart rate through the action of the vagus nerve. It releases acetylcholine, which binds to receptors in the heart, promoting a decrease in heart rate and slowing conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node. While the PNS has a lesser effect on contractility compared to the sympathetic nervous system, its predominant role in reducing heart rate leads to an overall decrease in cardiac output. This balancing effect is crucial for maintaining homeostasis during rest and digestion.

Heart beat
The subdivision of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that regulates the activity of the heart is the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Specifically, the sympathetic division increases heart rate and contractility, while the parasympathetic division, primarily through the vagus nerve, decreases heart rate. Together, these divisions help maintain homeostasis in cardiac function.
