What else can I help you with?
What is the sympathetic effect on stroke volume?
increased contractility
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
Is increased heart rate sympathetic or parasympathetic?
sympathetic
Whats the function of veins and what are the effect of sympathetic activity on veins?
veins help with sex and the effect of sympathetic activity on veins is that it will help with sex
What causes your heart to race or create anxiety?
sympathetic
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.

Which finger's nerves connect to the heart?
The heart is innervated by parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers.
Does the effect of epinephrine mimic the effect of the sympathetic nervous system or the parasympathetic nervous system?
The effect of epinephrine mimics the effect of the sympathetic nervous system. Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline, and it activates the "fight or flight" responses in the body, such as increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and increasing blood flow to muscles.
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 is unopposed sympathetic activity?
Unopposed sympathetic activity is when the sympathetic nervous system is overly stimulated without a counterbalancing effect from the parasympathetic nervous system. It can lead to symptoms such as rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, sweating, and feelings of anxiety or agitation. This imbalance can occur in conditions like panic attacks or certain drug overdoses.
Does the heart receive both parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation?
yes
