The Vagus nerve is the nerve that acts to lower the heart rate. It is part of the parasympathetic nervous system.
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is responsible for slowing the heart rate (parasympathetic control) and accelerating peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract.
Vagus nerve; excessive stimulation causes bradycardia.
The Vagus Nerve (Number 10 or X)
CN X (Vagus)
The automatic nerve response is from the system which controls the involuntary autonomous functions of the body. Breathing and heart beats are examples of these.
Yes you could. Kicking in the stomach activates the nerve call Vagus nerve (CN 10). This nerves inhibits the heart by slowing down the heart rate. If the blow on the stomach is too strong, then it could cause heart arrest.
brain stem
Chemicals that retard behavior by affecting nerve impulses can include depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates, which slow down nerve impulses. Stimulants like amphetamines and cocaine can speed up nerve impulses. These substances can alter brain function and behavior by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain.
auditory nerve
Femoral nerve
The cranial nerve that innervates the ear is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two branches: the vestibular nerve that controls balance and the cochlear nerve that controls hearing.
An abducent nerve is a nerve which controls the lateral rectus muscle in the eye.
