What cranial nerve is responsible for slowing the heart rate and accelerating peristalsis?
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is responsible for slowing the heart rate (parasympathetic control) and accelerating peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract.
Cranial nerve involved with slowing the heart?
Vagus nerve; excessive stimulation causes bradycardia.
What nerve is responsible for slowing the heart rate?
The Vagus Nerve (Number 10 or X)
Which cranial nerve controls the heart and lungs?
CN X (Vagus)
An automatic nerve response?
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.
Can someone really DIE from a kick in the stomach?

What part of the brains controls heart rate and breathing?
brain stem
What are chemicals that retard behavior by either speeding up or slowing down nerve impulses?
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.
What cranial nerve controls the ears?
auditory nerve
What nerve controls quadriceps muscle group?
Femoral nerve
Which cranial nerve innervates the ear?
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.
