Do you have nerves in your heart?

Yes, but not somatic nerves. Instead the heart is enervated by the autonomic nervous system (used mainly to speed up and/or slow down the heart rate). There is also an internal set of nerves (referred to as Perkingi fibers) that are used to synchronize the beats of the heart.


What are the comparatives action on the parasympathetic nerves and sympathetic nerves in circulatory system of the body?

The parasympathetic nerves secrete norepinepherine at the AV node (the pacemaker), which slows the heart and reduces stroke volume (the amount of blood the ventricles pump out with each cycle. Sympathetic nerves do the opposite; they secrete epinepherine at the AV node, which stimulates the heart to increase speed and stroke volume, so that more blood is pumped from the heart faster.


What system conrols the regulations of the beats?

The "autonomic" nervous system controls the speed with which the heart beats.


What is a good way to remember the definition of autonomic nervous system?

The autonomic nervous system is always on automatic. You don't have to think about it. When it needs to speed up, it speeds up. when it needs to slow down, it slows down. It is all automatic.


What happens to your heart rate when you start jogging?

Whenever you begin to exercise, you begin to use more oxygen. As you use more O2, more capillaries open up letting more blood to flow into your veins. As it flows into the heart, the heart fills sooner, so it beats quicker. (There are also autonomic nerves that will speed up the heart, so that you don't need to wait for the flow to increase, i.e. it anticipates the reaction.)


If your speed slows down you will have what acceleration?

If your speed slows down, yYou will have negative acceleration or deceleration.


Which part of the brain comtrols the heart beat?

Actually, the heart beats on its' own with the SA node in the heart wall. Impulses from nerves from the spinal cord can cause the heart to speed up or slow down almost instantaneously.


What causes the heart's pacemaker to change the rate at which the heart beats?

Nerves The sympatetic nerve increases the SA node to speed up the heart rate The parasympathetic nerve uses the vagus nerve which decreases HR


What is a nerves top speed?

Does the shape of the sail affect the speed?

Yes, It depends on the speed but it slows it down.


What nerve is cranial and spinal?

The basic difference between the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves is the role they play, in helping our bodies to function properly. The body has what is called a peripheral nervous system consisting of more than 100 billion nerve cells, which run all throughout our body, making connections with our brain, as well as other parts of the body, and sometimes with each other. The peripheral nervous system is composed of two systems the somatic and autonomic nervous system. These nerves connect with both the brain and the spinal cord. Our muscles are controlled by voluntary and sensory receptors in the skin, this is an example of the somatic system. The autonomic system connects the brain stem and the spinal cord to the internal organs, and also regulates the body processes, like heart rate and blood pressure, stomach acid, and the speed of food travelling through our digestive systems. The autonomic nervous system is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Each has a job to do within the body. The sympathetic division helps us to deal with stressful or emergency situations. They help us to know, when to fight and when to take flight. The parasympathetic division helps the body to function, in normal situations. Both divisions regulate our pulse, breathing and blood pressure to keep them stable. The cranial nerves connect our brain to our eyes, ears, nose, throat and other parts of our head, neck and trunk. There are twelve (12) pairs of cranial nerves. The nerves, which connect the spinal cord to with other parts of the body are called spinal nerves. The brain communicates or connects with other parts of the body through the spinal nerves. We have thirty-one (31) pairs of spinal nerves. Spinal nerves and cranial nerves are connected with the somatic and the autonomic parts of the peripheral nervous system. Some nerves are sensory nerves and other nerves are motor nerves, depending upon their function within the body.
