A 28-year-old athlete is noted to have a baseline heart rate of 55bpm, which his trainer attributes to excellent parasympathetic (vagal) tone. This parasympathetic effect normally increases Ach release at the SA and AV nodes. Ach release into AV node leads to which of the following effects of its fibers? a. increased action potential amplitudeb. increased conduction velocityc. increased K+ equilibrium potentiald. Hyperpolarizatione. increased rate of depolarization of the pacemaker potential
