Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The network of heart nerves that helps in efficient functioning of heart is called as innervations of heart. The sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves innervates heart. These nerves affect heart rate, contraction forces, and cardiac output.

- Roberto is a 78-year-old male who has recently been diagnosed with Class III Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). His physician told him that his left ventricle has become stiff and cannot relax. Although there is no current treatment that can “fix” Roberto’s condition, he is prescribed two medications: an ACE inhibitor and beta blockers. Which of these statements is most likely true of Roberto’s current symptoms? He doesn’t experience any symptoms at all at rest or during exercise. He has no symptoms at all during rest, but experiences palpitations, fatigues, and shortness of breath during mild exercise. He experiences fatigue, shortness of breath, and palpitations at rest and is not able to participate in any physical activity.arrow_forwardCardiac output cannot increase indefinitely because (a) available filling time becomes shorter as the heart rate increases. (b) the cardiac center adjusts the heart rate. (c) the rate of spontaneous depolarization decreases. (d) the ion concentrations surrounding pacemaker plasma membranes decrease.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: The activity of the heart depends on intrinsic properties of cardiac muscle and on neural factors. Thus, (a) vagus nerve stimulation of the heart reduces heart rate, (b) sympathetic nerve stimulation of the heart decreases time available for ventricular filling, (c) sympathetic stimulation of the heart increases its forceof contraction, (d) all of the above.arrow_forward
