research shows that, in the absence of neural and hormonal influences, the SA node generates
action potentials at a frequency of approximately 100 times per minute. However, the resting
rate is approx 70 beats per/min, which suggests that? - ANSthe parasympathetic nervous
system has more control over heart rate
the SA (sinoatrial) node in the human heart is located.. - ANSin the right atrium
explain the effect that extreme vagus nerve stimulation had on the heart - ANSwith extreme
vagal stimulation the heart rate will slow down due to a slower rate of rise during phase 4 of the
pacemaker potential and a decrease in the conduction of action potentials within the cardiac
muscle
explain to ways the heart can overcome excessive vagal stimulation - ANS1) an ectopic
pacemaker to resume the heart rate
2) increase SNS activity
