Chapter 20.9, Problem 42AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The neurotransmitters produced by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and their effects on membrane permeability and excitability.
Introduction:
Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules that are released by the neurons in response to a stimulus that excites the other neurons and brings about a nerve signal impulse transmission.

What effect would stimulating the acetylcholine receptors of the heart have on cardiac output?
Which nerves of the body carry ANS fibers that innervate the SA and AV nodes of the heart? Which of the nerves you listed carry sympathetic fibers and which carry parasympathetic fibers? What is the effect of increased sympathetic impulses on heart rate? What about increased parasympathetic impulses?

What was the mechanism by which this occurred?

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. Briefly describe how beta-blockers will influence Roberto’s heart function, specifically the physiology of the ventricles.arrow_forward
