Summary Introduction
Introduction: Nervous system is controlling the actions of the body. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released in the nervous system that pass information in the form of signals from one neuron to other and ultimately to the brain. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter.

Which one of the following statements about gap junctions or electrical synapses is incorrect? A. Abundant gap junctions between cardiac muscle cells allow coordinated waves of contraction to spread through the heart muscle. B. Synaptic delays at electrical synapses are shorter than synaptic delays at chemical synapses. C. Gap junctions at electrical synapses are formed from proteins made in both the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells. D. Electrical synapses can be either excitatory or inhibitory. E. Electrical synapses are inherently bidirectional, i.e., current can spread between two coupled cells in either direction

Which of the following statements is false? a. The sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are positive chronotropic and inotropic agents. b. The endocrine system regulates cardiac output through chronotropic and inotropic hormones and through hormones that regulate water balance .c. The parasympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine,which is a strongly negative inotropic agent. d. Factors such as electrolyte concentrations, body temperature,and age all affect cardiac output.
In conditioned athletes, the resting Heart Rate is generally much lower than in non-athletes. Why?
a-because long-term exercise reduces Cardiac Output at rest to conserve energy
b-because athletes have a smaller Stroke Volume at rest, causing Heart Rate to decrease as well
c-because long-term exercise leads to increased vagal tone which slows Heart Rate
d-because athletes have stronger ventricles and therefore a larger Stroke Volume at rest, so they require fewer bpm to achieve the same Cardiac Output
