How do parasympathetic neural signals affect the working of the heart?
Reduce both heart rate and cardiac output.
Heart rate is increased without affecting the cardiac output.
Both heart rate and cardiac output increase
Heart rate decreases but cardiac output increases.
As learnt in
Factors affecting Cardiac Output -
Parasympathetic neural signals (another component of ANS) decrease the rate of heart beat, speed of conduction of action potential and thereby the cardiac output.
