|
Acetylcholine
|
ACH neurotransmitter for parasympathetic. Decreases HR
|
|
Norepinephrine
|
NE Neurotransmitter for the sympathetic. Increased HR
|
|
ACH binds with what type of receptors?
|

|
What is the effect of ACH in the parasympathetic?
|
ACH binds with muscarinic receptors in the parasympathetic and the effect is a slow heart rate.
