Solution

When a parasympathetic nerve supply to the heart is disturbed, the heart rate will​
a) decrease​
b) increase​
c) heart stops​
d) heart beats without nervous control​
Correct answer: (d) heart beats without nervous control​ ​
- The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls the involuntary actions of the internal organs. ​
- There are two parts of the ANS- sympathetic and parasympathetic. ​
- Sympathetic system prepares the body for emergency situations while parasympathetic system re-establishes normal conditions after the extreme act is over. ​ ​
Correct answer: ​ ​
- For example, sympathetic nervous system increases while the parasympathetic nervous system decreases the heartbeat. ​ Without input from either source, the heart will continue to beat at approximately 70-80 beats per minute.​ ​ ​ ​
