Respuesta :
The vagus nerve has several functions, including slowing the heart rate. There are several simple vagal maneuvers you can do to trigger the vagus nerve to slow down an accelerating heart rate. This is a condition known as tachycardia.
Does the vagus nerve control heart rate?
Parasympathetic control of the heart via the vagus nerve is the primary mechanism that regulates beat-to-beat control of heart rate.
Additionally, the vagus nerve exerts significant effects at the AV node, as well as effects on both atrial and ventricular myocardium.
What is the function of the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is responsible for the regulation of internal organ functions, such as digestion, heart rate, and respiratory rate, as well as vasomotor activity, and certain reflex actions, such as coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting.
