For the answer to the question above, I believe that the answer to your question is that the heart rate will decrease if there's an extreme vagus nerve stimulation The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is the "fight or flight" part of the autonomic nervous system, whereas the parasympathetic is the "feed or breed" part. The sympathetic side acts to speed things up; it increases heart rate, the blood pressure, also the respiratory rate, it dilates pupils, shunts blood away from the GI tract, and so on...
The parasympathetic the opposite in which acts to slow things down; it lowers down the heart rate or decrease blood pressure, it increases salivation, increase blood flow to the GI tract, and so on. The two systems are always balancing each other. The confusing part is that when you INCREASE the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system you DECREASE the activity of the heart; so increased vagal tone will slow the heart rate, decreases the contractility, and lowers blood pressure. When the heart is excitable and has certain types of arrhythmia, increasing the vagal stimulation can slow the heart down enough to allow the normal pacemaker functions to take over again also called as converting.

Examples of vagus nerve stimulation is the Valsalva maneuver as well as massaging the carotid area. The extreme vagus nerve stimulation will produce a significant decrease in heart rate because the vagus nerve has autonomic functions, specifically primarily parasympathetic output. Parasympathetic stimulation of the heart decreases the conduction velocity (negative dromotropic effect) of the impulses from the sinuatrial node to the Purkenji fibers therefore decreasing the overall heart rate (negative chronotropic effect).

It depends on the surface of the levels. the rougher the surface, the greater is the frictional force. for rougher surfaces, you would need to exert greater force to move the object. the concept is that, you must overcome the frictional force in order to bring the object into motion. this is the reason why we add lubricants to the joints so they could easily move. this answer was on

Answer from: Quest

essentially, one bacterial cell splits into two daugurer cells. bacterial offspring don't need or get care from their parents because they are in a sense their own parents. that said, some bacteria can and do depend on other bacteria especially in harsh environments such as bacterial microfilms in hot water tanks.

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).
