parasympathetic control of HR by what nerve?
vagus nerve
sympathetic control of Heart contraction by what spinal cord segments?
T1-T4
rooted to heart and coronary arteries via
cardipulmonary nerve plexus = situated at the bifurcation of the trachea
autonomic motor fibres that supply the heart travel from?
Sensory and pain fibres from the hear wall travel to what spina cord level?
T1-T4
sympathetic nerves
note (the somatic - sensory nerves in T1-4 supply determatomes on inner aspect of arm - so pain from heart = can be interpreted as coming from dermatomes instead of heart (e.g/ left upper arm) upper arm dermatomes because these are strong impulses than autonomic ones
modified cells in SA node are known as
Purkinje cells (nodal cells)
outline conducting system
sympathetic innervation of the heart
T1-T4 spinal segment
SA node/AV node
but also
myocardium muscle/cardiac muscle - can increase contractility

Why is angina pain referred much more often to the left upper arm than the right?
heart is situated more to the left side of the chest and so the brain will interpret the pain impulses as coming from the left arm more frequently than it does the right arm
Where is the SA node found
Right atrium
near opening of SVC
where is the AV node found
near the coronary sinus on the inferior part of
-> interatrial septum.
c) The atrioventricular bundles (of His) - lie within each side of the ???
interventricular septum
