Summary
One of the most important organs in the body is the heart. Of course, this organ is of great importance not only in humans but in all vertebrates. Blood, which carries nutrients, oxygen, and wastes from organ to organ within the body is pumped by the heart. Without the heart’s pumping action, blood would simply remain stagnant within the vessels of the body, and any vertebrate in this condition would die off very quickly.
Table of Contents
- While the heart is essential to all vertebrates alike, it is important to note that there are some stark distinctions between the hearts of different vertebrates.
- Although the heart is able to initiate its own action potential and make itself beat, there are sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons that innervate it.
- As compared to the control, adding epinephrine sped up heart rate but, according to the readings, decreased contractile strength.
