Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which pairing is correct?
A
Parasympathetic; endings concentrate in SA, AV nodes and atria/ventricle muscles
B
Sympathetic; endings concentrate in SA, AV nodes and atria/ventricle muscles
C
Parasympathetic; endings concentrate in atria, SA, AV nodes
D
Sympathetic; endings concentrate in atria, SA, AV nodes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative dromotropic effect (decrease conduction velocity): Stimulation of the parasympathetic system serves to inhibit AV node conduction velocity.

Detailed explanation-2: -The SA node is supraventricular and is sensitive to parasympathetic and sympathetic influence. The atrioventricular node (AV) and the Bundle of His/Purkinje fibers are two additional groups of specialized pacemaker cardiomyocytes, they have the second and third fastest automaticity rates respectively.
