A member asked:
Can you tell me which controls how fast or slow the heart beats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflexes: There are chemoreceptors and baroreceptors in the neck which control heart rate. Heart rate control is mediated by the vagus nerve and by circulating catecholamines secreted by the adrenal gland.
