How Adrenaline and Acetylcholine Affect Heart Rate

In this episode, I discuss the effect of Adrenaline and Acetylcholine on heart rate. Adrenaline speeds it up and Acetylcholine slows it down. They both have their effect by modifying the conductance for ions such as Sodium, Potassium and Calcium across the membrane of the cells of the SA node. Watch the video to find out how :)

@johny2481 Thank you sir. Glad to know you are finding value in the content. Stay tuned for many more videos :)

[@InteractiveBiology]

@KurikuShot Glad this helped a lot :) We have more Biology videos in our website just in case you need more help. Stay tuned!

When I read about this I was so confused. Thank you heaps much for making it not just simple but easy to remember!

[@InteractiveBiology]

@petercourt Yes, that's correct. That's what I said in the video. When it reaches the threshold, Calcium channels open, resulting in Calcium rushing in. Sodium is involved in the pacemaker potential primarily and how the membrane depolarizes to reach the threshold, but the overwhelming effect is due to Calcium causing the action potential. Hope that answers your questions!

[@SamGuthrie1977]

Thanks! Great video -- this is exactly what I was looking for concerning Acetylcholine's effects on heart rate.

[@InteractiveBiology]

@Livinglifehigh Yeah and that was a mistake. Maybe I need to be burning everything in my videos from now on. Keeps things interesting - LOL.

[@mhealthlete1322]

I love these interactive biology videos they are sooooooo simplified and helpful!!!

[@GGCMGC]

I love and I am grateful for every video here. It helps a lot. What about the plateau in the pacemaker?

[@jewelonvacation7962]

I don't know why.. I'm actually enjoying it :D Thank you so much!

[@dr.shamsridha3088]

that was so nice and easy !! it help me for my study in the pharmacology
thank you

[@Alexsh2010]

This was really really helpful! Thanks!

[@user-pi1xh1ol1t]

Thank you . Perfect explanation

[@romeolhk1008]

This is precious!

[@Sonamyfan92]

This was helpful when trying to study for my bio test!

thank you sir, was very helpful

[@SasidharMittapalli]

Thank you that was just perfect explanation i was looking for. You din't mention when acetlycholine will be released?

[@InteractiveBiology]

@petercourt You're Welcome!

[@AmandaFlopp]

The video was so helpful. Thanks

[@InteractiveBiology]

You're very much welcome, Amanda. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Make sure to subscribe and stay tuned for more.

[@HafizahHoshni]

THANKS!

[@petercourt]

Thanks!

[@maryamaffaf7501]

Helpful💗

[@billyshears678]

Just an fyi that, physiologically speaking, acetylcholinergic agents actually increase heart rate when administered. Ach's effect on the SA node is weaker than the vasodilatory effects systemically (which cause a drop in blood pressure) and in response there is a reflex tachycardia (a compensatory increase in heart rate).

[@mattwilson7443]

The explanation in the video still confuses me. Doesn't potassium want to stay around -92 mV, so if ACh causes potassium to leave the cell more quickly wouldn't the cell depolarize more quickly as well as?

[@richaisdbest]

Thanks a lot.You make it so easy...Keep up the good work!

[@marcelamartinez8103]

I watch at least one of your videos randomly before I go to sleep,.

[@GlendaPimentelVergeldedios]

You are awesome!!

[@abrara321]

gd job my teacher . i have a question , you said that adrenaline released when we get scary, what about acetylcholine what causes it to be released ? ?

[@Wolf3fd]

Well the thing I struggle with is that if you use an overdose of Acetylcholine, it will increase the production of adrenalin due to its effect on ggl. neurons via Nicotine-receptors.... so the final effect will be what? It will cause tachycardia. Or?

[@richaisdbest]

Hi...i have a question...dosent hyperpolarisation occur beyond the RMP ?? In the depiction the hyperpolarisation was not shown or i am lacking some concept here..please correct me if i am wrong...on the whole a very nice video!

[@wezzard759]

it’s not specific as you didn’t view by which cns the epinephrine was released and to which receptor did it bound ?

[@Livinglifehigh]

lol nice effect for acetylcholine flaming in haha. good video btw

[@jdgatlin8813]

Is it possible that high acetylcholine levels is the reason for my low back getting crazy tight. I take pre workout. So just wondering

[@petercourt]

Isn't the upward deflection of an action potential in the SAN a result of the inward movement of calcium ions, rather than sodium ions?

[@ardruma]

Where is the plateau phase?

[@sanket713]

hey but why adreline and acetylcholine released in heart

[@VinodSharma-vf5dd]

Q. Acetylcholine effect on heart rate and Blood pressure
A. Increase
B. Decrease

[@marcelamartinez8103]

I wish you were my teacher....

[@ezekiel1690]

Went you heart rate goes 31bpm is
It bad

[@paraSsTo0o0]

it's released for example when your're sleeping!

[@sanket713]

but why adrenaline and acetylcholine comes inheart

[@NMN770]

[@ChristCoordinates]

I think it has to do with the sympathetic and pathetic nervous systems, or with the amount of CO2 in the blood. Google it.
