To add, the growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, is the area of growing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents.

The autonomic nervous system can change the rate of the heart by: Group of answer choices beta1 adrenergic receptor activation.

Answer:

The correct answer is: β1 adrenergic receptor activation. Increased in cAMP lead to increased amounts of Na influx (though if channels) and calcium influx of pacemaker cells. This increases the frequency of APs of the pacemaker and increases the rate of contraction.

Explanation:

cAMP generated in response to β1 adrenergic receptors,results in excitation contraction coupling by initiating PKA and causing phosphorylation of L type Ca2+ channels and ryanodine receptors. This increases the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ ions in atrial cells, ventricular cells and AV pacemaker cells. This increase in firing rate. As a result rate of contraction increases.
