- Beta 1 Activity: ✔️ Related to heart functions, such as increased heart rate and strength of
contraction.
- Beta 2 Activity: ✔️ Pertains to pulmonary function of bronchiolar dilation (lungs).
- Parasympathetic Stimulation: ✔️ Increases digestive tract activity, stimulates saliva and pharyngeal
secretions (atropine or Robinul can counteract stimulation).
- Automaticity of the Heart: ✔️ The heart pumps on its own.
- Four Chambers of the Heart: ✔️ Left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle.
- Blood Flow into the Left Atrium: ✔️ Receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs via the pulmonary
vein.
