Some neurons in the vagus nerve terminate on sinoatrial (pacemaker) cells in the heart. These neurons secrete acetylcholine, which ultimately results in a decreased heart rate. This is an example of neural control.

Impulses from the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system slow down heart rate. The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system does not increase heart rate. The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system does not slow down heart rate. The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system increases heart rate.
