neurogenic hearts. The myocardial cells need neural input from the cardiac ganglion to be able to beat whereas the myogenic hearts of vertebrates will beat without neural input. The neural input sets the resting heart rate and contractile force of the neurogenic heart. The heart rate of the neurogenic and myogenic hearts is regulated by neurotransmitters. Hearts in vertebrates are excited by epinephrine and serotonin although with varied effects and inhibited by acetylcholine. Invertebrates’ heart rates

Practical 1.1 Introduction: Caffeine belongs to a class of compounds called methylxanthines and can block a receptor on the surface of heart muscle cells for adenosine. In fact‚ it is caffeine’s blockade of the A1 adenosine receptor in the heart that causes the heart to pound after a significant caffeine dose.
