- The cardioaccelerator center stimulates cardiac function by regulating heart rate and stroke volume via sympathetic stimulation from the cardiac accelerator nerve. The cardioinhibitor center slows cardiac function by decreasing heart rate and stroke volume via parasympathetic stimulation from the vagus nerve.
The cardioaccelerator regions stimulate activity via sympathetic stimulation of the cardioacceleratory nerves, and the cardioinhibitory centers decrease heart activity via parasympathetic stimulation as one component of the vagus nerve, cranial nerve X.

Jul 14, 2005 · The cardioinhibitor and cardioaccelerator centers in the medulla control the heart rate and the force of contraction. These centers are regulated by signals from the carotid sinus as well as from stretch receptors in the heart.
Jun 27, 2023 · I am terribly confused, is the cardiovascular center the same thing as the vasomotor center (and the vasodilator and vasoconstrictor areas the same as the cardioaccelaratory and cardioinhibitory areas) or are they seperate entities? I would appreciate an explanation that clears my doubt and sources for further reading would be appreciated.
Cardioaccelerator and cardioinhibitory areas are components of the paired cardiac centers located in the medulla oblongata of the brain. They innervate the heart via sympathetic cardiac nerves that increase cardiac activity and vagus (parasympathetic) nerves that slow cardiac activity.
The cardioinhibitor center slows cardiac function by decreasing heart rate and stroke volume via parasympathetic stimulation from the vagus nerve. The vasomotor center controls vessel tone or contraction of the smooth muscle in the tunica media.
Key Points. The cardioaccelerator center, the cardioinhibitor center, and the vasomotor center form the cardiovascular center, a cluster of neurons that function independently to regulate blood pressure and flow.

What are cardioinhibitor and cardioaccelerator centers in the medulla?
What is a cardioinhibitor center and a vasomotor center?
The cardioaccelerator regions stimulate activity via sympathetic stimulation of the cardioacceleratory nerves, and the cardioinhibitory centers decrease heart activity via parasympathetic stimulation as one component of the vagus nerve. The ventricles are more richly innervated by sympathetic fibers than parasympathetic fibers.
