The central nervous system regulates heart rate and stroke volume via two sets of nerves: parasympathetic nerves originating in the nucleus ambiguus (NA) that decrease heart rate, and sympathetic nerves originating in the intermediolateral column (IML) of the spinal cord (regulated by neurons from the rostral ventral lateral medulla) that increase heart rate and stroke volume.
