AI-generated explanation. Check against your textbook.
Explanation: Decrease in cardiac output occurs mainly when parasympathetic neural signals to the heart prevail. The vagus nerve slows the heart rate (and reduces contraction strength), lowering cardiac output. In NCERT, the parasympathetic system reduces heart rate and thus CO. Sympathetic nerves increase heart rate and force of contraction, raising CO. Adrenal medullary hormones (adrenaline) also increase heart rate and strength, again increasing CO. The pneumotaxic centre primarily regulates breathing patterns, not directly cardiac output, so it does not cause a decrease in CO by itself. Therefore, option 2 is correct.
🧠 Did You Know? Parasympathetic effects on the heart are mediated by muscarinic receptors that slow heart rate.
💡 NCERT Memory Line: Parasympathetic (vagal) activity decreases heart rate and cardiac output; sympathetic activity increases them.
