The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about what causes the strength of heart muscle contraction and an increase in heart rate. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options given include: - Option 1: Sympathetic Nerves and Adrenaline - Option 2: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nerves - Option 3: Parasympathetic Nerves and Apinephrine - Option 4: Parasympathetic Nerves and Acetylcholine 3. **Analyzing Option 1**: - The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. - It releases neurotransmitters that increase heart rate and the strength of heart contractions. - Adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) is released during stress, which further enhances heart function. 4. **Analyzing Option 2**: - This option mentions both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. - While sympathetic nerves increase heart rate, parasympathetic nerves generally decrease heart rate. - Therefore, this option is not correct. 5. **Analyzing Option 3**: - This option mentions parasympathetic nerves and apinephrine (another name for adrenaline). - The parasympathetic system does not stimulate the heart; it has the opposite effect. - Thus, this option is incorrect. 6. **Analyzing Option 4**: - This option mentions parasympathetic nerves and acetylcholine. - Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that decreases heart rate when released by the parasympathetic nervous system. - Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 7. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 1: Sympathetic Nerves and Adrenaline**, as they both work to increase the strength of heart muscle contractions and the heart rate.
