Go through the following statements (i) Vagus nerve decreases the rate of impulse formation from the SA node and its conduction (ii) As the human heart is myogenic in nature, the rate of formation and conduction of cariac impulse cannot be changed by the action of nerves (iii) The end of T-wave in ECG marks the end of systole.
