Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

D
A sympathetic antagonist would block the effects of the sympathetic nervous system and, as a result, lower the heart rate.
A sympathomimetic results in an increase in the heart rate, because it produces a mimicking of the sympathetic nervous system.
A parasympathetic antagonist blocks the effects of the parasympathetic nervous system, thus in-creasing the heart rate.
A parasympathetic inhibitor would also block the effects of the parasympathetic nervous system, thus increasing the heart rate.
