The video explains the innervation of the heart by both sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Sympathetic innervation increases heart rate and contraction force, originating from T1-T4 spinal levels. Parasympathetic innervation, via the vagus nerve from the medulla, decreases heart rate and contraction. The heart's conduction system, including the SA and AV nodes, coordinates muscle contraction. Visceral sensory neurons parallel these systems, mediating reflexes and pain perception.
