Yes, the heart has its own electrical pulse that allows it to beat around 50 beats per minute, however, the brain can further control the pulse to fluctuate according to what is needed.

Can you have a pulse without a heart beat?

The Heart can continue to beat independently from the brain. There have been cases where a subject has been in a deep coma, showing no signs of electrical brain activity, yet the heart has continued to function normally. New research now suggest that the heart has its own brain like qualities and can receive, process and remember information from external stimuli, passing this information to the brain.

Is the brain more important than the heart?

Both the brain and the heart are essential organs for human survival, but they each serve different functions. The brain is responsible for processing information and controlling bodily functions, while the heart pumps blood and oxygen throughout the body. Both are equally important in maintaining overall health and functioning.


Does your heart send information to your brain?

Not very much. It tells the brain nothing about the blood, such as oxygen state, or how fast it is beating. However, pain can be transmitted to the brain from the heart when the heart doesn't, for example, have enough oxygen. This information is quite non-specific, though, explaining why pain from the heart in a heart attack can appear to come from the arm or jaw.

What is more important Heart or Brian?

Both are very important.DETAILS-THE HEART: Some would say the heart is more important because it pumps blood to all parts of the body, including the brain. Without the blood in the brain, the brain would not be able to control involuntary activities such as heart beat. Basically, the brain needs the heart to pump blood to it.THE BRAIN:There is one part of the brain that controls involuntary activities such as heart beat. (The name of that part is the medulla) Without the medulla, the heart would never be able to pump blood to other parts of the body. Even though, you still need the heart to pump blood to the brain to let it function and control.OPINION-In my opinion truly, I think the heart is the most important because of the latest technology, machines are able to act like medullas and control heart beating. But, in order to live a wonderful life, both organs the heart & the brain are needed. :) DEFINITIONS-Involuntary activities- actions that the body cannot control, it just happens. (examples: breathing, digesting, heart beat.)Medulla- a part of the brain that connects the spinal cord to the brain. It controls involuntary activities.(located on the bottom of the brain and is the smallest part of the brain.)
