Best Answer

The muscles in the heart respond to an electrical stimulus to contract (beat). If there were no nerve tissue, the heart would not beat and a person would cease (or fail) to exist. Failure of the nerve stimuli, if nerve tissue is there (but for whatever reason there is a malfunction of the signal getting to where it needs to be), results in a condition called "Heart Block" and that can necessitate the implantation of a Pacemaker to produce the missing electrical stimulus constantly or intermittently as needed.

What would you think would happen if blood entering the heart mixed with blood leaving the heart?

This does happen -- to babies born with a hole in the part of the heart that divides the right ventricle from the left ventricle. It makes it difficult for them to oxygenate their tissues well and makes it more difficult for them to thrive as other children do. Years ago, doctors would wait several years to fix such defects. I do not know how long they wait now.
