Why the pulse is beat a vital sign of life?
A pulse beat shows that the heart is still working, pumping blood through the circulatory system.
How does the sympathetic nervous system impact blood pressure regulation?
The sympathetic nervous system can increase blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict and the heart to beat faster. This response is part of the body's fight-or-flight reaction to stress or danger.
What do pacemakers and defibrillators do?
Pacemakers and defibrillators provide electrical impulses to the heart, which can return the heart beat to a normal rhythm.
What is the functionality of a Pacemaker, and are they safe?

How can the heart muscle work with no help from you?
The heart muscle actually beats on its' own. It has two pacemakers. One sets the pace and the second, slower one, is a back up. If you had one heart muscle cell (fiber) in a Petri dish it would beat. If you add a few more, they also will beat but not together. Only if they touch, then they will beat together.
What makes the brain tell the heart to pump blood around the body?
The brain doesn't control the heart. The heart controls itself. If you would take a single heart muscle cell, it will beat on its' own. Add another and they beat together. The heart has special muscle cells called pacemakers. The primary one is called the SA (sinoventricular) node. That sets that pace or rhythm. There is also a slower back up pacemaker called the AV (atrial ventricular) node.
Why heart beat increases during faint?
because the pressure of our blood increases which goes to our heart and so when fainting the heart beat increases
