What else can I help you with?
Why would you die if you didnt have the brain?
Your brain controls your body it tells you and your body parts to do ,and when to do things such as your heart, it tells your heart when to beat and without your brain it wouldn't tell your heart when to beat so u would die.
Can your heart beat without getting information from the brain?
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.
How does the brain tell the heart to pump?
What will the brain tell your heart to do?Your brain will tell your heart to beat thereby allowing you to breath and live.
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.)
Does the heart beat without oxygen?
A heart will beat for a little while until your brain shuts down.
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.
Does the brain give order the heart to beat?
Yes, the brain controls everything about you.
What is the control of the heart beat by the autonomous system?
the brain
Which part of your brain controls involuntary activities such as breathing and heart beat?
Brain stem.
What is myogenic heart?
So the word "myogenic" refers to a type of cell, a myocyte, that is able to contract by itself, without any nerve stimulation (aka signals from the brain). So if someone refers to a myogenic heart, that person just means that the heart is able to beat on its own, without you willing it to beat. The myocytes within the heart regulate the heart's contractions instead of your brain doing it.
Would your heart still beat if your head was cut off?
your brain controls your heart, so no
Could you're body work without out a brain?
Your heart is able to beat on its own at around 50 beats per minute, because of the electrical impulses which are generated by the heart muscle. But without a brain you would not be able to live. The brain stem uses the autonomic nerves to control heart rate, and without those the heart rate would not be able to beat as fast as it needs to, to be able to survive. Some infants are born with anencephaly (where most of the brain is missing) but if the infant with anencephaly is born alive, the brain stem is present. Such infants usually die within hours or days of birth. People can be 'brain dead' but their heart is functioning because they're connected to life support, and they have brain stem function (which controls heart rate). In these cases a patient can be considered 'brain dead' because all higher functions of the brain have ceased, and often even with support present the body will cease to function within hours or days.
