There is no such tissue, the heart can beat automatically, without an external stimulus, it has several groups of automatic cells that discharge electricity currents that make the muscle cells in the heart beat sinchronically.

Also, this automatic beat can be slowed down or can be made quicker by influences of autonomous nervous system, but remember, it can work by itself. It is called an involuntary muscle.

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.

Does taking a deep breath and holding it affect your heart rate?

No, 'fraid not. Your nerves connect with the brain and the heart structure. So the only time when you heart rate changes is when your brain tells it to. For example: when your heart skips a beat (believe it or not, it can actually happen!). Hope this helped! :)

If your brain stops will your heart stop?

AnswerYes. Your brain controls everything, including the heart, so if the brain stops, then you will forget how to breath.AnswerIf your brain completely stops functions, your heart will stop.However, in many cases the higher functions of the brain fail while the basic housekeeping functions continue to work. In that case you may be in a vegetative state, unable to think or recognize your surroundings, but your brain still tells your heart to beat and your lungs to breath.Comment on my new answerOh yeah, I agree.


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.


Are inner linings of the body composed of nerve cells?

nerve cells are everywhere! for example, you get inched and it hurts. the pain sends signals to your brain. your brain then causes you to react...by saying OUCH!!! When the signals get sent to your brain, your brain tells them how to react...you bbleed, your brain tells the affected area to create a scab.
