Indeed, although I believe the main value of the automaticity of the heart isn't about being able to survive brain failure, but about being a real-time system with no dependencies. Unavailability of just ~3 seconds can lead to loss of consciousness. We can afford to stop breathing for a bit if the nervous system is overwhelmed, but the heart can't afford that. |
