Re: Brain Spilled and Splattered on the Road but Heart Still Beats
Dang!, Who's gonna clean that mess up? And someone please explain how the heart still beats when there is no electrical/brain inputs still going to it? The heart is a muscle, set to a rhythm, but what keeps that rhythm going?

Re: Brain Spilled and Splattered on the Road but Heart Still Beats
From what I understand the heart has a built in pace-maker which supplies the electrical energy needed to trigger heart muscle contraction. My guess is that the heart would continue to beat outside of the body (without a supply of blood) until the lactic acid built up to toxic levels, then it would die. Five to ten minutes at best, I think.
