I think that was my pulse the first time I ever saw an <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> (which then chased me though the halls of NS_eclipse) way back in 1.0 lol
I just got that as well ^^

Same, I don't think there's any higher.
LOL
Then the funny bit happened. As I was doing that, a blod clot shot out of the heart and across the room and stuck the wall. The girls responses, were, collectively "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!".
Bear in mind the classes average age was roughly 9/10 at the time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yeah, ok... nothing special, then i move my mouse to X out of the screen and the SOB beats all the way up to 1200+ BPM!!
I nearly felt out of my seat, folled by the words:
"OMGWTH?!"
"HOLY CRAP!"
and
"AWSOME!"

[and then i realise that [heart] had to come from someone/something and i X out anyways.]
Exactly what kind of heart is that o_O
I sure as heck know it ain't no human heart, but it looks mundo gross.
*puke*
But at the same time, cool XD
That's just a natural mechanism.
No...wait....how the heck did it beat?! There sure isn't any artificial brain is there?
Maybe it's just a rubber model....that's wet and hasa waterproof motor.
And yes, assuming that the heart is dead, all the heart will do is overflow o_O
How that got that heart to beat, is waaaay beyond me. Could be artificial parts, could be a rubber heart w/ a motor. Could be Photoshop.
They just pass electrical pulses through the heart at regular intervals. You can see the wires...
Of course, the animation they showed was a loop of one heart beat. The heart would still need a blood supply to beat for much longer.
the brain is still telling them to do it, even though you may not realise.

no no no the heart is myogenic and so controls its own "beat" if u will.
i could explain in more detail if u want but i need to find my biology notes.
(oh and this rox <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

i'm not going to argue with that as i'm already out of my depth here, and have no idea what you just said.

The heart has it's own pacemaker. Other bodily functions we don't think about, like the movement of our digestive system, are controlled by (I believe) the medulla oblongata part of the brain. The heart, however, has a specific region that produces the electrical impulses that regulate the heartbeat. So, attach electrical wires to these areas and fire pulses of current and the heart will beat as if it were alive.
Biology for the win.
