Your Heart Has Its Own Electricity — It Can Beat Even Outside Your Body

I was watching a movie Sometime ago and they removed a heart for transplant and it was still beating inside the box. I thought it was just movie trick. So I checked small.

It is not trick. Your heart really has its own electricity.

We think brain controls heart to beat. But heart has its own small generator inside called SA node. Some people call it natural pacemaker. It is at the top of your right atrium. That small thing sends electric signal and tells heart to beat — lub dub, lub dub.

That's why even if you remove heart from body, as long as it has oxygen, it will continue beating for some minutes. Because it does not need brain to beat. It has its own light.

Your heart beatts about 100,000 times per day....... No rest. No holiday. It pumps about 7,000 liters of blood every day. All with that small electricity.

The blue vessels in the picture carry blood without oxygen, red ones carry blood with oxygen. And those yellow fat you see with red and blue lines — those are coronary arteries. They feed the heart itself. If they block, that is heart attack.

I found it crazy that inside our chest we have an organ that is doing NEPA work 24 hours without us telling it. You are sleeping, it is beating. You are running, it beats faster. You are scared, it beats fast.

Your heart is not just for love. It is electrical engineer.

Did you know your heart has its own electricity before?
