Comments on: Brain – The Most Important Organ http://rk.md/2009/brain-most-important-organ/ -- welcome to the life of a tech-savvy medical student -- Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:09:07 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nissar http://rk.md/2009/brain-most-important-organ/#comment-9747 Nissar Thu, 14 Jan 2010 07:37:01 +0000 http://rk.md/?p=1693#comment-9747 Completely agree with u on this Rishi...the brain dominates EVERY other organ by a landslide. If you just think about how human physiology works and is regulated, the nervous system has its "hands" in every other organ in the body. Being a bio major kind of gives me the perspective of looking at this from the "species" perspective, but the only reason humans have come to dominate the earth is because we have the most advanced nervous system in the known history of the world. Think about it, we're not that strong (physically), we don't have the best vision, hearing, etc. All we got is smarts...

My rationale is very simple - the brain can live without the heart (bypass machine, heart transplant if need be, etc). Let's see the heart's automaticity regulate itself without autonomic signaling. :-) Oh come on.

Without it, overqualified snipers would not be vying for a field that a 7th grader could do. Undoubtedly, the skin is the body’s most important organ.

Heart has automaticity. Brain’s survival depends on function of heart to pump oxygen.

Heart has automaticity.
