Question

Which is more important the heart or the brain. If the brain stops the body shuts down. If the heart stops the body shuts down and eventually the brain will as well. So would doctors need to save the heart or the brain first?

Answer 1

Many people would probably think it's the heart, however, it's the brain! While your heart is a vital organ, the brain (and the nervous system that attaches to the brain) make up the most critical organ system in the human body. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: The heart would be more important cause if the patient was hurt badly; this might cause them to lose new blood cells rather than getting new blood cells without the heart, the patient is dead. (Example) In an ant farm, the owner gives the ants bread every hour but one day the owner went out of town, so now the ants have to starve and end up dying so without the owner they die, just like without the heart the patient dies.
