Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If brain death is confirmed, why does an individual’s heart continue beating? As long as the heart has oxygen, it can continue to work. The ventilator provides enough oxygen to keep the heart beating for several hours. Without this artificial help, the heart would stop beating.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are 2 phases to your heart’s pumping cycle: systole – this is when your heart contracts, pushing blood out of the chambers. diastole – this is the period between contractions when the muscle of your heart (myocardium) relaxes and the chambers fill with blood.
