The heart has “pacemaker cells” that make it beat/contract without any nerve input. Look up pacemaker cells.
The ANS speeds up or slows down the heart rate.

Thank to everyone contributing.
I am going to use your concepts for a NDIS appeal at the AAT. (Australia).
The NDIS will not fund a path to a blind client’s clothesline (multiple falls) - “we only find 1 access path to a dwelling, and a clothesline path isn’t access”.
She is also immunocompromised and uses the Sun to sterilise clothes a sheets. “Why doesn’t she use a clothes dryer and a dehumidifier”.
This sub is gold. Thanks.
Edit: fixed typo, and added Australia

Perhaps that’s from the trauma of the gun shot.
Look at a video of the transport or removal of a human heart for a heart transplant. It is beating without any nerve input.
