The heart can be viewed not just as muscle pump but also as an important checkpoint for a complex network of nervous, endocrine, and immune signals. The heart is able to process neurological signals independently from the brain and to crosstalk with the endocrine and immune systems. The heart communicates with the psyche through the neuro-endocrine-immune system in a highly integrated way, in order to maintain the homeostasis of the whole body with peculiarities specific to males and females.
心脏不仅可以被视为肌肉泵,还可以被视为神经、内分泌和免疫信号复杂网络的一个重要检查点。心脏能够独立于大脑处理神经信号,并与内分泌和免疫系统进行交流。心脏通过神经内分泌免疫系统以高度整合的方式与心理进行交流,以维持男性和女性特有的整个身体的内稳态。
