Not surprisingly, many quantum properties are present in all living and natural systems. The system possesses properties that the parts do not, and properties of the parts can only be understood in the context of the system. The heart is a great example!

If you take a heart in isolation, you see an organ that pumps blood. When you take the heart in context with the rest of the body, you find that the heart communicates with the brain and nervous system, and is affected by your breathing and whether you are standing up or lying down. Many systems in your body are reflected in the pattern of your heartbeat. Can you feel your heart speed up when you inhale and slow down when you exhale?
