Still doesn't answer the question completely though. Are there other nerves that are involved with breathing and somehow originate lower? Do we know for sure that an injury beyond C5/C6 would NOT affect breathing?

Or is it only nerves from C5 and above that affect breathing?

The fact that there is a mnemonic for this is actually a bit concerning. Is it that common?

The heart creates it's own electrical pulses.

The heart will still beat when disconnected from the body.

You are speaking confidently about something you don't thoroughly understand

the heart is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is a subset of the hypothalamus and medulla oblongata, ie (brain). This is not really a debate, your completely wrong, and I am 100 percent right.

The nervous system can control the heart, but the heart isn't dependent on input from the nervous system to beat. Without any input from the nervous system, the heart will continue to beat on its own, it will just lose the vast majority of its ability to adjust based on the body's needs.
