That’s it.

    If the horse heart fails, the human heart might just be strong enough to keep the rest of the body alive as long as you don’t move much. Probably not a long term solution, but it’s better than nothing.

      I am unsure whether centaurs have a joined or separate circulatory systems. Worst case - they’re separate for horse & human body. But if they’re joined, then I think a centaur may survive on 1 heart, as you’ve said.

          Good lord, how big is that football if the picture on the right is supposed to be the size of a fist??

          I assume they don’t mean an American football, but still. Seems like on the right is a child’s heart.

        Imagine a wounded centaur with the horse part dead and the human part just writhing on the ground fully alive. Morbidly hilarious that image is

          Yeah… honestly, it depends on how they’re built. Because it might work on one of interpretation of the centaur’s internal biology, but not on another. Still funny though.

        Well, I figured that a platypus doesn’t have a separate system for the duck part and another one for the beaver part.
