Bichat examined what happens in sudden death. Bichat describes his experiments on the freshly killed bodies of those guillotined during the French Revolution and demonstrated cardiac excitation by electricity that could occur only when the organ was stimulated by direct contact. He concentrated on the role of the brain, the heart, and the lungs.
