I see what you're saying in that different parts of the body are equally important, but the analogy is unsound, because not all of these entities are part of the same body (the universe or the multi-verse).
There is "creation" - TOAA, PF and LT can all exist independently of anything else....they just don't have anything to do. The rest of the multiverse could end, and they would all still exist.
*note, there is some ambiguity over whether LT is a multiversal being considering he was taken down by Heart of the UNIVERSE. It could be possible that there's a Multi-LT.
There's the "multiverse" - again, TOAA, LT and PF all exist independently of that.
There's the "universe" - Multi-Eternity also exists independently of the universe. If a universe is destroyed, Multi-Eternity endures.
So the conclusion is that while it's true that each of these entities play equally important roles in sustaining LIFE, they are not co-dependent the way the heart, lungs, brain, etc. are.
