Seized engine on '93 Celica GT?

Apparently I made a big mistake, letting the oil run low... The mechanic told me that the engine seized.

First, someone told me that some cars are able to shut down the engine to prevent the engine from seizing. Any chance that this is true, and that my car has this?

Second, if the engine is seized, do I need to replace the entire engine, or just some engine parts?

Thanks.

    engine will not shut down if you are low on oil.once the engine is seize,it cheaper to replace the engine then to pay someone inspect the internal engine damage .17 years of fixing cars,i suggest you replace the engine.
