Human Body - Merely An Atom!

Human body is indeed the most fascinating creation. There are many things which constitute to a human body. Firstly, the skeletal system, the connected robust bones give us a proper physical appearance brings in us the essence of stiffness and firmness. We would be damn rigid and inflexible if only muscles did not accompany bones. The soft tissues and glands segregate and form a cluster which is hard to dismantle; this helps us to talk, walk, move, run, and perform actions. To keep this odd couple, that is, the bones and the muscles intact and fit, here comes the role of proper nourishment and daily exercise. There is also the role of thorough blood circulation in the body which has to happen continuously and at a particular rate. Just like the water in the river, which keeps its movements real fast, similarly, the blood in our body runs head to toe without any breaks. There are billions and zillions of cell-units in our body; the blood has to reach every single cell during every period of its constant circulation. If any cell does not function properly or collapses, the blood has to remove it any replace it with a new one gradually. Yet, we are left oblivious of this work which most often happens within us.

The organ which is said to have been holding love within it also has to do a lot of work every day. Yes, I am talking about the ‘heart’. Have you ever wondered how many times the heart beats and how many gallons of blood are pumped every day? The heart beats almost 1,00,800 times and pumps almost 2,000 gallons of blood a day. This mesmerizing action of the organ takes no rest and feels no tiredness. Then the vital role of the bundles of nerves is considered. The main nerve branches out into numerous little nerves; they pass messages which are biologically called nerve or neural impulses. These impulses are passed within fraction of seconds and help our body to properly respond to the stimuli. There is no doubt that the connection and the network in the nervous system works faster than any other mobile networks! With this every human is gifted with the most beautiful ability, the ability to create.

My article would not be complete if I do not include the real striking sensory organs. Firstly, it is the eyes, with which we see the world, capture images and memories in our minds. Secondly, it is the ears, with which we hear, differentiate the sound into pleasant music and harsh noise. Thirdly, it is the nose, with which we smell, smell the wonderful fragrances of multifarious flowers. Fourthly, it is the tongue, with which we taste varied cuisines and relish its taste. Lastly, it is the skin, with which our whole body is covered and it makes us sensitive to touch, pain, cold and heat.

Above all, there is the master of all, the ‘brain’, who basically does multi-tasks at the same time. This master keeps an eye on everything what is happening inside the body and simultaneously stores knowledge, information and memories. The brain is really a stunning organ and I bet no leader can perform all his duties that effectively and efficiently as that like the brain. There are so many humans on this earth, so many activities happening in each of us and tons of atoms working hard to keep all these activities intact and constant; it is like a universe in each of us and we become an atom when compared to our universe!
