Human Body Anatomy

According to science the human body appeared on earth more than 5 million years ago. It is the greatest wonder. It is intriguing to find out which machine of present machine age is not placed in our body by creator. All these delicate but strong machines can work non-stop even for 100 years in unbelievable harmony. Moreover this human body is capable of curing any disease. Acupressure helps the body in this process of cure and also to maintain all organs and endocrine glands in a proper working order – so that we get perfect health and the possibility of any disease is greatly reduced.

We can compare our body with the most modern, mobile airconditioned factory. Its building has a cement concrete structure and is built on pillars – the legs which give it movement also. Its first floor , which is up to diaphragm, accommodates the nutrition producing plant , filteration plant and even sewage plant to throw out wastage – urine and stools . Surprisingly, it has a unique reproduction plant. On the second floor of this human body there is a non-stop pump ( Heart ) and also air controllers( Lungs ). The upper top floor is dome shaped and it accommodates the atomic reactor, super-computer and telephone exchange ( Brain ) which has miles- long a fastest communication system. And surprisingly, all the different plants work automatically and in co-ordination. This human factory has following inbuilt systems in it :

System	Major Organs, Component tissues or cells	Functions
1. Skeletal	Body bones and cartilage joints.	Support protection, give form and shape to the body; act as levers for movement
2. Muscular	Body muscles attached to skeleton	Skilled and gross body movement.
3. Nervous	Brain, spinal cord, al peripheral nerves and organs of sensation.	Appreciation of environment, co-ordination and direction of activities of body organs.
4. Integumentary	Skin and appendages	Protection against invasion from outside, dehydration , injury and temperature regulation.
5. Digestive	Mouth, mouth cavity, stomach intestines, liver, pancreas and salivary glands	Ingestion, digestion , absorption of nutrients
6. Respiratory	Nose, lungs	Take in oxygen expel carbon dioxide
