A group of students were given the task of comparing the human body functions to a city. The students were stuck on how to fit the different
types of roads into the system. Some roads like highways are fast and usually busy while other side roads sometimes have less traffic but you
have to travel slower. One student suggested that the highways should represent the blood stream that hormones are carried in by the
endocrine system since they are fast pathways. She also suggested the side roads should represent the paths neurons release neurotransmitter
molecules on because they would travel slow. Should the group use this student's suggestions to represent the different road types?

Comparing human body functions with a city is described below.

Explanation:

Your body consists of multiple highly organized systems, working in split second harmony, more complex than any airport or city.

1.Let’s take inventory of your body. It is highly organized with multiple systems, all working in harmony, always with split second timing to accomplish so many simultaneous tasks that criss cross each other.We could compare our bodily functions to any complex system like the worldwide mail delivery systems or a metropolis.

2.There are 457 cities in the world with 1,000,000+ population, 1,063 with 500,000+ and 2,869 with 150,000+ according to the World Atlas. Think about the incredible infrastructure to run each of them including Tokyo, the largest, with 37 million people:

3.Transport: Roads, transit systems, railways, canals, bicycles, ferries…

Energy: Electricity network, gas pipelines, petrol distribution, coal, heating…

Water: Drinking, sewage collection, rain drainage, irrigation, flood control, snow removal, coast management…

Communications: Postal service, Telephone, Mobile phone, TV-radio, cable, internet…

Waste disposal: Garbage, recycling, landfills, incinerators, hazardous waste…

4.Government: Legislation and law enforcement, emergency and security services…

Economy: Financial, banking, manufacturing, product delivery…

Social: Health care, hospitals, schools, welfare, unemployment…

Cultural: Museums, libraries, sports, concerts, attractions…

5.Our body is in a very similar situation.

Here’s a list of Body systems:

Skeletal system: Bones, joints…

Muscular system

Endocrine system: Thyroid, hypothalamus… emits hormones, issuing orders…

Cardio vascular system: Heart, arteries, veins…

Lymphatic system: Lymph vessels, tonsils, spleen, waste drainage…

Respiratory system: Lungs, trachea, nose…

Digestive system: Mouth, salivary glands, stomach, intestines, rectum…

Urinary system: Kidneys, bladder…

Reproductive system: male genitalia, female organs…

We can add the ‘governing systems’:

Nervous system: Brain, spinal cord, nerves…

Cognitive system: Mind, whether a part of the brain or not, this works with our emotions and reasoning powers.

6.This is just a ‘list’ of systems. We’ll stop and tour them to grasp some of the intricate details. But first we’ve taken an overall approach.

7.When our bodies function properly, they are the embodiment of peace and prosperity.

minerals contribute to our overall health because they your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. our bodies use minerals to us function throughout the day.tromhey us build strong bones, so we can do more things in life. with certain minerals, they can you maintain a normal heartbeat!

though, as as minerals are for us, they can also be very dangerous if one were to consume too many. if you were to take too much minerals, or even vitamins, you could experience nausea and diarrhea. all trace minerals can be very toxxic at high levels of consumption. taking too much of some minerals will result in hair loss! but this goes with almost everything in life, taking too much of something that is good, will eventually be bad for you.

my intake in minerals was normal. there really is no need to improve, i am healthy, and i am experiencing no nausea or diarrhea. i am as healthy as a bee. ☺ (sorry that i cannot you with the mineral intake)

what i have learned so far is that taking too much something can be very bad for you. taking too many minerals or vitamins, or anything healthy in general, can result in nausea and diarrhea, as well as hair loss. it would be a good idea to track what you put into your body, good or bad.

no. i had a handful this morning
