Man is a unique creation of God. No other creature has been able to match this creation. An adult body consists of various parts – the head, the neck, the torso, arms, legs, bones, blood, hands and feet. The human body is a combination of various systems - the Circulatory System (heart, blood, vessels), the Respiratory System (nose, trachea, lungs), the Immune System (many types of protein, cells, organs, tissues), the Skeletal System (bones), the Excretory System (lungs, large intestine, kidneys), the Urinary System (bladder, kidneys), the Muscular System (muscles), the Endocrine System (glands), the Digestive System (mouth, stomach, intestines), the Nervous System (brain, spinal cord, nerves) and the Reproductive System (male and female reproductive organs).It is a complex workshop. Where ever we are, of what ever age we are we need to take care of our body and this unique workshop endowed on us by God.
