Introduction
The human body can be defined as the physical structure of the human organisms. The human body is said to be composed of various components that include the following, two arms, one head, torso, neck and two legs. It is through these physical body components that make us to function. The human body is said to undergo various strategies before it can be fully formed, For example people are made who they are by genes. It is these genes which are said to make us different from each other in the many societies we come from. So before one becomes completely an adult, this body consists of close to 100 trillion cells and all these different functions are said to perform different roles.
The body is also made of many organs which are also said to perform various functions. A good example is the respiratory system and the digestive system. For example the respiratory system is one of the body organs with a specialized function in our bodies. Biologists argue that respiratory system helps in supplying our bodies with blood. This blood is said to carry oxygen which is needed most in our bodies. The respiratory system does this with the help of the breathing system.
When people breathe, we inhale oxygen and carbon dioxide whereby oxygen is taken in the blood while carbon dioxide is breathed out as a waste. So in this case, if the bodies are affected, it means that then the whole body will also be affected. (Bogdan, 2000).
Our bodies are said to be quite unique due to the different roles which are played by our bodies. So, when our bodies are infected by a disease, then it means that our bodies will not be in a position to function well as it is supposed to function. Illnesses are said to make us understand more about our bodies. Our bodies are composed of various immune systems which are supposed to play a vital role in our bodies. This system is quite responsible for fighting off bacteria’s in our bodies and various body infections. It is the role of the immune system which helps in protecting our bodies from the various bacteria’s, viruses plus other harmful organisms that cause diseases in our bodies.
It is during this time that we are in a position to reflect back on our bodies and the various functions which our bodies function. For example, when the body system immune system is not working you find that our bodies are not in a position to function well. This is because of the various functions the immune system plays in our bodies. Our bodies’ immune system works to battle off diseases as fast as they could. The immune system has blood cells.
It is these blood cells which help to fight back these diseases. So when our bodies are infected by a disease, it means that the immune system is not in a position to function well. As a result, our bodies eventually become weak and not able to function well like a healthy person. It is also during this time when we try to reflect back about our bodies are quite unique in the various roles they play. (Bogdan, 2000).
When illness enters in our own body or even that of another say ache, funny feeling, or movement causes us pain or anxiety. These are examples of various body illnesses. Say for example when one has a headache, one is in a position to feel uncomfortable, dizziness and sometimes unconscious. This is because our bodies are made in a way when one part of the body has been interfered with; you find that the whole functioning of our bodies stops.
So, it is during this time when we recognize that our bodies are quite important and necessary action needs to be taken say visiting a doctor unlike other living things say animals. So in this case, the various roles which are played by our bodies makes us uniquely human as when compared with other living things. We are in a position to take care of our bodies by going in to hospitals since when someone is sick, he/she is not in a position to function well. We are unique and also we are more than the multitude of the chemicals substances that are said to make up our physical bodies. We are alive, we feel, act, sense and also think and hence we can be termed as quite unique beings.
When our bodies are unwell, we need even more than the chemical interventions which are the various medicines taken when somebody is ill. We further need more strategies which are supposed to restore back our normal health for the body to start functioning well as usual. So, it is during this time that we need medicines which are aligned to our various body conditions, we also need enough rests and also tender loving care so that our bodies can get humble time to recover from that particular sickness. When our bodies are healthy, our bodies naturally work in order to maintain balance and also to heal itself. So in this case, our inherent tendency to the self heals needs to be highly recognized and also supported when the body is exposed to illness. (Bogdan, 2000).
So it is during this time that we recognize illnesses as a good opportunity for us all. It is during this time that we are reminded that we should take good care of our bodies. We are reminded to take good care of ourselves and also to live in a more balanced way.Illneses can also make us to develop other parts of ourselves. Worked with our illness is said to begin a healing crisis that can lead to a positive change and finally a new direction. (Hamilton, 2006).
Personally I tend to think that there is no clear distinction between the body and the mind. These two things are said to work hand in hand. None is said to exist without the other. This is because a mind can not exist without the body and the body can not exist without the mind. Although this point can be debatable, many argue that there is no clear distinction between the two. They are said to function together. A good example is that our minds are made of sensory organs which are said to dictate what the rest of the body has to do.
For example raising ones hand in order to ask a question in class? How will this body sense organs cause sensation to the sensory organs in the mind if the two were quite different. It means that there will be no connection between the two and the various body functions will not be in a position to function since the sensory organs are said to dictate the body what to do. (Hamilton, 2006).
So, in this case, we found that the body is united with the mind in order to make human beings. None is said to exists without the other since there roles are said to go together.” We are neutral beings”. “Our brains are said to take their inputs from the rest of our bodies, what our bodies are said to be and how they are said to function in the world thus structures the very concepts we can use to think, we can not just think anything only what our embodied brains are said to permit”. So the mind is said to be one of the roles our bodies’ play which makes us uniquely human. It is by the role of the mind that our bodies are in a position to function well. Human beings are endowed with minds to think unlike other living creatures say animals. So, it is the role of the mind that is said to make human beings quite unique and important. (Hamilton, 2006).
Conclusion
Human beings are said to be unique due to the various roles which are played by our bodies. Our bodies are said to perform various functions. So, incase our bodies are exposed to threats or even diseases, it means that we are not able to function well. So it is during this time that we are reminded of our bodies. So, we are supposed to take good case of our bodies since we are unique. It only happens when these bodies are exposed to the various illnesses so it’s said to be a good time to reflect back on our bodies and try to treat them well.
