The wonders of the human body

The body is composed of a number of complex biological systems that perform certain functions and allow our body to work properly.

These systems are the digestive, endocrine, immune, lymphatic, nervous, muscular, and circulatory systems. So at any given second, there are multiple gears turning in your body that allow you to be alive and in a functional state.

All this is taking place inside our bodies without our conscious awareness. It is only when one of these systems malfunction, we quickly become aware!

There is a prayer that we say, after we have used the bathroom, to thank Hashem for the natural processes that keep our bodies alive: "Who formed man with wisdom, and created within him, many holes and cavities, revealed and known before Your honoured throne, for if one of them would open, or one of them would close, it would be impossible to exist and stand before You, even for one moment."
