Very Busy Body

of an ‘Idle’ Man

Dr. Phillip Bishop

A professor of exercise physiology at the University of Alabama, Bishop served as a visiting scientist in the NASA Exercise Countermeasures Program at Johnson Space Center, Houston. He describes in his essay “Evidence of God in Human Phy­siology: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made” this wonderful or­chestration, which we can call body syner­gy, which is estab­lished at conception when the mother’s ovum, with only half of the mother’s DNA, is penetrated and fertilized by a sperm cell car­ry­ing only half of the father’s DNA. The two halves are moved to join up into a single cell, and a new person emerges in that physical merger. Who or what does the orchestrating, the moving of the two half-seeds to join up, the force that composes a human body, is better discussed in another article. What we know is that when this composer leaves, the body decomposes. The whole time between conception and that moment of se­paration, we can only view in awe what we have so far learned of bio-synergy. Here are excerpts culled from Bishop’s very informative piece

WHAT ARE YOU doing right now? If your first answer was ‘nothing,’ you are badly mistaken. Right now while you sit quietly, a myriad of wonderful events are taking place necessary for your survival.

.

Right now your heart is beating. If you're in average physical condition, it beats bet­ween 60 and 70 times per minute, 93,000 times per day, 655,000 times per week, 34 million times per year, and 2.4 billion beats in the average lifetime. What's so amazing is that, most of the time, it fuels itself, paces itself, repairs it­self, and alters itself in res­ponse to lifestyle changes, with no conscious effort on your part.

.

Your eyes, your ears, your heart, each of these together with its intricate function should inspire awe. The heart of man, from a functional viewpoint is a miracle of per­formance. Through a complex nervous and hormonal feed­back regulation system, the heart and circulatory system maintain the exactly correct rate and output to supply the correct blood flow for both the marathoner and the couch po­tato. The parts of you that are functioning at any particular.time.receive a share of blood in proportion to their need, and those that are resting quietly receive their carefully metered due. ….

.

In addition to your heart, your liver is detoxifying your blood, your brain is stor­ing away information, cells are being formed and cells destroyed, energy is .being used. and. produced, and many other tasks vital to life and function all carry on in a wonderful, harmonious way.

.

Your nervou.s system, too, is marvelously complex. It has the ability to communicate the feel of pain resulting from intense pressure, yet adapts appropriately to the pressure of sitting or standing, without distracting neural traffic. A ner­vous system just like yours precisely controls the muscles of the concert pianist playing Chopin, the baseball slugger making contact with 98 mph fastball, and the gymnast per­forming a triple somersault to a precise landing. Your red blood cells, which ‘incidentally’ happen to be the ideal shape for trans­porting oxygen, are manufac­tured and destroyed at an in­credible rate. Approximately 10 million red blood cells are made every hour, and an equal number destroyed.

.

If either supply or des­truction becomes out of syn­chrony by as little as 1%, be­fore long, your life ends due to anemia, or polycythemia, your blood gets so thin that oxygen trans­port is insufficient or it gets so thick that it can no longer circulate.

.

Blood clot­ting is similarly complex re­quiring coordinated function of at least 11 chemical factors.

.

Should blood clot too rea­dily or should clots which are formed fail to dissolve, you die. Should it clot too slowly, again the result is death.

=========

if either supply or destruction of red blood cells

gets out of synch by even one percent, you die…

. .=========

.

Our body contains hundreds of com­plex feedback loops whose precision and reliability are vi­tal to life.

Even the most tal­ented de­sign engineer would be reluc­tant to undertake such a com­plicated project.

.

Too, the margin for error isn't very great. Without know­ing it, we tread a very narrow path where the smallest error pro­duces death.

.

Fortunately, the vast maj­ority of the time, we are not penalized for our ignorance.”
