Our Body has the ability to heal itself


Headaches, colds, fever and cough.
Let's look furthermore at these countermeasures our body is doing to defend itself.

Homeostasis

Homeostasis came from two words : Homo(body) and stasis(standing still). It is a state where our body can maintained its balance

Situation 1: "The body has a high volume of blood sugar."

In this situation, The brain indirectly will call all organs that have primary roles in lowering the blood sugar. The organs liver, pancreas and kidneys will do the job at hand.

First, The pancreas will secrete insulin to the blood. The insulin will collect all excessive amounts of blood sugar and convert it to glycogen. The glycogen collected will stored to the liver for future use.The excessive glycogen will be send to the kidneys will be expelled out of the body. Finally, The body will restore itself again to balance.

Situation 2: "The body is lacking of blood sugar."

Now in this event the excessive glycogen stored in the liver will be released with the help of the pancreas. The Pancreas will secrete glucagon. The glucagon is a hormone of the pancreas that converts glycogen to blood sugar. The blood sugar will be distributed by the heart to all areas of the body that needs it. Again the body will go back to balance.



Our body can maintain balance. It can also alarm us of an invasion by pathogens such as virus and bacteria etc. that can cause diseases.

Have you ever wondered that all of a sudden that you become ill. In the morning, you feel very good and later in the evening you feel very sick.

If you answered yes, Then you should know that your body is working to defend itself by invaders. When you have a cold (think of it as a blessing because your body isa perfect creation of god.), The Respiratory system will secrete phlegm. The phlegm will trap all incoming invaders. then, the body will expel the phlegm through sneezing or coughing.
