The body just flat out amazes me.

How the body has adapted to child birth.
How soft spots of a fetus work.
How bones grow.
How certain cells attack stuff coming in your body. How cells go through mitosis and apoptosis.

Maybe its just me, but this shit is fascinating.

Does the body and the stuff it does naturally just amaze you? Or is it, "hmm.. ok?"

Ah, the beauty of intelligent design.
Oh god not another one... But still.
The body is pretty fuckin amazing due to what it does and it's capabilities...

I study medicine and it amazes me every day.

I've poked around (half) a dissected human head and rooted around in some torsoes. Not only is the textbook science stuff almost unbelievable in its complexity, but to see how it all works out as organs in a body is just unreal.

It is indeed pretty amazing. I'm fascinated by how everything works.

The body is amazing. A fact I find interesting is the regeneration of the liver to full functionality after a living donor liver transplant. From even 25% left, it can regenerate and be fully capable.

No, it is amazing. I just don't really reflect on it...

What I find amazing is how strong it is. Have you ever seen someone fall and hit their had SO HARD, you'd think it would have killed them on the spot, next thing you know they're up walking? I think that's amazing. I know that's kind of different, but still...


Yes, the skull is pretty strong for its weight.  Thats pretty neat.

alastrxxna Posted at 2:55 pm on Oct. 10, 2008
Yeah I feel the same way.
When we go over cell structure I think it's amazing how we have all these tiny tiny tiny little things inside of us keeping us alive.
