Think about your bones

Have you thought about the masterpiece that is the bones of the body? They reflect the creator's own design and work. One of the best biotechnologists in the world, Dr. John Lenihan, recently said about the requirements of the human body's bones:

The bones, which are the basic components of the skeleton, must be stiff, but not very stiff, because it is better to give up to some extent under stress than to break. There are two main types of forces that can act on a bone or any structural material: compression and tension. Carry a heavy suitcase so that the arm legs are tightened. Go down the stairs and your legs are compressed. ""

But what about your legs? Do you meet the requirements? Dr. Lenihan continued:

“Some materials, such as stone, are very compressed but with a little tension. Wood, on the other hand, has a lot of tension, but little compression, especially when the force is applied in the direction of the grain. Obviously, it is possible to find materials such as steel that are quite resistant to both compression and traction, but the specifications for bones are more demanding because it must be very light; The approximately two hundred bones in the skeleton weigh only about 20 pounds in total. The combination of lightness and strength is achieved in the skeleton through methods that engineers are just beginning to appreciate and emulate.

That's all there is to your bones. Its exclusive design and features can be appreciated much more. Dr Lenihan added: “Another important requirement for bones is that they function properly as they grow. When a pair of shoes is too small for us, we throw them away and buy another. However, the foot in the legs does not stop growing for eighteen or twenty years and during that time they do their normal work.

No that was all. “Third, a bone must heal itself. If a crankshaft breaks, we replace it and install a new one. But when a bone breaks, we hope it heals and looks like new after a while. In the end, the legs must be able to articulate, that is, adapt freely to each other, so that power and strength can be transferred. The joints where the legs meet must be self-lubricating. ""

After describing the specifications required for our internal structural system, Dr. Lenihan: “Materials that meet this difficult specification are manufactured in a way that no engineer, chemist or materials scientist would ever have invented. But God did it. He gave us bones.
