Well as it was stated earlier that the human body has similar features as a country. This means there’s some minute difference. The human body isn’t permanent due to the fact that it is a living and biological entity. It inevitably encounter death and then seize to exist due to decomposition.
- Territory The body itself is a territory encompassing and protecting its citizens within.
- Sovereignty: As a body is given birth to alive and begin to live an extra-uterine life, it becomes an independent and sovereign country, no longer under the internal jurisdiction of its mother country. Obviously, since it is a new country, it needs to be nurtured, guided and get experience from other independent countries primarily from its mother country. Hence, parental care is very necessary.
- Defense: Many aren’t ignorant of the fact that the body poses an internal defense system known as the immune system. It has defense headquarters as the tissues of lymph nodes, defense base as bone marrow, spleen and GIT, and defense academy as the thymus, liver, spleen and bone marrow. Thus, it’s good to boost our immune system by supplying it with fruits and vegetables containing sophisticated ammunition.
- Constitution: As different countries have their various constitutions, so also different bodies have different physiological system. What can be accepted in one’s body, be it internal or external might not be accepted in another body. This is the reason why some people react negatively to some certain things. It’s obvious in allergies. Any organ, cell or tissue against the constitution is subject to destruction by cells of the immune system. The constitution is meant to guide and direct the activities occurring within the body. Homeostatic activities also tends to maintain a normal state and regulate the activities taking place in the body.
- People: Lastly, the people are the cells. They are the rest of the living matter in the body. It’s what constitutes the body as the body is in no existence without the cells.
