People knew that if the heart to inflict the wound, the person dies, the soul, in their opinion, leaves the body. Now even a first-class student has an idea about the heart and lungs, and about what kind of work they perform.

What is the human body?
This is billions of cells that differ in structure and shape, properties and values. Groups of cells form tissues. For example, muscle cells - muscle tissue, nerve cells - nerve, bone - bone, epithelial - the cover fabric.

Effect of massage on the skin.
Leather - a mirror of health. Skin color can determine the age. The elastic, smooth, pink skin says about youth and health, flabby, wrinkled and pale - about years lived and disease.
The skin has a complex structure and performs various functions. It is like a barrier between the organism and the environment, protecting it from external influences - cooling, heating, contusions, penetration of microorganisms, etc. It also functions as breathing.
In the inner layer of the skin are feeding her blood vessels, as well as sebaceous and sweat glands, releasing water and harmful to the body. Massage, contributing to the removal of sweat from the body, thereby eliminating a person from "these harmful substances.
In the outer layer of skin - the epidermis - is a large number of sensory nerves, who feel cold, heat, pain and touch. In addition, nerves regulate the lumen of blood vessels, empowering them in the heat and shrinking in the cold.
Under the influence of massage on skin in the form of flakes removed obsolete cells of the outer layer. This helps to improve skin respiration, increased secretory processes of sebaceous and sweat glands.
When excessive fat separation massage promotes its removal from the skin, while dry skin - causes release of fat by mechanical and reflex stimulation of the sebaceous glands.
Sweat glands are involved in thermoregulation. In hot weather they increase perspiration, which leads to cooling of the skin. In the cold sweat glands work almost stopped, the skin becomes dry and loses much less heat. Under the action of massaging the skin vessels to dilate, thus improving blood circulation and nourishment.
