Description
The human body is an amazing and complex machine. It is made up of trillions and trillions of cells, which form the blood, bones and organs that allow you to experience and enjoy the world around you. Even when the body is harmed by accident, illness or neglect, it has clever ways of fixing itself. Sometimes, however, the body needs to be gross to make it all better.
