There are six basic life processes that are essential to the human body, and these are: (1) Metabolism, (2) Responsiveness, (3) Movement, (4) Growth, (5) Differentiation, and (6) Reproduction. Metabolism pertains to the overall chemical processes occurring in a body. This process can be classified further; catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism involves the breakdown of complex chemical substances into simpler ones. In contrary, anabolism builds complex chemical substances from smaller components. An example for the metabolic process would be the digestion of large chunks of food into tiny bits; thus, breaking down the nutrients it may contain. The next process is responsiveness, in which it refers to the ability of the body to detect and respond to changes. An example for this process would be the body’s reflex action, triggering the nervous system, just like how humans react when they accidentally hit their ulnar nerve (funny bone). Following this would be movement, wherein it includes the overall body movements, organs, cells, and other related components. An example for this process is the taekwondo sparring in which it enables all organs to move at ones when defending oneself. Subsequently, growth displays the increase in the size and weight of the body. Drinking vitamins and having a regular sleeping pattern enables growth among individuals. Moreover, differentiation displays a cell’s development from a premature one into achieving a specialized state. The whole developmental process beginning with a zygote, turning into an embryo then forming the complex systems of a fetus. Lastly, reproduction builds the formation of new cells, that may also lead to a production of a new individual. In relation to the previous example, the unity of the sperm and egg cell leads to the creation of a new organism (baby).
