Like in many other spheres, humans have approached the physics of living beings by dividing them into smaller, graspable compounds. By the study of intestines, the dissection of muscles or the performing of autopsies on washed up cadavers, a sense of control is gained, allowing the strange, to be classified and intellectually handled.
