Life series... Season 2..Life as likened to respiration


Last time on life series, we had a long discussion on how life is linked with movement, I am sure you all enjoyed the inspiring messages from that post. This week, we shall be looking at life as linked or likened with respiration. I will try to keep this post as short as possible.

Firstly, respiration to a layman is breathing in and out or inhaling and exhaling, to a more learned man, it is the taking in of Oxygen (Inhaling) into the body and the removal of Carbon dioxide (Exhaling) from the body into the environment. The truth is that the both of them did very fine, but a bit in-depth study (cellular respiration) informs us that respiration also involves the breakdown of glucose (simple sugar or food molecules) involving Oxygen and water to produce energy (ATP), water and the release of carbon dioxide at the cellular level or cells of every living thing, hence, if you do not take in oxygen, you won’t be able to produce the needed energy for you to move on with your daily activities. Also during blood circulation, oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood move via the heart enabling the proper function of the body, in layman sense, oxygenated blood leaves the heart to the body, and after usage it returns to the heart as deoxygenated blood, hence the circulation continues again. In essence, respiration in living things is very crucial to their survival.

Ikemba and the Cripple....Chapter 3

                              
The sudden appearance of human-like figures in the middle of the river caused a big panic and scattered screams as villagers who had gone to the river to either fetch water or wash their unclean clothes ran for their dare lives. Sensing this, Ojinta called out to them as they ran even further, probably thinking he was a ghost and wanted to kill them. It took the bravery of Oma, one of Ojinta’s daughters to calm the people down as she called out to them saying “this is my father, this is my father, papa, papa, papa, welcome back”, as she ran very excited towards her father. Meanwhile, the three warriors who survived the rescue mission, the Princess and Amara, the lady who they had rescued from being raped, were very surprised to see that they have returned safely to Lorji, infact they gazed at Ojinta strangely, because they never knew he had such powers, unknown to them that Ojinta had collected the charm from the priest they visited before embarking on the rescue mission to Ikanga village. One after the other, the shocked villagers regained their confidence and moved towards the river to observe what would happen when Oma hugs her father, seeing that all went well, they all moved towards Ojinta and his team, touching them and most importantly greeting the princess before they burst into songs of victory.
