If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all bodily functions, then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down through the back and contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part.
When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body, the brain tells the body how to react. For example, if you accidentally touch a hot stove, the nerves in your skin shoot a message of pain to your brain. The brain then sends a message back telling the muscles in your hand to pull away. Luckily, this neurological relay race takes a lot less time than it just took to read about it.
Considering everything it does, the human brain is incredibly compact, weighing just 3 pounds. Its many folds and grooves, though, provide it with the additional surface area necessary for storing all of the body's important information.
The spinal cord, on the other hand, is a long bundle of nerve tissue about 18 inches long and ¾ inch thick. It extends from the lower part of the brain down through spine. Along the way, various nerves branch out to the entire body. These are called the peripheral nervous system.
Both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by bone: the brain by the bones of the skull, and the spinal cord by a set of ring-shaped bones called vertebrae. They're both cushioned by layers of membranes called meninges as well as a special fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps protect the nerve tissue, keep it healthy, and remove waste products.
The basic functioning of the nervous system depends a lot on tiny cells called neurons. The brain has billions of them, and they have many specialized jobs. For example, sensory neurons take information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain and back to the rest of the body.
All neurons, however, relay information to each other through a complex electrochemical process, making connections that affect the way we think, learn, move, and behave.
Intelligence, learning, and memory. At birth, the nervous system contains all the neurons you will ever have, but many of them are not connected to each other. As you grow and learn, messages travel from one neuron to another over and over, creating connections, or pathways, in the brain. It's why driving seemed to take so much concentration when you first learned but now is second nature: The pathway became established.
In young children, the brain is highly adaptable; in fact, when one part of a young child's brain is injured, another part can often learn to take over some of the lost function. But as we age, the brain has to work harder to make new neural pathways, making it more difficult to master new tasks or change established behavior patterns. That's why many scientists believe it's important to keep challenging your brain to learn new things and make new connections— it helps keeps the brain active over the course of a lifetime.
Memory is another complex function of the brain. The things we've done, learned, and seen are first processed in the cortex, and then, if we sense that this information is important enough to remember permanently, it's passed inward to other regions of the brain (such as the hippocampus and amygdala) for long-term storage and retrieval. As these messages travel through the brain, they too create pathways that serve as the basis of our memory.
Movement. Different parts of the cerebrum are responsible for moving different body parts. The left side of the brain controls the movements of the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls the movements of the left side of the body. When you press the accelerator with your right foot, for example, it's the left side of your brain that sends the message allowing you to do it.
Basic body functions. A part of the peripheral nervous system called the autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling many of the body processes we almost never need to think about, like breathing, digestion, sweating, and shivering. The autonomic nervous system has two parts: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems.
The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for sudden stress, like if you see a robbery taking place. When something frightening happens, the sympathetic nervous system makes the heart beat faster so that it sends blood more quickly to the different body parts that might need it. It also causes the adrenal glands at the top of the kidneys to release adrenaline, a hormone that helps give extra power to the muscles for a quick getaway. This process is known as the body's "fight or flight" response.
The parasympathetic nervous system does the exact opposite: It prepares the body for rest. It also helps the digestive tract move along so our bodies can efficiently take in nutrients from the food we eat.
The senses. Your spouse may be a sight for sore eyes at the end of a long day — but without the brain, you wouldn't even recognize him or her. Pepperoni pizza sure is delicious — but without the brain, your taste buds wouldn't be able to tell if you were eating pizza or the box it came in. None of your senses would be useful without the processing that occurs in the brain.
- Sight. Sight probably tells us more about the world than any other sense. Light entering the eye forms an upside-down image on the retina. The retina transforms the light into nerve signals for the brain. The brain then turns the image right-side up and tells us what we are seeing.
- Hearing. Every sound we hear is the result of sound waves entering our ears and causing our eardrums to vibrate. These vibrations are then transferred along the tiny bones of the middle ear and converted into nerve signals. The cortex then processes these signals, telling us what we are hearing.
- Taste. The tongue contains small groups of sensory cells called taste buds that react to chemicals in foods. Taste buds react to sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Messages are sent from the taste buds to the areas in the cortex responsible for processing taste.
- Smell. Olfactory cells in the mucous membranes lining each nostril react to chemicals we breathe in and send messages along specific nerves to the brain— which, according to experts, can distinguish between more than 10,000 different smells. With that kind of sensitivity, it's no wonder research suggests that smells are very closely linked to our memories.
- Touch. The skin contains more than 4 million sensory receptors — mostly concentrated in the fingers, tongue, and lips — that gather information related to touch, pressure, temperature, and pain and send it to the brain for processing and reaction.

Blood circulates through a network of vessels throughout the body to provide individual cells with oxygen and nutrients and helps dispose of metabolic wastes. The heart pumps the blood around the blood vessels. Blood is made up of about 45% solids (cells) and 55% fluids (plasma). The plasma is largely water, containing proteins, nutrients, hormones, antibodies, and dissolved waste products.
Functions of blood and circulation:
- Circulates OXYGEN and removes Carbon Dioxide.
- Provides cells with NUTRIENTS.
- Removes the waste products of metabolism to the excretory organs for disposal.
- Protects the body against disease and infection.
- Clotting stops bleeding after injury .
- Transports HORMONES to target cells and organs.
- Helps regulate body temperature.
Blood
General types of blood cells: (each has many different sub-types)
ERYTHROCYTES (red cells) are small red disk shaped cells. They contain HAEMOGLOBIN, which combines with oxygen in the lungs and is then transported to the body's cells. The haemoglobin then returns carbon dioxide waste to the lungs. Erythrocytes are formed in the bone marrow in the knobby ends of bones.
LEUKOCYTES (white cells) help the body fight bacteria and infection. When a tissue is damaged or has an infection the number of leukocytes increases. Leukocytes are formed in the small ends of bones. Leukocytes can be classed as granular or non granular. There are three types of granular leukocytes (eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils), and three types of non-granular (monocytes, T-cell lymphocytes, and B-cell lymphocytes). See also the lymphatic system.
THROMBOCYTES (platelets) aid the formation of blood CLOTS by releasing various protein substances. When the body is injured thrombocytes disintegrate and cause a chemical reaction with the proteins found in plasma, which eventually create a thread like substance called FIBRIN. The fibrin then "catches" other blood cells which form the clot, preventing further loss of blood and forms the basis of healing.
Blood vessels
ARTERIES carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. They are thick hollow tubes which are highly ELASTIC which allows them to DILATE (widen) and constrict (narrow) as blood is forced down them by the heart. Arteries branch and re-branch, becoming smaller until they become small ARTERIOLES which are even more elastic. Arterioles feed oxygenated blood to the capillaries. The AORTA is the largest artery in the body, taking blood from the heart, branching into other arteries that send oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
CAPILLARIES distribute the nutrients and oxygen to the body's tissues and remove deoxygenated blood and waste. They are extremely thin, the walls are only one cell thick and connect the arterioles with the venules (very small veins).
VENULES (very small veins) merge into VEINS which carry blood back to the heart. The vein walls are similar to arteries but thinner and less elastic. Veins carry deoxygenated blood towards the lungs where oxygen is received via the pulmonary capillaries. The PULMONARY Veins then carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart.
The heart
The heart is a hollow muscular organ which beats over 100,000 times a day to pump blood around the body's 60,000 miles of blood vessels. The right side of the heart receives blood and sends it to the lungs to be oxygenated, while the left side receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it out to the tissues of the body. The Heart has three layers; the ENDOCARDIUM (inner layer), the EPICARDIUM (middle layer), and MYOCARDIUM (outer layer). The heart is protected by the PERICARDIUM which is the protective membrane surrounding it.
The heart has FOUR CHAMBERS, in the lower heart the right and left Ventricles, and in the upper heart the right and left Atria. In a normal heart beat the atria contract while the ventricles relax, then the ventricles contract while the atria relax. There are VALVES through which blood passes between ventricle and atrium, these close in such a way that blood does not backwash during the pauses between ventricular contractions. The right and left ventricles are divided by a thick wall (the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM), babies born with "hole in the heart" have a small gap here, which is a problem since oxygenated and deoxygenated can blood mix. The walls of the left ventricle are thicker as it has to pump blood to all the tissues, compared to the right ventricle which only pumps blood as far as the lungs.
The spleen
This is a large flat oval organ located below the diaphragm, it's main function is to STORE BLOOD. The size of the spleen can vary, for example it may enlarge when the body is fighting infection also it's size tends to decrease with age. It is a non-vital organ and it is possible to survive after removal of the spleen.
Perinicious anaemia is a Vitamin B12 deficiency resulting in a reduction in number of erythrocytes.
Aplastic anemia is a failure of the bone marrow to produce the enough red blood cells.
Septicaemia - bacterial toxins in blood.

Studies show that as we age, particular enzymes decrease and free radicals become more abundant. Toxic, polluted environments can also take their toll on the body by increasing free radical production. Smoke, radiation, car fumes, poor diets, polluted water, and even sunlight speed the aging process. Free radicals damage body cells and cause cellular malfunctions and mutations. Programming the body to produce higher quantities of antioxidants helps combat free radical damage and slows the negative effects associated with growing older. In our fast-paced society, it is comforting to know that one convenient capsule a day will defend the body against the typical ravages of aging.*
Young Living's Longevity is as essential as a multivitamin and should be taken daily to prevent the damaging effects of aging, diet, and the environment.

Longevity™ is part of Young Living's essential oil supplement line. Many people who use essential oils are also acquainted with herbs, thus, it is easy to assume that essential oils work in the same manner as herbal formulas. This, however, is not the case. Essential oils are highly concentrated forms of fresh or dried herbs and it often takes many pounds of herbs to make a mere ounce of essential oil. Because of their concentrated potency, including their antioxidant activity, it takes only a very small amount of essential oil to achieve the desired antioxidant effects.
Who Should Use This Product?
Longevity should be taken by those concerned with the negative effects of aging to prolong looking better and feeling younger. Longevity may also be taken to increase immune function and uplift the nervous system as thyme and frankincense possess constituents that provide these benefits.*
Did You Know?
- Studies show that thyme essential oil maintains DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) levels in the brain, liver, heart, and kidneys of aging subjects. Low DHA levels are associated with a loss of focus and memory, unclear thinking, and mood alterations.Test subjects receiving a daily dose of thyme oil had higher levels of DHA than those who did not take the supplement.*
- Longevity utilizes coconut oil to ensure essential oils are more evenly dispersed in the body.Coconut oil is also highly resistant to rancidity which preserves the integrity of the oils and prolongs shelf life.

There are good fats and bad fats. Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in fish oil are among the best good fats. Volumes of research confirm that omega-3 fats reduce systemic-inflammation and support cardiovascular, joint, eye and brain health.* While eating more fish is one way to consume these essential fatty acids, it is important to note that fish is often polluted with mercury and other toxins. A great alternative to fish is to supplement daily with Omega Blue. Not only does this product provide a clinically proven dose of pure, un-concentrated fish oil, it is free from mercury and other toxins. In addition to high-quality fish oils, Omega Blue contains our proprietary Omega Enhance essential oil blend with legendary blue (German) chamomile and myrrh oil to support a healthy inflammatory response.* Lemongrass oil provides cardiovascular protection and supports healthy cholesterol levels, while clove and myrrh oil provide added antioxidant support.* The Omega Enhance blend strengthens omega-3 fats and makes Omega Blue at least ten times more stable than other fish oils. What's more, a Precision Delivery coating triples omega-3 absorption by releasing these stable, bioactive nutrients directly in the intestines.
Primary Benefits:
- Omega-3 fats offer unparalleled support for healthy heart, circulatory, eye, brain, and joint function.*
- Studies show that fish oil is helpful in alleviating skin, respiratory, and autoimmune disorders.*
- Clove oil is nature’s strongest antioxidant and richest source of eugenol.** Research indicates that clove protects fish oil to ensure freshness and prevent rancidity.
- Precision Delivery softgels release fish oil in the intestines for three times more absorption and no aftertaste.
**As measured by ORAC testing
What Makes This Product Unique? ~ The single most important factor to consider with fish oil is freshness. Fish oil can be so fragile that some cultures prefer to buy live fish and avoid dangerous rancidity. Consuming rancid fish oil is like declaring war on your body, and it can contain millions of free radicals that damage your cells. Thus it is important to look for fish oil that is strengthened with natural antioxidants to preserve the fish oil and protect freshness. Omega Blue contains the Omega Enhance blend of blue (German) chamomile, lemongrass, myrrh, and clove essential oils. This essential oil blend delivers a number of health benefits, including the very best antioxidant protection from clove and myrrh oil, the two highest ranking substances on the ORAC scale. The Omega Enhance blend also keeps the fish oil ten times more stable to ensure freshness throughout preparation, while in the softgel, and during metabolism. It is also important to find a fish oil with natural ratios of omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). EPA and DHA are simply omega-3 fats both of which are found in fish oil; research shows they are vital to its therapeutic activity. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) should represent about 14–18 percent of the fish oil and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) between 8–12 percent. Higher ratios can indicate the fish oil may have undergone further processing, which can increase rancidity and concentrate fishy flavor.
Did You Know?
- Young Living’s fish oil is harvested from small fish in pristine waters and is free of heavy metals (mercury, lead), PCBs, and dioxins
- Lemongrass oil has been clinically shown to support normal cholesterol levels and The Complete German Commission E Monographs lists lemongrass oil as an essential oil that is used for disorders and discomforts of the gastrointestinal tract.*
- Myrrh oil has high levels of sesquiterpenes, a class of compounds that have a direct effect on the hypothalymus, pituitary, and amygdala, or the seat of our emotions.* Myrrh oil is the second highest ranking substance on the ORAC scale preceded only by clove essential oil.
- Fish oils and omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help children who cannot focus while at school.*
- The omega-3 fats ALA and EPA must be converted into DHA to be used by the body. Fish oil contains EPA and DHA, and flaxseed oil contains ALA. EPA is one conversion away from DHA; however, ALA is two. Meaning, it takes a lot of ALA, or a significant amount of flaxseed oil, to make a small amount of DHA. Therefore, if you want the therapeutic benefits of DHA, fish oil is your best choice.
Key Ingredients: ~ Pure fish oil and blue (German) chamomile, lemongrass, myrrh, and clove essential oils.
