The Cell in 40 Topics

The substances produced by the kidneys, lung and liver—jointly, and
in accord with a rearranged blueprint—are combined in a regular manner,
as a result of which they ensure the secretion of a hormone that causes
blood pressure to rise. To achieve this, the cells of the kidneys, lungs and
liver have to join forces and establish a coalition.
When blood pressure falls, this consortium of organs must investigate
what needs to be done. Then, as a result of this investigation, the coalition
has to decide on the ideal solution: which is narrowing the diameter of the
blood vessels and also ensuring the secretion of the hormone aldosterone.
Then, these organs again must cooperate to carry out lengthy research
and analyze the anatomies and working systems of the adrenal glands and
muscle cells around the blood vessels. They then must determine a molec-
ular project to contract these vessels and for the miraculous formula of an-
giotensin-II to stimulate the adrenal glands to secrete aldosterone.
The last job that needs to be done is determining how this final mole-
cule is to be produced. During the production stage, each organ must as-
sume a responsibility. Duties must be shared out in a three-stage assembly
plan within the framework of the production plan already drawn up in ad-
vance. The renal cells must decide to produce rennin, the liver cells to pro-
duce angiotensinogen, and the lung cells to produce ACE; and the task of
distribution must be completed. Finally, the process must be brought to an
end and the cells must return to their original locations (Figures 46 and 47).
Every part of this system is full of marvels calling for further consid-
eration. Every cell in the human body has been created for a particular task,
equipped with special attributes and specially positioned exactly where it
needs to best carry out its task. Our Lord has created all the events that take
place in the human body, and every detail in that body is just one of the
proofs of His infinite knowledge.
As Almighty God has revealed in the Qur'an:
Any mercy God opens up to people, no one can withhold, and any He
withholds, no one can afterwards release. He is the Almighty, the All-
Wise. (Surah Fatir, 2)
