Where is the Cellular matrix?
In order to find the Cellular matrix, we must learn to be like the detective Sherlock Holmes, and slowly find our answers from the obvious and common little things.
First of all, if I ask you, why do you want to eat, how do you answer? Maybe you will answer, because I have to work, I have to live, or ...etc. That's right! In order to be able to move and work, the body must be able to function normally. It's like a car; you need to add gasoline, otherwise the car won't move, right?
The basic unit of our body function is called the cell. When the cell function of each part of the body is good, the body will follow suit. For the cell function to be good, it must have good raw materials, that is, the supply of nutrients, otherwise the cells will deteriorate. That is, you want to eat, but how does what you eat reach the cell? Have you thought about it?
That's right! The food eaten is digested by the gastrointestinal tract and decomposed into simple molecules such as glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, etc. After being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, it enters the circulatory system, and finally collects in the heart, and then the heart takes these nutrients (glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, etc.) and oxygen via the aorta, and they finally reach the capillaries via small arteries and branch arteries. But can these nutrient-rich substances that reach the capillaries be immediately used by the cells? Of course, it is not possible. At this time, these nutrient-rich substances will penetrate the microvascular wall through diffusion or active transport, enter the Cellular matrix, and then reach various cells through unequal distances, and finally be absorbed by the cells. The cells use these nutrients to carry out chemical reactions, and ultimately produce something called ATP, which is the energy source of our bodies. Only with ATP can cells perform their functions and our bodies can move for work and making money. However, in addition to producing useful ATP, cells inevitably, produce metabolic waste. If these metabolic wastes do not leave the cell, over time, when the concentration of metabolic waste in the cell is too high, it will cause cell disease or death. Therefore, the metabolic wastes that are constantly produced must continue to leave the cells and enter the Cellular matrix again, and finally return to the circulatory system through the Cellular lymphatics and capillaries. Some of these metabolic wastes are filtered and eliminated by the kidneys and become urine, some are eliminated through sweat and stool, and carbon dioxide is eliminated through the lungs. So, imagine, when nutrients enter the cell and metabolic waste leaves the cell, they all pass through the Cellular matrix, right?
If you are in the habit of making tea, you know that if you have brewed tea leaves a hundred times, but do not clean the teapot, after a long time, there will be a thick layer of sediment at the bottom of the teapot. The Cellular matrix is the same. From nutrient to metabolic waste, after decades, there will be a lot of metabolic waste and free radicals in Cellular Matrix. The things you eat may also contain heavy metals, pigments, and antiseptics, which are also deposited in the Cellular matrix together. So once there are a lot of these toxic factors in the Cellular matrix, it will end up poisoning the cells in the Cellular matrix environment.
