YOUR DESIGNED BODY: The Cascading Problem of the Problems With Oxygen
Among the most frustrating of experiences is to encounter a problem that must be solved, but in the process of doing so, more and more problems are discovered and in short order you have a cascade of them on your hands.
Engineer Steve Laufmann, author of the superb “Your Designed Body,” knows a thing or three about dealing with engineering problems and he also has a tremendous gift for describing them in terms that make the explanation accessible, even for yours truly.

Laufmann’s gift is very much on display as he takes us in the following 3:21 video through the remarkable problem-solution sequence associated with getting the right amount of oxygen at the right time to all of the 30-some trillion cells in our bodies.
And the human body features a whole parade of problems that originate in one of the body’s systems — circulatory, digestion, etc. — and just when you think it’s solved, you find that it leads to more problems.
