In this article we will dig out what is the constitution? The constitution of a thing, whether animate or inanimate, is its structural makeup—the nature and arrangement or pattern of the stuff of which it is composed. Literally, the constitution of anything is the specific way in which it is put together. Practically, and almost universally when applied to living creatures, constitution means structural individuality.
Every human being is unique. It’s not surprising that people behave differently when in trouble or under stress, as they are constituted differently. A fundamental aspect of any branch of medical, anthropological, biological, or psychological science dealing with human beings is the problem of identifying and defining their individual peculiarities.
The sum of all the identifying characteristics that set this person apart and give him his continuing or permanent individuality may be called constitutional equipment. Your constitution is, of course, derived from your genetic heritage. The whole pattern of your constitution has grown into its present form because your genes, contributed by your parents, carry built-in instructions. These instructions originally had to do with cellular modification and division, or growth. This was in response to stimuli provided by or resulting from the environment.
Later, when you began to take on form and substance—as your constitution developed and became evident—cellular modification progressed rapidly. The various colonies of differentiated or specialized cells were only able to respond selectively and limited to the instructions they carried, even though all cells carried complete sets of the original instructions. It was a penalty for specialization, but the resulting division of labor greatly enhanced the organism’s biological efficiency and behavioral potential. Specialization was superimposed upon specialization.
A somatic (body) frame takes shape, with its distribution of bone, muscle, and connective tissue. A digestive system (with its glandular appendages) is developed together with a circulatory system to carry nutrition and maintenance to all parts of the body. Skin has developed as an instrumental system, with its many specialized appendages, including the brain, nervous system, sense organs, and reproductive organs. You may have a somatic frame that is very small, very large, or somewhere between these extremes.
Bones, muscles, and their connective ligaments may all develop harmoniously and in good balance within the somatic house (where you live). Or you may be meeting your world with a poorly integrated somatic structure—fine or crude skeletal architecture together with either refined or crude muscular elaboration, complicated (or helped) by either coarse or fine connective tissue development.
These are rather basic and easily assessed constitutional characteristics. You can either become an efficient athlete or a stumbling caricature of so-called attic ineptitude depending on how you use them. The digestive system is primarily a long muscular tube with digestive glands distributed throughout almost its whole Atten. It also has several similar specialized glandular structures intimately associated.
Taken as a whole, this is the central core of a living animal—the very seat of life, and the vital tie with the earth. How you are constituted in the way of digestive equipment—whether over endowed or under endowed and whether all parts of the system are harmoniously developed and well-integrated and efficient—this visceral constitutional characteristic may be the most important determiner of all in laying the foundations of what psychologists call personality and psychiatrists call mental health. If the SOMA is the house you live in, the visceral organs may be essential to you.
The nervous system and brain provide an internal telephone service and also a varied set of periscope devices through which you look outward from your internal saltwater world. You see (and hear, feel, taste, and smell) the surrounding universe. In fact, your entire structure is your constitution, and it offers perhaps the most direct path to understanding yourself. Moreover, it is unique. There will never be another exactly like it.
