What are cellular mechanisms?

Cellular mechanisms are the tiny workers inside your body that help you grow, move, and feel happy.

Imagine your body is like a giant city, and every cell is a little house in that city. Inside each house, there are workers doing specific jobs, some cook food, others clean up, and some send messages to other houses. These workers are the mechanisms, and together they make sure everything runs smoothly.

Think of your cells like a factory line. Each part of the cell is like a worker with a special job. One group might be cutting food into pieces (chopping), another might be putting it all together (building), and still others might be taking the finished product to where it’s needed (delivering). These groups work together to keep your body going, just like workers in a factory.

If one group of workers gets sick or stops working, that part of the city (or your body) might not function as well. That's why you feel tired when you're sick, some of your tiny workers are taking a break!
