Grandry Body

Grandry - In the history of anatomy and physiology, one of the first to speak of the (now defunct) “great body” or “grande anatomie” was Joseph Francois Blanchy, a professor at the medical school in Paris (1754-1809). He wrote more than once about "grandry" and published a description of how the great Buffon, the Renaissance scientist who first tried to construct a model of the "universal body", laid all the foundations of the then existing science. Apparently, it was in this sense that Grandry understood the term. Consequently, in his opinion, this treatise should be based on “the structure of the entire human body.”

Grandry - This was the symbol of great medicine, or the "anatomy of the future", which Grossi envisaged in his message on the subject. Therefore, for him, the anatomy of the future, represented by the grandri body, represents the ideal of knowledge that seeks to unite in itself all knowledge about the human body.



Grandry body, also known as granddric body or gandric body, is a physiological condition in which the body inhales more air than normal breathing. It usually manifests itself in athletes and those who train very intensively.

The mechanism for the appearance of the grandric body is associated with an increase in the carbon dioxide content in the blood, which reaches a threshold value that can be detected using a special breath analyzer, for example, a treadmill test. Also, during training, there is an increase in cortisol, the stress hormone. People who exercise regularly have lower levels of this hormone because it is one of the mechanisms for regulating its levels. Cortisol is essentially found in the bloodstream, and if the concentration is high enough, the heart will work harder. The heart pumps more blood through the lungs, which increases the surface area of ​​the lungs and increases the volume of air inhaled. As a result, the volume of the lungs decreases, and the exhaled air begins to fill the time intervals between breaths. This increase in the volume of inhalation and exhalation is described as grand rythmic breathing or gandric breathing.

A study of human breathing showed that an increase in the frequency and volume of inspiration is directly related to an increase in pulmonary ventilation. At the same time, the growth and development of the lungs is stimulated, and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is improved. In addition, lower stress levels help reduce fatigue, reduce pain, and improve workout performance.
