      Not perfectlyโ€ฆ but well enough for us to survive. This is a very complex question and is really dependant on the scale on which you are thinking. You can think on the scale of muscles, bones, organs etcโ€ฆ thatโ€™s really what medical doctors do. A bit like car mechanics, they know how the components work together and can fix problems. However, they donโ€™t necessarily need to know the microscopic detail of how the components work at the atomic and molecular levelโ€ฆ thatโ€™s really more for biochemists and biophysicists.
