How do we as humans function without knowing & understanding how our brains & bodies work?

• I have wrestled with this question for a long time, it may seem strange. But I would like to know how we as humans can walk, talk, think and perform any task for that matter without really knowing or understanding how our brains and bodies work, what goes on inside them while we are performing these tasks, or what are the processes that make us do the things we do. For example we talk and walk without even knowing how we are able to walk, talk, think, reason and do anything for that matter. We perform a lot of daily functions without ever thinking about or understanding about what goes on in our bodies and brains, what chemicals and signals are released and transmitted etc. For example we walk everyday without realizing or knowing how are able to move our legs,what part of the brain controls our movement and what muscles are involved in walking. I would like to know how this is possible and if we do not know how our brains and bodies work will we not be able to use them or perform tasks of any kind without knowing and understanding this. I think it is intiuition to some extent and observation of others while we are growing up that helps us learn things and do the things we do, but I want to know for sure. I find myself analyzing my walking, talking and doing things to figure out the answer to this question. While studying, solving problems and having fun, I wonder how we are able to accomplish any of these functions without knowing how we are able to accomplish any of this. Like I said I have struggled with this question a lot, and I feel awkward when I am among people, I find myself analyzing my actions a lot and feel wierd. I havent shared this with anyone since I think they may laugh. But is it normal to have questions like this. Im really curious how children and animals are able to accomplish the tasks the accomplish without even thinking or knowing anything about it, maybe its learned behavior. My psychology professor once said when we type on a computer or typewriter we shouldnt think how we are able to type the things we type we should just type. But I wonder how this is accomplished it really intrigues me how can we as humans accomplish the tasks we accomplish without knowing how we accomplish them if that makes any sense. Maybe I should pose this question to a nuerologist or psychiatrist and see what they have to say regarding this matter. And also how does our memory work and what part of the brain controls memory we memorize things daily without thinking about it. How are we able to memorize things without even knowing how our memory works . How do we learn things, what part of the brain and body are involved and the questions regarding this particular subject can go on forever. I hope I have made my question clear. Bottom line is how are we as humans able to do the things we do without even knowing how we do the things we do. If anyone can help me with this question I will be greatly thankful. As I have said before I have struggled with question for a long time. It will be a load off my back. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Some people have answered this question by saying its similar to the way people use televisions, microwaves etc without knowing how the televisions and microwaves etc work, but my question is even if we dont have to know what makes those items work we still have to know and learn and understand what button on the television or microwave to push to open the microwave and change the channels of a TV, I guess thats where our learning comes into play, I would like to know what you guys think..

• Answer:

  the thing is everything inside are body is developing and functioning from the day we are born its not something we can control . God has made our bodies in such a way that they continue to function regardless of our knowledge. No one needs to psychologically program themselves to carry out simple things like breathing and blinking. take the example of newborns they dont know that what they are doing every second is something called breathing yet they are breathing! its something that comes to us naturally.
