Inner cells lose the apical region. Different positions, different signals, gene programs begin to diverge.

What Massage Taught Me About the Human Body.
I used to think massage was mostly about muscles. Find the tight spot. Apply pressure. Work it out. Move on. After years of working with people’s bodies, I’ve learned that the human body is much more complicated—and much more intelligent—than that.
