From what we're told, the network gathers energy from cells to create chakra. It doesn't actually tell us the details of how it works. However, we know that there are 8 major Gates, so there could be other "gate" structures in the body. Similarly, energy for chakra needs to be gathered somehow. That would further explain how individuals would develop abilities by acquiring the flesh of others. The Chakra is literally drawn from their cells to develop their Bloodline Limits.

And...(Mental Breakthrough) following the ideas of the 8 Gates (That the Chakra Network is connected to bodily functions) it could be explained how Chakra interacts with the body despite the dismissively limited appearance the Chakra Network has at first glance.

I like this idea too much.

Though... that would really require a new level of Chakra Control if at all correct.
