He also said he is a gate. Does He have hinges on his flank?

When Christ says He is the Gate, the image illuminates something about the nature of Christ and His relationship to us, because He is saying something about Himself. In the sentence "This is My Body," He is clearly saying something about the bread; what does it illuminate about the nature of the bread? It's not a metaphor, but expand it to the form of a simile (This bread is like My Body) -- how is the bread like His Body?
