Some Interesting Things About Our Body
9/19/2007 9:08:33 AM

Hello Friends,

I found some interesting facts about the human body that I thought you may find interesting.

 

1. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.

2. A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.

3. It takes the food 7 seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

4. One human hair can support 3kg.

5. Our thighbones are stronger than concrete.

6. The attachment of human muscles to skin is what causes dimples.

7. Your thumb is the same length of your nose.

8. A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s.

9. If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he died.

10. Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair.

11. There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.


12. Side by side, 2000 cells from the human body could cover about one square inch.

13. Women blink twice as much as men.

14. The average person’s skin weighs twice as much as their brain.


15. When you are looking at some one you love, your pupils dilate, they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate.

16. It takes twice as long to lose new muscle if you stop working out than it did to gain it.

17. You’re ears secrete more earwax when you are afraid than when you aren’t.

18. Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

19. If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

20. The average women is 5 inches shorter than a average man.

Hello Leonard,
These are really cool. I have never heard the ear wax one! If you smelled my feet some days you would know that one trillion might be a low number! LOL!
Have a great day,

Hi Leonard, This one got me: 18. Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still. Did you know that the largest organ of the body is the skin?

Hi Sheryl,

Good to see you here! I thought this stuff was kind of interesting. Now I know why I trim my beard once a week. A beard 13 feet long thats abit much.
As far as your feet I will take your word on that.LOL :)

Hi Lorraine,

Thank you for posting! And adding one that was not on the list on the skin being the largest organ.
The human is pretty amazing. They had a special on National geographic channel last Sunday evening about the human body. Very interesting I thought.

Have a good one! :)

Leonard
