I am in the medical academy in my high school, and am so fascinated with
the things our bodies can do! My main interest though is the heart, and God willing, I am going to medical school to be a cardiologist.
I wanted to share some facts about the human body, some you might
already know, some you might not. If you have any more to share,
please don't hesitate to post! (I tell these to my grandpa all the time and
he thinks I am some sort of genius. haha)
The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male *****.
A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.
It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.
One human hair can support 3 kg (6 lb).
Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.
The attachment of human muscles to skin is what causes dimples.
If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he died.
There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
Side by side, 2000 cells from the human body could cover about one square inch.
Women blink twice as often as men.
The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.
When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate...they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate!
Your ears secrete more earwax when you are afraid than when you aren't.
Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.
If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.
The average woman is five inches shorter than the average man.
