Human being as God said “is a perfect creation’. Each and every part performs special and unique tasks. Read on to learn some incredible things the human body does.
A healthy human body contains an adequate amount of :
* iron to make a three inch nail.
* carbon to produce 1,000 pencils.
* potassium to trigger a toy cannon.
* sulphur to kill all fleas on an average dog.
* phosphorous enough to make 8 match heads.
* fat to produce 7 bars of soap.
*water to fill a ten gallon tank.
* Almost ¼ of our bones are found in the feet.
* The human hand contains 14 finger bones or phalanges.
* The largest muscle in the human body is the buttock muscle.
* Fingernails grow faster than toenails and for a new nail grow from tip to base will probably takes 6 months.
* For the record, an individual loses an average of 40 to 100 strands of hair a day.
* For a fact, human brain is made up of 80% water and it stops growing as one reach the age of 18.
* All in all, the human body contains 70,000 miles of blood vessels.
* Human brain has a storage capacity of about 4 terabytes (4, 000 gigabytes), while human senses can transmit up to 100 million messages to the brain every second.
* A human liver could still rejuvenate and functions even if 80% of it were removed.
* Just like fingerprint, each individual has a unique tongue print.
* Ever wonder what would a piece of white paper looked like after you have spent long hours working at a computer monitor, guess what — it will appear somewhat pink in color. Between watching television and sleeping ,our body burns more calories doing the latter activity.
* A cough can travel up to 60 miles per hour carrying with it a highly-charged, volatile air.
* If you measure the inside of your elbow up to wrist, you will arrive at a measurement that is nearly the length of your forearm.
* At the age of 60, many of us will have only 50 percent of our taste buds working.
* In his lifetime, an average man can consume up to 16,000 gallons of water in a lifetime.
* However, an average healthy man do sweats 2 1/2 quarts every day.
* Researches showed that men’s heart beat slower than women.
* On an average of 70 beats per minute, the human heart will have beat more or less 2.5 billion times as a person reaches 70.
* Researches made by German specialists showed that there is a high percentage that a person will suffer a heart attack on Monday than any other day of the week.
Mondays are busy days, maybe that's the reason why heart attacks often occur on such date. I could only imagine the amount of carbon inside our body, it's plenty!
ReplyDeleteNice trivia about the human body. The heart is also the strongest part of a person as it beats non-stop and keeps us going even through hard times.
ReplyDeleteAll things in the post are quite believable except the last one. I don't think they have examined each and every person who has had a heart attack and only had smart guesses according to those in their area. Days and sicknesses of people don't have any relationship and I hope I speak sense. :P
ReplyDeletevery informative post.. thanks
ReplyDeleteOur body and its system are amazing!!! Imagine our brain has 4K GB storage capacity... but normally, we can just take so much because our head may explode or be corrupted. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteAdditional:
ReplyDelete* the tongue is the strongest muscle of the body.
* the teeth is the hardest substance in the body.
Fat to produce 7 bars of soap. I wonder kung makakailan ako, lolz. Seriously, this is very informative Papaleng.
ReplyDeletewow that's a lot of knowledge for me today!! love the unique fingerprint and tongue detail! very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's just me but it's my first time to hear that every human has unique tongue print just like finger print. New learning for me today thanks.
ReplyDeleteGod is really the best artist of all. He created us magnificently.
ReplyDeleteSuch craftsmanship of God!
ReplyDeletewow! What a wonderful information/facts about the human body. This post takes me back when I was in high school. :)
ReplyDeleteOh this is very interesting! About removing almost 80 percent of your liver that it can still function and rejuvenate--but diba if you had your liver removed or a portion of it, it can be very risky that sometimes it can actually lead to death?
ReplyDeletethese are really awesome facts!!
ReplyDeletei had the painful learning experience of finding how long does a nail grow from cuticle to edge :(
ReplyDeleteNice read. God is so great that He do these in our bodies, artistry made and scientifically studied. awesome!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I wonder if tongue prints are used for identification/investigation too... hehe
ReplyDeleteI know our feet have many bones but I'm not aware it comprises 1/4 of our bone structure. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI want to see the real heart beating .. I know Im weird he he. There is a Body Works exhibit here about human body parts. Everything was real and they said its gross but for me its interesting.
ReplyDeleteomg I have learned a lot from this post! I really enjoy reading trivias! =)
ReplyDeleteThe tongue also shows if you have certain illness in your body.
ReplyDeleteThese amazing facts about the human body really contribute to the reasoning and evidence that there is a God :) Otherwise, we'd all be just simple stick figures, right? :D
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing all these trivia to us, very interesting and informative...i enjoyed reading post like this wherein i can learn something. :) these only shows how great God is when He created eyes, beautifully done. :)
