FACTS ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY

THE LARGEST CELL IN THE HUMAN BODY IS THE

FEMALE EGG AND IRONICALLY THE SMALLEST IS

THE SPERM CELL. A WOMAN’S EGG IS ACTUALLY

THE ONLY CELL IN THE BODY THAT IS VISIBLE

TO THE NAKED EYE.

WHEN WE ARE BABIES OUR HEAD IS ONE-QUARTER

OF THE TOTAL LENGTH OF OUR BODY, BUT BY THE

AGE OF TWENTY-FIVE WILL ONLY BE ONE-EIGHTH OF

ITS TOTAL LENGTH. THIS IS BECAUSE PEOPLE’S HEADS

GROW AT A MUCH SLOWER RATE THAN THE REST

OF THEIR BODIES.

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE HUMAN BODY HAS ABOUT

SIXTY THOUSAND MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS.

TEETH ARE THE ONLY PART OF THE HUMAN BODY

THAT CAN’T REPAIR THEMSELVES.

YOUR EYES ARE ALWAYS THE SAME SIZE FROM BIRTH,

BUT YOUR NOSE AND EARS NEVER STOP GROWING.

THE BRAIN OPERATES ON THE SAME AMOUNT OF POWER

AS A TEN-WATT LIGHTBULB, EVEN WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING.

IN FACT, THE BRAIN IS MUCH MORE ACTIVE AT NIGHT

THAN DURING THE DAY.

A RECENT STUDY SHOWS THAT MEMORY CAN BE AFFECTED

BY BODY POSITION. APPARENTLY, WHERE YOU ARE AND

HOW YOU ARE POSITIONED IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT CAN

DRASTICALLY TRIGGER MEMORY.

WHILE FACIAL HAIR SERVES SOME PURPOSES, THE HAIR

FOUND ON THE REST OF OUR BODY IS PRACTICALLY

USELESS AND CAN BE REMOVED WITH FEW TO NO

SIDE EFFECTS.

WE MIGHT CONSIDER IT GROSS AND CLEAN IT OUT

EVERY CHANCE WE GET BUT EARWAX IS NECESSARY AND

SERVES AS A SHIELD FOR OUR EARS.
