THINGS ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY

AN AVERAGE ADULT HUMAN IS MADE UP OF

ABOUT SEVEN OCTILLION ATOMS. JUST TO MAKE

A COMPARISON, THERE ARE ABOUT 300 BILLION

STARS IN OUR GALAXY.

WHEN YOU BLUSH, THE LINING OF YOUR

STOMACH BLUSHES TOO.

IT TAKES SEVENTEEN MUSCLES TO SMILE

AND FORTY-THREE TO FROWN.

YOUR SKELETON KEEPS RENEWING ITSELF EVERY

TEN YEARS, WHICH MEANS THAT EVERY DECADE

YOU GET A NEW SKELETON.

IN CASE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT THE STRONGEST

MUSCLE IN THE BODY IS, IT IS THE TONGUE, WHILE

THE HARDEST BONE IN THE BODY IS THE JAWBONE.

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF SWEAT DOESN’T

SMELL BAD. BODY ODOUR IS CAUSED WHEN THE

SKIN’S BACTERIA FEED ON SWEAT. SO, BACTERIA’S

WASTE PRODUCTS CAUSE THIS HORRIBLE ODOUR.

INSIDE YOUR BELLY BUTTON “LIVE” THOUSANDS OF

BACTERIA THAT COULD LITERALLY FORM AN

ECOSYSTEM THE SIZE OF AN ENTIRE RAIN FOREST.

ACCORDING TO MOST SCIENTISTS, HUMANS ARE THE

ONLY ANIMALS ON EARTH WHO PRODUCE

EMOTIONAL TEARS.
