Incredible Biology
*Tickling: Your body reacts with panic
when tickled, as it’s your brains way of telling you there is a bug crawling on
you. So that laugh is fear!
*Our Bones: You probably would believe
adults have more bones than a baby, don’t you? When in fact babies have more
bones than an adult.
*Breathing: Have you ever tried to
breathe and swallow at the same time? You can’t.
*The Human Brain: The human brain only
makes up 2% of a person’s body weight, but needs 20% of the body’s oxygen and
15% of the heart’s work.
*NASA Hubble Space Telescope: The human
brain produces as much data in 30 seconds as the NASA Hubble Space telescope
has produced in its entire lifetime.
*Thighs: Have you got solid thighs?
You’re damn right you do, as human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.
*Shivering: When you shiver in the
cold, your body releases the exercise hormone irisin, which encourages your
body to turn fat into heat.
*Skin Organisms: There are more
organisms living on the skin of one human than there are humans living on
planet Earth.
*Bacteria: The average human gut
contains 100 trillion bacteria, which make up 1-3% of your body mass.
*1 Million Songs: Your brain could fit
in approximately 1 million songs, as the storage capacity of a human brain
exceeds 4 terabytes.
