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!

*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.
