Surprising Facts about Human Body

Sometimes, we often think machines are wonderful because they can work constantly through many years. However, we may forget one important thing that human body is really perfect because it must load huge responsibilities.

 

You Can Live Without Many of Your Internal Organs

It is said that we would die immediately if losing one of our internal organs. The idea is true for the heart but not true for some internal organs. Actually, you can live without spleen, one kidney, one lung, 75 percent of your liver, 80 percent of your intestines as well as most of the organs located in your pelvis and groin area.

 

Your body still operates normally if you lack some internal organs

 

Hundreds of Millions of Death Cells

Each 60 seconds, our body has lost 300,000,000 cells that amount equally to the United States’ population. However, you shouldn’t worry about this because there are more cells being born than dying in our body.

 

Each day, 10 to 50 trillion cells are replaced in our body

 

Your Hair Is the Superman of the Body

Our hair surprisingly is the superman of our bodies because it is often much indestructible and stays longer than most other body’s parts. Actually, mummies have hair on their head through thousands of years.

 

Our hair isn’t also affected by changes in climate, humidity and temperature, even many different varieties of acids and chemicals

 

We Grow Every Night

It is reported that human body grows about one-third of an inch while we sleep because our cartilage discs are squeezed by the force of gravity whether you are standing or sitting.

 

But when we wake up and start walking, our height shrinks back down to our normal height

 

We Are Visual Beings

We are said to be visual beings because we must process 90 percent of all our information through the eyes more than through other senses.

 

Other senses including touch, taste, smell and sound are responsible for processing 10 percent of the information

 

Nature’s Filter

Two kidneys help remove toxins from our body, so we cannot live without both of them. Actually, our body has two million individual filters to produce 1.3 liters of blood per minute and expel 1.4 liters of urine per day because each kidney contains one million filters. People, who fail their kidney functions, must use kidney dialysis machines to maintain their lives.

 

Our bodys will fill with toxins without these vital filters

 

Power of Stomach Acids

The stomach is a powerful part of your body but acids inside our stomach are so strong that they can dissolve zinc. Fortunately, our stomach lining actually renews itself rapidly to prevent negative effects of acids.

 

If our stomach didn’t have the renewing capacity, we would get a large hole in our body within minutes
