Let's Talk Science

Okay lets see.So far, we have come upon some haircare tips, Grammar, and Facebook. I've been thinking for some time to share these interesting facts on human body. Shall we start? *grins*

Do you know?

• Babies have more bones than we do

Newborn babies have 300 bones in their body. When they reach adulthood, they are left with only 206 bones. This is because the smaller bones eventually join together to form stronger single bones.
Fun fact(s) : 1/4 of the bones in your body are in your feet. Try drop a hammer or lesung batu whatsoever to see if your feet bones crack hard. Ha.

• Human's hair is almost indestructible

Yes you heard it right. Your hair, my hair, no, everyone's hair decays at such a low rate that it is almost impossible to get rid of. If you still remember watching those documentaries on Egypt, pyramid and Mummies, the Mummies are all left with no flesh. Nothing but bones and yes, hair. Be it change of climate, weather, or other natural forces, the hair is hardly bothered or destroyed and it is resistant to many acids and corrosive chemicals.
Fun fact(s) : Next to bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body. On average, redheads have 90000 hairs while people with black hair have about 110000 hairs. Imma go count my hair after this.

• Sleep no, food yes.

We can survive without food but not without sleep. Yes both are essential in our daily lives, we need food to produce energy and sleeping helps in retaining the energy. But many neglect the fact that humans can actually survive longer without food than without sleep.An average person could survive a month to two without food, with water alone. But a few sleepless night will cause the person to experience radical personality and physical changes such as having panda eyes dark circles.
Fun fact(s) : Average person fall asleep in seven minutes. The average human will eat an average of 8 spiders while sleeping :O

• There are about 9,000 taste buds on the surface of the tongue, in the throat, and on the roof of the mouth. taste buds contain chemoreceptors that responds to chemicals from food and other substances that are dissolved by the saliva in the mouth.

Fun fact(s) : 85% of the population can curl their tongue into a cube.

• Go remove a large part of our internal organs and we survive

The human body may appear fragile, but our body is stronger than we could imagine. Even after removing the stomach, one kidney, one lung, 75% of the liver, 80% of the intestines and almost every organ on the pelvic, it is still possible to survive.
Fun fact(s) : The small intestine in teh humanm body is about 2 inches around, 22 feet long.

• The eyeball of a human weighs approximately 28 grams.
• We blink over 10,000,000 times a year.
• When we sneeze, all bodily functions stop, even our heart.
• If we yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days we could possibly produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
• If we farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. Whoa.
• In a month, a fingernail grows an eight of an inch.
