The human body is an amazing place and is constantly working to keep us alive, all whilst we have no idea of the intricate chemical reactions that the body is going through every second. The body really is an amazing place and there are many things you probably didn’t even know about your own. Here are seven cool facts about the human body.
Blood Groups
If you think of blood groups, you normally think of four: A, B, O and AB. Actually, there are 29 different blood groups out there including one of the rarest which is common in Japan. This is called the Bombay subtype and occurs in some small families in the nation.
Woman Have Better Taste
Boys have less taste buds located on the top of their tongues than women do. Take this into consideration the next time your man makes a meal! We are not sure exactly why this occurs, but it is true, women have better taste than men, and it is scientifically proven.
Stick That Tongue Out
Our tongues are all unique. Just like fingerprints, we all have a unique tongue print and nobody will ever have the same. Although I doubt that police will start taking tongue prints any time soon, it’s cool to know nobody will ever have the same tongue as you!
Wash Your Mouth Out!
The mouth is full of bacteria, so much so that there are the same or more bacteria in your mouth at this very moment than there are people living on earth. Don’t worry though, some of these bacteria are good bacteria and are needed to break down the food in your mouth. Others come from eating and drinking foods and putting our hands in our mouths! If that doesn’t help you remember to brush I don’t know what will!
Nothing to Be Nervous About
If we were to take all the nerves out of our body and lay them end to end, the total length of all the nerves in the human body would reach 75 kilometers. Yet these still fit in our bodies along with everything else we need. Check out Biologyjunction.Com for more cool biology facts.
Food for Thought
On average, one person can go through 35 tons of food during their whole lifetime. In comparison, one of the most popular aircrafts the Boeing 737-800 weighs approximately 75 tons. So, in equivalent we eat just over half an airplane in our lifetime. This may change if we head out to the buffet though.
Smile
Smiling uses around 17 muscles in the face whereas to cry, you use around 43. This is a great reason to smile more! The more we work our face muscles, the sooner wrinkles will begin to appear. Dry your eyes and put on a big grin, you’ll thank me later.
The body is an amazing place and there are many more things that you probably still don’t know. Impress your friends with your newly learnt facts about their body.
