  • Wow, What a mystery.

  • How can it be so mind-boggling?

  • Oh, you thought I was talking about space or something?

  • No, it's your own body and all its wonders.

  • Every single second, there are 100,000 chemical reactions going on in that big brain of yours.

  • Breathing, blinking, moving muscles and controlling your body like a marionette.

  • Your brain stays busy around the clock.

  • For such a complex machine, the human brain is mostly water, about 70%.

  • That's why going without water is a more immediate problem than going without food.

  • The average person will grow 600 miles of hair in a lifetime.

  • That's about the distance from New York City to Dayton, Ohio.

  • It's a very hairy distance.

  • That pink, swishy looking membrane in the inner corner of your eye is a leftover from evolution.

  • It used to be 1/3 nick dictating eyelid.

  • Many animals still have it like birds, reptiles and cats.

  • Goosebumps are also left over from evolution.

  • They used to help our much hairier ancestors living in Dayton, Ohio, look bigger and scarier.

  • Yes, just like how a cat's hair stands up on end when it feels it needs to protect itself or scare somebody away.

  • You can't burp in space.

  • Really?

  • Try it.

  • I can't go to space.

  • Well, trust me burping happens when liquid separates from gas in the stomach and there's Only occurs thanks to gravity.

  • The heart pumps blood at such a pressure that it could raise it up to the fourth floor of a building, and it takes 45 seconds for your blood to pump from your heart through your whole body and back to home base.

  • It also pumps 2000 gallons of the stuff in a single day.

  • That's almost a CZ, much as a concrete mixer truck and whole information moves along nerves at about 200 miles per hour, getting from one place to another in a matter of milliseconds.

  • And that's why you jerk your hand back so quickly when you accidentally touch that high pizza pan.

  • Your brain has 86 billion nerve cells that joined to create 100 trillion connections for comparison.

  • Our Milky Way galaxy contains on Lee about 300 billion stars.

  • The body's fastest muscles are in the eye, and the blink of an eye is about 1/10 of a second.

  • You do that 20,000 times a day.

  • Adults may blink an average of 15 times a minute, but babies do it only once or twice a minute.

  • The reason is still unknown to scientists.

  • Just don't challenge any babies to a staring contest.

  • There are 250,000 sweat glands in your feet, and they produce about half of pine of sweat in a single day.

  • Do your feet smell?

  • Actually, your nose does the smelling.

  • Your feet just stink.

  • A dog's sense of smell could be up to 100,000 times stronger than a human's, but you can still distinguish a trillion distinct odors.

  • Your body's natural smell is absolutely unique, except if you have a twin after birth, many babies have blue eyes that go darker with time.

  • It's because the amount of melanin, the pigment that gives your eyes, hair and skin their color in the iris is gradually increases.

  • During the first couple years, newborn baby see the world in black and white and upside down thehe bility to distinguish colors and flip.

  • The picture on Lee comes later.

  • Their eyes might take some time to finish developing, but a baby's peepers are about the same size as an adult size.

  • Your nose and ears never stop growing throughout your lifetime.

  • Sad but true.

  • Well, we have two nostrils.

  • They don't work in the same way.

  • In 85% of people air moves through one or the other, and this mazel cycle changes throughout the day.

  • Blushing is caused by a burst of adrenaline, and when your cheeks blush, so does your stomach.

  • A person produces enough saliva in a lifetime to fill two swimming pools.

  • That's a spit load of saliva.

  • The tongue consists of eight interwoven muscles.

  • It's structures like an octopus is tentacle or an elephant's trump.

  • Despite common belief, the tongue is not the strongest muscle in the human body.

  • That would be the jaw muscle.

  • Ah, human bite equals £200 of force, much less than alligators and charts.

  • They go into the thousands of pounds of force, but it's still more than a Parana, just like your fingerprints.

  • Tongue prints are unique for every individual, except for humans.

  • There's no other creature on earth that has a chin.

  • Even our eight cousins, like gorillas and chimpanzees, don't have one.

  • It's still a mystery for scientists.

  • Why itself.

  • Well, where else would we put our beard?

  • Speaking of which, ever noticed how some men have brown hair but a red beard?

  • It's because they have one copy of the M C one RG.

  • When a person has two copies of this gene, they're fully redheaded.

  • When you're listening to music, your heart starts beating in sync with the rhythm of a song.

  • That's why they say classical music is good for you.

  • It makes your heart beat slower and steadies your nerves.

  • The human body contains enough blood vessels to wrap around the Earth four times without a pinky finger, your grip would only be half a strong, Though the small pinky seems to be the weakest one.

  • It's the one that teams up the whole hand crew mess.

  • Thes Asia is a phenomenon where people hear a sound and see a color with it.

  • Many famous musicians have had it.

  • The cornea of the eye gets oxygen right from the air because there's no blood supply to it.

  • The fingernails on your dominant hand grow faster and your fingernails grow faster than your toenails.

  • It all has to do with how often you use a digit the more you use it, the faster it grows.

  • Human fingertips are so sensitive they can feel ridges in an object, even when they're just 13 Nana meters deep.

  • For comparison, a Nana meter is one millionth of a millimetre, and a millimeter is about the length of a grain of sand.

  • How touching?

  • According to recent research, the appendix isn't pointless at all.

  • Scientists found that its stores good bacteria that have a positive effect on immune health.

  • Similar story with your tonsils and you can live without both.

  • An adult skeleton is composed of 206 bones, the strongest of which is the femur.

  • It can stand 30 times the weight of a person's body.

  • Yet we're all born with 300 bones, some of them fused together as you age, even into early adulthood.

  • If someone touches your middle toe while your eyes are closed, you probably wouldn't be able to tell which toe is being touched.

  • Try it and let me know how it goes.

  • Running and walking would be a challenge without a big toe.

  • It's the most important one, bearing 40% of the body's wake.

  • If you go into space, you can grow up to two inches taller.

  • You can thank zero gravity for expanding the disks in between each vertebra.

  • They get squished here on Earth.

  • While listening to this fact, 50,000 cells in your body were replaced with new ones.

  • Seven.

  • Oct.

  • Ilian is thehe mount of Adam's theat.

  • Average adult body is made up of that 8,000,000,000 or seven, followed by 27 zeros.

  • Tomatoes have 7000 more genes than humans.

  • Just goes to show you more.

  • Doesn't always mean better.

  • Maybe juicier.

  • A caterpillar has more muscles than you do.

  • While we have about 650 they have 4000 again.

  • Strength isn't always in numbers.

  • Human sweat is actually odorless.

  • It's the bacteria on your skin that interacts with the sweat and produces that smell.

  • Every person has the same number of fat cells, no matter how thin or plump they are.

  • These cells just get bigger or smaller, and you can't get rid of them with diet and exercise.

  • Humans have the same number of hairs on their body as chimps do.

  • Good thing.

  • Most of ours heir to fine and light to be seen.

  • So a thicker natural coat would be nice and winter, especially in Dayton.

  • Anyway.

  • If you learn something new today, then give the video alike and share with a friend.

  • And here are some other cool videos I think he'll enjoy.

  • Just click to the left or right, and remember, stay on the bright side of life.

Wow, What a mystery.
