Strange Facts about the Human Body


1.      The risk of heart attack is greatest on Monday—thought to be partially true because people at risk have too much fun on the weekend.

2.      People are taller in the morning than they are in the evening—due to compression of cartilage in the joints of the bones.

3.      The bones in your feet account for one quarter of the number of bones in your entire body.

4.      An estimated 32 million bacteria reside on every square inch of human skin.

5.      Fear increases the production of earwax.

6.      People who are right-handed live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people—due mainly to left-handed accidents in a mostly right-hand intended world.

7.      Your ears never stop growing.

8.      The largest human cell is the egg in a female and the smallest human cell is sperm in a male.

9.      Your chances of having a bad dream increases as the temperature of the room in which you sleep decreases.

10.  The tooth is the only part of the human body that cannot repair itself.
