Typically it is but a human being is one of the greatest wonders. Our bodies are being constantly analyzed and studied and

scientists keep making incredible findings almost every day

Did you know that Monday is the most dangerous day for your body? How much information can you remember during your life?

We collected 16 interesting facts about the human body only a few people know about. Remember to hit the like button

Number 16, the brain's memory storage capacity equals 1 petabyte or 1000 terabytes

The human brain is a perfect mechanism as we all know but you can't even imagine to what extent

Texas University scientists discovered that one synapse the space between your onal cells has the storage capacity of 4.7 bits

knowing the whole number of synapses it turns out that the brains memory storage equals 1 petabyte

And it is 10 times more than previously thought. If this volume of memory is present as a graphical file,

it's printed version would be 7.9 inches wide and about 253 billion feet long and it is

1924 lengths of the earth's equator

Number 15 no exercise guarantees abs

Yes, as disappointing as that is, there are numerous cases of people performing exercises for stomach muscles

but they do not get the desired abs

What kind of mystery is this? In fact the visibility of the ABS muscles also depends on body fat percentage

the numbers are different for men and women

the definition is visible with 3-6% of fat for men and 8-12% for women

Number fourteen human bones are several times harder than concrete

Do you know what the strongest bone in your body is? It is the femur. It goes from the hip to the knee

and can withstand up to 1800-2500 pounds of force.

Our bones are made up of composite material, they are hard and elastic at the same time

Bones consist of calcium hydroxyapatite about 60% and collagen so their structure is fracture resistible

Sounds cool, but why so many broken bones then?

Number 13 you need to put out 7700 calories to burn 2.2 pounds

When we are actively slimming, excess fat cells into carbon dioxide into water

Which is accompanied by the release of energy to get rid of 2.2 pounds of fat you need to burn through 7700 calories

that's equivalent to 10 hours of continuous running, 16 hours of swimming or a 24-hour Dance Marathon

Number 12 the total area of your lungs equals to the total area of a tennis court

The structure of this double body part contains air cells. They are bubble formations that take part in the gaseous exchange

If the total area of all lung air cells were summed up

you would get the area of a tennis court and all this fits inside our body

Marvelous!

Number 11 hiccups can last for years

Oh, this one is quite shocking. Can you imagine how it feels to hiccup for years?

Well the American Charles Osborne actually can. He has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records for

continuously hiccupping for 68 years, from 1922 to 1990

Had a family and died at the age of 96

By the way according to the statistic men are more subjected to this trouble than women. How do you like this news?

Number 10 people have more than five senses

Taste sight smell touch and hearing are by far not the only senses we have

Scientists count from 9 to 20 senses by various estimates. Oh my what a surprise

These are the sense of time, though some people seem to be born with the lack of it, thermoception, the sense of warmth

equilibrioception, the sense of balance without which we wouldn't even be able to stand straight and

proprioception understanding the position of one's own parts of the body

That's why we are never mistaken when touching our nose. Well unless something has gone wrong

we just know where it is, even if we see nothing. There is also no susceptance our ability to feel pain

The receptors can be found in our skin and bones and joints and in body organs

Hunger has the right to be included in our system of senses after all and helps us to understand when it's time to eat

Number 9 the eye cornea is the only part that has no blood vessels

Due to having no blood vessels the cornea remains transparent

This is good because their presence would be a barrier to eyesight

This tissue is nourished thanks to the diffusion of elements from the surrounding body structures

Number 8 most kids are born with blue eyes

Most babies have blue eyes when they are born

But if you have always been dreaming of a blue-eyed child

Don't get your hopes up the color tends to change over time

It is explained by melanin which is responsible for the eye colour. The more melanin the cornea has the darker the eyes are

Fair-skinned babies have too small and amount of this coloring

But the color changes during its production so in the end your child might enough with beautiful chocolate colored eyes

Number 7 the embryo can heal the mother

It has been noticed that 50% of women who have

Cardiomyopathy got well during their pregnancy without any healing. The explanation is in the stem cells of the baby

Which are capable of restoring the injured tissues of a woman. So the baby starts to care about their moms already in the womb!

Number 6 women blink twice as often as men

An average person blinks once in every four seconds

But it can even be more often when they are tired worried or surprised

However, it is believed that women blink twice as much as men do. It is considered that the difference is in the hormonal system

Women have a higher level of estrogen. Above all this hormone stimulates the production of natural lubricants

Moisturizing all the mucous membranes including the eye

Number 5 the eyes closed while sneezing so as not to let bacteria in

It is a well-known fact that it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open

Many people think that they cannot open their eyes while sneezing because they will be blown out of the skull. The truth says otherwise

It turns out that it is difficult to sneeze with your eyes wide open, but it is still possible

Your eyes will stay in place

Nevertheless a sneezing person subconsciously closes their eyes to protect them from a possible bacterial invasion

Number 4 you are about 0.4 inches taller in the morning than in the evening

During the day while we are in a vertical position our invertebrate 'old discs become thinner and harder because of the weight pressure

When we sleep the discs return to their regular size and state

That is why you are a bit taller at the beginning of the day

So if you are going to play basketball do it in the morning

Number 3 human ears are capable of hearing molecules

Unbelievable! Well if you want to make sure the fact just close your eyes and ask somebody to pour some cold water into one glass

And some hot water into another. You certainly heard the difference between the sounds didn't you. In both cases ordinary water is used

The difference is in the speed of the molecules

Number 2 the chance of having a heart attack is higher on Monday than on any other weekday

It may sound bizarre but

Swedish scientific research shows that the risk of heart attack is higher on mondays and during the Christmas or New Year holidays

The lowest rates are on Saturdays and in the middle of summer July

Number 1 eyes can have more than one pupil

the issue is called polycoria. If someone has two or more pupils it is more often a fake effect only one hole in the

Cornea does the job of a pupil, all additional holes do not play any role for eyesight

There was a case with a woman from Massachusetts who had five pupils all in one eye

Anyway, that didn't bother her or cause any problems with vision

She just felt slight discomfort when she stayed outside on a bright sunny day

Polycoria is a very rare notion and some scientists even state the existence of several pupils is not true

So which fact did you find the most shocking?
