The heart beats about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.

If all arteries, veins, and capillaries of the human circulatory system were laid end to end, the total length would be 60,000 miles, or 100,000 km. That’s nearly two and a half times around the Earth!

Human hair grows about 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) every month and keeps on growing for up to 6 years. The hair then falls out and another grows in its place.

The fastest growing hair in the human body is the facial hair (beards)

Women’s heart beat faster than men’s.

The strongest organ in our body is the tongue.

The left lung is smaller than the right.

About 80 percent of the brain tissue is water.

The brain is only 2% of our body weight, but needs more oxygen that any other organ, what makes it the most vulnerable in a case of lack of oxygen. 7 seconds without oxygen to the brain will result in passing out. 4 minutes will result in death.

The brain can hold up to 1,00 terabytes of information – which is equivalent to 15 national libraries!

The brain is more active at night than in the day.

A dream lasts for just 2- 3 seconds.

The lifespan of the hair is 3-7 years. Some authors say 3 to 6 years.

The strongest muscles in the body are the heart, uterus, soleus, gluteus maximus, and masseter. Some authors say the tongue is the strongest muscle.

That's so me

My health is intact thanks for the enlightenment

I learnt so many new things. Thank you

The female left breast is only larger than the right if the female is left handed tho, if not the right breast is larger

Dear Atheists,
How can you say "There is No God"
Just look at this miraculous complex machine called Human Body and still say
There is no God
Even doctors after many years are still doing research and discovering new things about the human body.
Science are always baffled at how the human body operates..
Because Doctors know that A Creator Designed each complex part of the Body.
Each organ has different cells but are still in harmony and connected to each other. Feeding each other and sharing the nutrients to every cell in the body.
This is how heaven was designed, each community in heaven share with each other and they each have different role and function but they all connected just like organs have different functions
Why can't mankind learn from the human body??!
Our planet earth is a body and we humans are the trillions of cells that are inside the body.
We die and multiply everyday just like cells inside us die and multiply everyday..
We are different by race,religions and culture just like liver cell are TOTALLY different from kidney cell and both are located in different areas of the body as we humans are located in different parts of this world but the heart will always pump blood and nutrients to the kidney for support no matter the distance b/w them.
we humans need to be connected and HELP each other just like the cells in our body..
We share so many similarities with the cells of our body. We should learn from them because
We fight wars just like the cells in our body fight and defend their territory from bacteria (foreign invaders).
If the liver stops working, then the kidney will fail then the other organs join and shut down which brings death of the grand human body(the nation)
Cancer is caused when an organ is not in co operation with other organs just like humans it becomes isolated and form rebel groups just like humans do( Isis, boko haram)
These cancer cells(rebels) destroy the human body just like rebels destroy the nation with war attacks..

If trillions of different cells can coexist in harmony the make up a HEALTHY HUMAN BODY(peaceful nation)
Imagine if the cells of the heart collect 100% nutrients and only share only 5% to the rest of the cells of body As a result these cells turn cancerous and stop working with each other in harmony you will have a DIS- EASE or DIS-UNITY between the organs. Thus a SICK HUMAN BODY..(a nation in war and crisis)
God Created Human Body with his image, that image is for all his creations with their unique talents and contributions to Come Together and Coexist in Harmony. Only then will Earth and mankind experience PEACE!!!

Awesome read

Nice facts.

Fun Fact
Pus..sy sweet

how is this fun fact?

Oh blimey!
"Women’s heart beat faster than men’s" especially when they are about to cheat on u!

Ok

And 24-72 hours after death
— the internal organs decompose. 3-5 days after death
— the body starts to bloat and blood-containing foam leaks from the mouth and nose.
8-10 days after death
— the body turns from green to red as the blood decomposes and the organs in the abdomen accumulate gas.

And some fools will say their's no God.... Indeed you're AWESOME GOD!!!

How can a dream last for just 2 to 3 secs? So last night dream when i was banging njideka for almost 3 hours was just 2 to 3 secs?

How can there be 3 bones in each ear? This same ear i am feeling and squeezing right now, what do you mean?

Thanks for the lectures this evening at least it's better than all these Bbnaija News

Humans

Strongest muscle in man body- Preek

I don't believe that the beards is the fastest growing hair in the human body...20 years old and not even a strand of beard��

why did you repeat number of muscles in the human body? You well so?

Knowledge is power

Nice

Human hair grows about 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) every month and keeps on growing for up to 6 years. The hair then falls out and another grows in its place.

So tell me about people with long hair or Dada (dreads).

The female left breast is larger than the right

Likewise male testicles (ballz)

SultanOfAbia:
How can someone see this miraculous complex machine called Human Body and still say
There is no God
Even doctors know that A Creator Designed each complex part of the Body

agreed there is God. But is the God described in religions books real

Now, this is the kind of thread we need here. Not all these BBNaija threads that adds no value to people.

In this generation, nobody regards the human body anymore. It who you are, what you know, and what you can provide for them they cherish only.

The greatest engineer, God.
