amazing fact about the HUMAN BODY
From the stable of the hall of champions
1. If you could save all the times
your eyes blink in one life time
and use them all at once, you
would see blackness for 1.2 years!
2. The life span of a taste bud is
ten days.
3.The average red blood cell lives
for 120 days and can
circumnavigate your body in less
than 20 seconds.
4. The nerve impulses of the body
travel at over 400 km/hr.
5. A sneeze generates a wind of
166 km/hr (100 mph), and a
cough moves out at 100 km/hr (60
mph).
6. Our heart beats around 10,000
times every day or about 30
million times a year.
7. Our blood is on a 60,000-mile
journey per day.
8. Our eyes can distinguish up to
ten million colour surfaces and
take in more information than the
largest telescope known to man.
9. Our lungs inhale over two
million litres of air every day.
Their surface area is large enough
to cover one side of a tennis
court!
10. We give birth to over 200
billion red cells every day.
11. The human body is between
50 to 75% water.
12. We make around 1 to 1.6
litres of saliva a day.
13. Our nose is our personal air-
conditioning system; it warms
cold air, cools hot air, and filters
impurities.
14. In one square inch of our
hand, we have nine feet of blood
vessels, 600 pain sensors, 9000
nerve endings, 36 heat sensors
and 75 pressure sensors.
How amazing the human body is!
God created it to be so; no
wonder the Psalmist said: “… you
shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s
womb. I thank you, High God--
you’re breathtaking! Body and
soul, I am marvelously made! I
worship in adoration--what a
creation! You know me inside and
out, you know every bone in my
body; You know exactly how I was
made, bit by bit, how I was
sculpted from nothing into
something” (Psalm 139:13-15).
