Hello guys nd girls u must have
read very astonishing facts......
......But take a break nd have a
look below nd get astonished

1. The stomach’s digestive acids
are strong enough to dissolve
zinc. Fortunately for us, the cells
in the stomach lining renew so
quickly that the acids don’t have
time to dissolve it.
2. The lungs contain over
300,000 million capillaries (tiny
blood vessels). If they were laid
end to end, they would stretch
2400km (1500 miles).
3. A mans testicles manufacture
10 million new sperm cells each
day– enough that he could
repopulate the entire planet in
only 6 months!
4. Human bone is as strong as
granite in supporting weight. A
block of bone the size of a
matchbox can support 9 tonnes
–that is four times as much as
concrete can support.
5. Each finger and toe nail takes
six months to grow from base to
tip.
6. The largest organ in the body
is the skin. In an adult man it
covers about 1.9m2 (20sq ft).
The skin constantly flakes away–
in a lifetime each person sheds
around 18kg (40 lb) of skin.
7. When you sleep, you grow by
about 8mm (0.3in). The next day
you shrink back to your former
height. The reason is that your
cartilage discs are squeezed like
sponges by the force of gravity
when you stand or sit.
8. The average person in the
West eats 50 tonnes of food and
drinks 50,000 liters (11,000
gallons) of liquid during his life.
9. Each kidney contains 1 million
individual filters. They filter an
average of around 1.3 liters (2.2
pints) of blood per minute, and
expel up to 1.4 liters (2.5 pints) a
day of urine.
10. The focusing muscles of the
eyes move around 100,000 times
a day. To give your leg muscles
the same workout, you would
need to walk 80km (50 miles)
every day.
11. In 30 minutes, the average
body gives off enough heat
(combined) to bring a half gallon
of water to boil.
12. A single human blood cell
takes only 60 seconds to make a
complete circuit of the body.
13. A foreskin, the size of a
postage stamp, from circumcised
babies take only 21 days to grow
skin that can cover three (3)
basketball courts. Amazing isn’t
it. Thanks to science. The
laboratory-grown skin is used in
treating burn patients.
14. The eyes receive
approximately 90 percent of all
our information, making us
basically visual creatures.
15. The female ovaries contain
nearly half-a-million egg cells, yet
only 400 or so will ever get the
opportunity to create a new life.
