37 Amazing Things You Didn’t Know About Your Own Body (Part 1)

Education 5 Minutes

You’ll have a brand-new skeleton in 10 years.

Your skeletal system’s cells are constantly regenerating and, on average, the bones you have now will have completely regenerated in about a decade’s time. This does start to slow down as you age, however, with regeneration taking longer, causing bones to naturally become thinner.You’re taller in the morning than you are at night.It might seem like a tall tale, but when you wake up in the morning, you’re actually a tiny bit taller than you were when you went to bed. This is due to the pressure put on joints throughout the day.As you go about your activities, this pressure causes the cartilage in your spine to compress—just fractions of an inch, but enough to push everything down. As you relax in your sleep, it eases the pressure on your spinal disks, thus allowing you to return to your full height.Your sweat is actually odorless.If you think sweat stinks, you wouldn’t be alone—but you would be incorrect. Sweat itself doesn’t smell. It’s the interaction with bacteria on your skin that causes body odor. Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal. These bacteria occur naturally and just happen to thrive in the sweatiest regions of our body.You have over 60,000 miles of blood vessels.If it sounds overwhelming, that’s because it kind of is. While individual blood vessels are relatively small, the amount found within the average adult body tallies up in some pretty impressive ways. If laid out in a straight line, the entire network would stretch well over 60,000 miles. That’s including all arteries, capillaries, and veins, end-to-end.Like lizards, we also shed our skin.

OK, so it’s not quite as intense as when it happens to a lizard or to a snake but it is just as creepy. According to the American Chemical Society, humans shed their entire outer layer of skin every two to four weeks. That’s about 500 million skin cells a day!

Babies don’t have kneecaps.

You’d think that our kneecaps would be a necessary part of the human body. Not for babies, who aren’t born with them. Instead, their cartilage gradually turns into bone, as ossification begins between the ages of two and six years—and doesn’t fully finish until young adulthood.

Your stomach growls because it’s full of hot air.

Ever wonder why you experience those grumbly, growly sounds when hungry? It all circles back to the digestive system. More specifically, the intestines. These guys go through a series of contractions to help move food and liquid along when eating. But even after all the food is digested, the intestines continue to move air through the digestive tract. That’s what causes “borborygmus,” the scientific name assigned to those funny little rumbles.

Your bones are stronger than steel.

While many of us experience a broken bone at some point in life, the fact is that bone is an incredibly tough substance. So strong, in fact, that, as Discover puts it, “ounce for ounce, our bones are stronger than steel.”  A bone has a greater pressure tolerance and bearing strength than a rod of steel of the same width. The strongest bone in the body is the femur, which can support 30 times the body weight of an average person.

Throughout your life, you will produce enough saliva to fill up two pools.

The average human produces over 20,000 liters of saliva throughout their lifetime. That’s enough to eventually fill up two swimming pools full of spit.  If you think that sounds like a long time, just remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day, either.

Your feet contain a quarter of your bones.

Human feet contain 52 bones (26 for each foot). That’s nearly a quarter of all the bones in your whole body! Each also contains 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

The smallest bone in your body is in your ear.

No named bone in your body is smaller (or lighter) than the stapes, a bone in the middle ear that’s actually shaped like a stirrup. It’s complete with a base and an oval window, which is covered with a membrane that measures sound vibrations.

You lose almost one-third of your bones as you age.

As it turns out, there are quite a few things you didn’t know about your body—including how many bones you have. According to the doctors over at the Cleveland Clinic, you’re born with about 300 bones, but as you grow, some fuse together as cartilage ossifies, eventually leaving you with 206 bones by the time you stop growing (once you’ve reached young adulthood).

There are no muscles in your fingers.

Your fingers do countless important things throughout the day, from opening jars to opening doors. But don’t chalk up those feats of strength to your fingers. Any movement that happens in your fingers is due to tendons and bones, with a lot of help from the muscles in the palms of your hands and at the base of each individual digit.

Half your hand strength is in your pinkie.

The pinkie seems unassuming, but it’s crucial for your hand strength—helping the thumb to pinch and giving more power to the ring, middle, and index fingers.

Laurie Rogers, hand therapist at National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, told The New York Times that losing your pinkie would mean, “You’d lose 50 percent of your hand strength, easily.”

Your tongue is the only muscle that doesn’t join two bones.

Every muscle in the human body connects to bones at both ends, allowing it to pull and create motion, with one notable exception: your tongue. On one end, it’s connected to your hyoid bone—part of your neck—but nothing else on the other side.

Your rear is your largest muscle.

While there is some debate about which of your muscles is the strongest, your gluteus maximus happens to be your largest, according to the Library of Congress. These muscles help keep your body upright, move your hips and thighs, and work against gravity when you’re walking uphill or upstairs.  The fact that they make your jeans look great is just a bonus.

We’re as hairy per square inch as chimpanzees.

It turns out we’re just as hairy as chimps. According to a 2011 paper published in the International Journal of Trichology, we have the same number of hairs as chimps, even if the hair itself is much finer, making it harder to see and creating a lower volume of hair overall.

Roller coasters can “toss” your organs.

You know that sinking feeling you get when on a roller coaster? Turns out, it might be a little something more than the adrenalin. According to experts, these rides can achieve speeds fast enough to actually toss your internal organs around. We’re talking brain, heart, eyes, blood vessels, and more.  Don’t worry, the acceleration isn’t enough to do any harm (unless you have a preexisting condition). It’s just enough to leave you feeling a little queasy.

Hair can “taste.”

Here’s a fun human body fact: Your nasal passages and lungs are lined with fine hairs, or cilia, that detect and sweep out impurities. How do they detect it? By sensing the bitter tastes of the things passing through them (such as, say, nicotine).  When these hairs taste something bitter, they increase their rate of movement, attempting to sweep out the bad stuff, according to a 2009 study published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Hair knows when you sleep.

Your hair helps the environment.

Dirty hair can be good for the atmosphere: According to a 2008 study published in Atmospheric Environment, hair absorbs the air pollutant ozone. Scalp oils were found to be a major contributor to this, so if you want to do your part to help your local air quality, skip the shampoo!

  1. Good morning, Miss Pat, This is a fascinating topic – and it’s proof of GOD’s brilliance, and creation of all that is – the DNA in cells – particularly the human cell dictates the development of the human body and each person’s uniqueness. Can’t change any of it – despite the woke crowd’s manic delusions.

    Today is a big day – have to pack and move out of the Village Lodge – they need the room for a big group – probably Tres Dias that will take place at Camp Suwannee, also on the Advent Christian Village campus.

    Then I need to finish installing the straps on the two remaining wheelchairs and move all the sewing stuff out of the apartment next door to Sally’s – they have a new resident moving in on the 27th.

    I’ll be going home some time today – probably after Lunch.

    Hope everyone has a really good day! GOD bless us everyone!

    That’s an interesting article about Netflix and Cleopatra.
    Egypt Sues Netflix For Falsely Depicting Cleopatra As a Black Woman

    The streaming giant has angered a lot of people by portraying the famous Queen of the Nile as a black woman. The problem with that is Cleopatra was not black… and Egypt is pissed and now, they’re suing Netflix.

    …in reality, Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which descended from Ptolemy I, a Macedonian Greek general who served under Alexander the Great.

    …Calling for the Netflix production team to be punished for participating in a “crime” against Egypt and its culture, Egyptian lawyer Mahmoud al-Semary argued that the recently-released trailer promotes a divisive Afrocentrism.

    …Former Egyptian Antiquities Minister Zahi Hawass condemned the production last week for “falsifying facts,” pointing out that “Cleopatra was Greek, meaning that she was blonde, not black.”

    Calling on Egyptians to speak out against Netflix’s revisionism, Hawass excoriated the trend that has emerged in some American black populations of claiming the Egyptian civilization actually came from black Africa.

    “Netflix is trying to stir up confusion to spread false information that the origin of Egyptian civilization is black,” he said, insisting such claims were categorically false.

    We should not be re-writing history. This is disinformation and lies.

    Just tell the truth, and stop trying to score “woke” points with this nonsense.

    Here is a portrayal of what Cleopatra might have looked like:

    Agreed.

    Those focused on the vaxx/no vaxx may be getting led down a path away from and distracted away from the real issue.

    That issue is why was the COVID operation conducted in the first place?

    Stay focused on that and don’t allow yourself to be distracted away from that initial issue.

    We the People were attacked. It was a premeditated attack. See Event 201 if you need more info. It was not just the American citizens who were attacked. Citizens across the globe were attacked by this invisible enemy.

    Why?

    There were uprisings across the globe at the time.

    In the USA it was the MAGA movement, in England it was BREXIT, in France it was the Yellow Vest movement, in Hong Kong there were uprisings against their govt. I’m sure there were more. This is just a quick list. Those here from other parts of the world can add to this list.

    That invisible enemy used the COVID virus and associated COVID narrative to tamp down those uprisings. It’s not about the virus. It’s about power and control. The virus and associated Plandemic were just tools used for this particular power and control operation.

    President Trump was fighting an enemy most don’t even see. After all the attacks on him, some still don’t see who the enemy really is. If you want to know who the enemy is, don’t look at President Trump. Look at those who are attacking him.

    They should be pretty easy to identify because he is drawing fire from all directions.

    Peace to all and MAGA.

    FTA
    The Biden administration’s Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief is under investigation for allegedly handing no-bid contracts worth millions of dollars to previous colleagues, The Associated Press reported Thursday, citing sources familiar with the probe.

    The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General is conducting the investigation after at least a dozen employees, including some of DEA Administrator Anne Milgram’s previous associates, were hired under the contracts, according to the AP. One portion of the probe centers around $4.7 million for “strategic planning and communication” contracts handed to Milgram’s previous colleagues from the New Jersey attorney general’s office and at New York University, where she served as a professor, that exceeded the pay for government employees.

    “Some of these deals look very swampy,” Scott Amey, general counsel of the nonpartisan Project on Government Oversight, said of the months-long probe, according to the AP.

    The work the associates have been tasked with involves handling intelligence, data analytics, community outreach and public relations, according to the AP.

    One of the contracts went to Milgram’s previous state director of gangs, guns and violent crime when she served as New Jersey attorney general, Jose Cordero, a veteran New York City police official, according to the AP. Within weeks of starting her job at the DEA, Milgram gave Cordero a data analysis crime stats contract now worth roughly $400,000.

    “Contracts should never be awarded based on who you know,” Amey said, according to the AP.

    Most recently, a Florida grand jury revealed the extent to which adult border crossers pose as UACs in the hopes of being released into the U.S. interior:

    We received testimony and saw photographs and other evidence regarding other adults masquerading as UACs, including men and women ranging in age from 27 to 37. [The Department of Health and Human Services] discovered 105 children the agency later determined were actually adults during fiscal year 2021 alone [emphasis added].

    …

    The adults posing as children were simply taken out of the facility and released, as one manager put it, ‘into the wild’ [Emphasis added].

    Since President Joe Biden took office, a quarter of a million UACs have been resettled with sponsors across American communities. The majority, 64 to 66 percent, are boys, and 72 percent of all UACs are 15 to 18 years old. Only 15 to 16 percent are babies, toddlers, and pre-teens.

    With great fanfare, the State Department has now kicked off the Welcome Corps.

    “The Department of State, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, is pleased to announce the creation of the Welcome Corps, a new private sponsorship program that empowers everyday Americans to play a leading role in welcoming refugees arriving through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and supporting their resettlement and integration as they build new lives in the United States. Over the past year, the American people have extended an extraordinarily welcoming hand to our Afghan allies, Ukrainians displaced by war, and Venezuelans and others fleeing violence and oppression. The Welcome Corps will build on Americans’ generosity of spirit by creating a durable program for Americans in communities across the country to privately sponsor refugees from around the world. The Welcome Corps is the boldest innovation in refugee resettlement in four decades.”

    On the one hand, one can sympathize with the motive behind this claim: to give sub-Saharan Africans a source of pride, to present them as one of the first great civilizations.

    On the other hand, you cannot warp the truth — that is, foist a lie — without negative consequences.

    Those who claim ancient Egypt was Black commit precisely that one sin they supposedly most abhor: cultural appropriation. Ancient Egypt was Egyptian; to claim otherwise, to attribute its achievements to another race or people, is not just an unconscious but very conscious form of cultural appropriation.

    Little wonder not a few Egyptians are vexed. One prominent lawyer is even suing Netflix for “blackwashing history.”

  27. “Emory Healthcare Refuses Transplant for End Stage Kidney Patient”
    Apr 20, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to Emory Healthcare, Inc. on behalf of a 41-year-old Georgia woman who desperately needs a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet has been refused a religious or medical accommodation because she will not take the COVID-19 shot. Liberty Counsel requests action on this woman’s case and a written response from Emory Healthcare no later than April 30, 2023 to avoid further legal action.

    She is a mother who homeschools her seven young children. She suddenly developed end stage kidney disease and has been on dialysis three days a week. She was referred to the Emory transplant center in Georgia by her nephrologist. After her consultation with a nurse practitioner from Emory, this woman was deemed “an acceptable candidate” for transplant and could proceed without having the COVID shot. However, after another consultation with additional hospital personnel, the evaluation process was stopped when a social worker told her they could not continue if she did not plan on receiving the COVID shot.

    Now Emory Healthcare has refused to put her on the active waiting list to receive a kidney because her sincerely held religious beliefs prevent her from taking the COVID shots, all of which are associated with aborted fetal cells.

    In addition, due to her prior bout with COVID, her recent antibody test shows her immunity is higher than most people who have received a two-dose series of Pfizer and much higher than most vaccinated individuals who are more than 90 days post vaccination.

    The results of severe adverse events from the COVID shots continue to be revealed. In fact, Dr. Ryan Cole, a Mayo-trained board-certified pathologist and owner of the largest independent diagnostics laboratory in Idaho, is finding an alarming number of large blood clots that have appeared since the COVID shot rollout and seem to be present only in those people who have received the injection. The blood clots are not what one would normally think of a clot. Rather than a small clot the size of a BB or larger, these clots are long, worm-like, and some stretch for several inches or even up to several feet long. Cole Diagnostics processes and reports out approximately 40,000 blood and biopsy patient samples annually. Dr. Cole’s lab is able to determine the difference between a spike protein caused by the virus and a spike protein caused by the COVID shots, which are demonstrably different and much more pronounced and serious.

    As a result, many people who have received the COVID shots are now experiencing myocarditis and other heart issues.

    Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Emory Healthcare is violating the oath of all medical professionals to ‘first do no harm.’ It is also unconscionable to deny anyone a religious or medical accommodation from an experimental injection, especially for someone who needs an organ transplant. Emory should be ashamed of its actions and reverse this unreasonable policy. These shots are neither safe nor effective and are all associated with aborted fetal cells. Emory needs to do the right action immediately and allow this woman to receive the kidney she needs to save her life.”

    Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office is reviewing information regarding the Red Cross after a Daily Caller News Foundation report found that the organization had guides for migrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, he revealed exclusively to the DCNF in a sit-down interview.

    Paxton noted that his office has yet to open any formal investigation into the matter, telling the DCNF that his team is “starting to gather facts and determine whether that is something we need to dedicate some of our resources to it.” The DCNF obtained the guides in February that showed routes to the U.S. border and provided a paper on what to do when encountering the dangers along the trip. (RELATED: NBC Retracts Story About Migrant Minor Who Turned Out To Be An Adult)

    The American Red Cross sits on the board of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Food and Shelter program that hands millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funding to nonprofit groups supporting migrants released into the U.S. interior.

    “If you use contraceptives methods, don’t forget to bring them with you. In necessary cases, some Red Cross’ clinics and medical brigades will give them to you for free,” one of the Red Cross documents states.

    Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sits down with Daily Caller News Foundation investigative reporter Jennie Taer

    Paxton noted a probe his office opened in 2022 into the Texas State Bar Foundation, alleging the organization is “facilitating” the surge in illegal immigration at the Southern border by knowingly donating to groups that “encourage, participate in, and fund illegal immigration at the Texas-Mexico border, and potentially using taxpayer dollars received from the State Bar of Texas.”

    “We’re concerned about that,” Paxton told the DCNF.

    “We have the authority to oversee charitable organizations in our state and investigate them if we see any type of corruption or wrongdoing. And so we’re definitely open to looking at any nonprofit that we have some type of information that suggests that they’re violating federal or state law,” he added.

    The State Bar of Texas responded to the accusations at the time, saying “partisan political considerations play no role in determining whether to pursue a grievance or how that grievance proceeds through the system.”
