Craziest Facts About your Body

 Craziest Facts About your Body

1)Your Hand Can Have A Mind On Its Own!

 The ‘idle hand’ which referred to as the ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’ is an unusual neurological disorder in which the sufferer’s hand seems to take on a mind of its own. This is due to the damage in the medial motor frontal region of the brain and often occurs after a brain surgery, a stroke or an infection of the brain.
The sufferer has no control over the movements of the ‘alien hand’ nor will they have any conscience idea on what that hand is doing. The person suffering from this condition can often feel disconnected with their hand, and feel as if it was not part of their body.
When the suffer is unaware the alien hand can sometime act out complex movements like unbuttoning clothing, using tools or even tearing pieces of clothing. There are no know treatments or cure for ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’ however the best solution is to give this alien hand an object it can play with to keep it distracted from doing anything harmful to the sufferer.




 2)You Could Remove A Large Part of Your Internal Organs and Survive!

 
While the human body may appear fragile, your body is stronger than you could possibly imagine. It is possible for you to survive even after the removal of the spleen, the stomach, one kidney, one lung, 75% of the liver, 80% of the intestines, and almost every organ from the pelvic and groin area.








3)You Can Still Have An Erection After Death!

This is a death erection, which often being referred to as ‘angel lust’. It is a post-mortem erection that occurs when a male individual dies vertically or face-downside and as long as the body remains in this position, the effect will not subside.
How It Could Possibly Happen........?
When a man is still alive, the heart pumps blood evenly around the body. When he dies, this mechanism stops and the blood acts by the force of gravity. As with any mass, the blood will settle at the lowest point of the body and cause swelling. So if a man dies vertically, the blood will settle in the legs and collect at the feet.
The pressure will cause the blood vessels and tissues in the feet to swell up to accommodate as much blood as possible. As blood collects, it will fill up to the torso and the blood will attempt to move to a lower position due to gravity, which is the penis (the legs are full by now). The blood causes the penis, consisting of erectile tissue, to fill with blood and expand.


4) Heart Attacks Are More Likely To Happen On Monday! :)


A 10-year study in Scotland found that 20% of people die of a heart attack on Monday’s compare to any other day of the week. The study suggests that the ‘Monday peak’ could be a result of massive drinking during the weekend and work related stress; you know the ‘Monday blues.’






5) Babies Have More Bones Than You Do! WHY??
                                                                    

When a baby is born, they have 300 bones in their body. When they reach adulthood they are left with only 206 bones. This is because the smaller bones eventually join together to form stronger single bones.









6) Your Hair Is Almost Indestructible!

 Apart from having it burnt, human hair decays at such a slow rate that it is almost impossible to get rid of. Do you remember those documentaries about Egypt, the pyramids and Mummies on Discovery Channel? Well the mummies are left with no flesh, practically nothing but bones and yes… hair. It might look fragile but hair cannot be destroyed by cold, change of climate, water, or other natural forces and it is resistant to many kinds of acids and corrosive chemicals.




7) You Can Survive Without Food But Not Without Sleep!

       You need sleep as much as you need food. Many people neglect the importance of having enough sleep without knowing that humans can actually survive longer without food than without sleep. With water alone, an average person could survive a month to two without food (that also varies from an individual’s body fat and other factors).
But a few sleepless nights will cause the person to start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes. The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 264 hours. Randy Gardner at the end of which the experiment did not stumble or hallucinate but  scientist  has said that any more sleepless nights than that is dangerous.


 
 TINY TEETH!
   
  Unlike your heart or brain , your teeth weren't ready to work from the day you were born. Although babies
have the beginning of their first teeth even before they are born, teeth don't become visible until babies are about 6 to 12 months old.

  After that first breaks through , more and more teeth begin to appear. Most kids have their first set of teeth
by the time they are 3 years old. These are called the primary or baby teeth and there are 20 in all. When a child gets to age 5 or 6 , these teeth starts falling out , one by one.

 There are 28 permanent teeth in all.- eight more than original set of baby teeth. Between  the ages of 17and 21,Four more teeth called Wisdom Teeth Usually grow in at the back of the mouth. They complete the adult set of 32 teeth.


 22 FEET ISN'T SMALL AT ALL??
 
   The small INTESTINE is a long tube that's about 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches ( about 3.5 to 5 centimeters)
around,and its packed inside you beneath your stomach. If you stretched out an adult's small intestine , it would be about 22 feet long ( 6.7meters) - thats like 22 notebooks notebooks lined up end to end , all in a row.

   The small intestine breaks down the food mixtures even more so your body can absorb all the vitamins,minerals,proteins,carbohydrates, and fats. The chicken on your pizza is full of proteins- and a little fat-and the small intestine can help extract them with a little help from three friends: and the gallbladder serves as a warehouse for bile , storing it until the body needs it.


THAT'S ONE LARGE INTESTINE??
 
At 3 or 4 inches around ( about 7 to 10 centimeters), the larger intestine is fatter than small intestine and its almost the last stop on the digestive system tract. Like the small intestine, it is packed into the body, and would measure 5 feet ( about 1.5 meters) long if you spread it out.















TASTE GREAT!!!

 
Most people just think of the tongue when they think about taste. But you couldn't taste anything without some help from the nose.! The ability to smell and taste to together because odors from foods allow us to taste more fully.
 Take a bite of food and think about now it tastes. Then pinch your nose and take another bite. Notice the difference? It's just another reason  to appreciate your knockout of a nose.




BOOGERS- hey! get your finger outta there! instead of picking them out ! lets learn about those blobs. YEAH! ., were talking about BOOGERS!. To understand what boogers are you need to know about mocus. Mucus is the sticky one. Slimy stuff that's made inside your nose. If you're like lot of kids, you have another name of nose mucus: snot your nose and sinuses make about a quart ( about 1 liter) of snot every day.


If you have  to get rod of boogers, your best  bet is to " BLOW" 'em... out of your nose and into a tissue. Picking your nose isn't a great idea because boogers contain lots of germs and because poking around in your nose can make it bleed.


 AHHHHH--CHOOOOOO!!!!


 If you just sneezed, something was probably irritating or tickling the inside or your nose. Sneezing also called
STERNUTATION., is your body's way of removing an irritation from your nose.
When the inside of your nose gets a tickle, a message is sent to a special part of your brain called the sneeze center. The sneeze center then sends a message to all the muscle that have to work together to create the amazingly complicated process that we call sneeze.
 "Some of the muscles involved are the abdominal ( belly ) muscle. the diaphragm ( the large muscle beneath your lungs that makes you breathe), the muscle that control your vocal cords, and muscle in the back of your throat. Don't forget the eyelid muscles! Did you know that you always close your eyes when you sneeze?

It is the job of the sneeze center to make all these muscles work together, in just the right order, to send that irritation flying out of your nose. And Fly it does - sneezing can send tiny particles speeding out of your nose at up to 100 miles per hour!.

  Most anything that can irritate the inside of your nose can start a sneeze. Some common things include dust,cold,air, or pepper. When you catch a cold in your nose , a virus has made a temporarily home there and is causing lots a swelling and irritation. Some people have allergies , and they sneeze when they are exposed to certain things , such as animal ( which comes from the skin of many common pets) or pollen ( which comes from some plants).

 Do you know anyone who sneeze when they step outside into the sunshine?? about one out of every three people sneezes when exposed to bright light. They are called PHOTIC sneezers. If you are a photic sneezers, most people have some sensitivity to light that can trigger a sneeze.






BLOGGER! - HAVE YOU EVER HAD THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SNEEZE, BUT IT JUST GET'S STUCK? NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS,TRY LOOKING TOWARD A BRIGHT LIGHT BRIEFLY ( BUT DON'T LOOK RIGHT INTO THE SUN) - SEE IF THAT DOESN'T A UNSTICK STUCK SNEEZE!
