    Post Interesting general info about the human body

    - Our heart beats around 100,000 times every day.

    - Our blood is on a 60,000-mile journey.

    - Our eyes can distinguish up to one million color surfaces and take
    in more information than the largest telescope known to man.

    - Our lungs inhale over two million liters of air every day, without even
    thinking. They are large enough to cover a tennis court.

    - Our hearing is so sensitive it can distinguish between hundreds of
    thousands of different sounds.

    - Our sense of touch is more refined than any device ever created.

    - Our brain is more complex than the most powerful computer and has
    over 100 billion nerve cells.

    - We give birth to 100 billion red cells every day.

    - When we touch something, we send a message to our brain at
    124 mph.

    - We have over 600 muscles.

    - We exercise at least 30 muscles when we smile.

    - We are about 70 percent water.

    - We make one liter of saliva a day.

    - Our nose is our personal air-conditioning system: it warms cold air, cools
    hot air and filters impurities.

    - 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.
