11.- The body of a child



At birth a child's body has 300 bones, but that of an adult has 206
Is it weird, right? But for all there is an explanation, it is not that the bones disappear, what happens is that when we grow some small bones begin to weld with others, and this process ends between 20 and 25 years, although it must be mentioned that no they are bones proper, but cartilages.


10.- Your nose has memory

7.- The blood vessels



The total length of all the blood vessels in your body is an average of 100,000 kilometers. The heart drives the blood through the circulatory system, which forms a network of about 100,000 kilometers, that is, two and a half times the circumference of the entire planet.

6.- When you blush your stomach also does



The act of blushing is because when we are ashamed, the body releases adrenaline and this acts as a natural stimulant that results in a series of responses. At the moment this happens, not only the veins of your face allow a greater passage of blood, in your stomach the same thing happens. Stomach walls are similarly stimulated by adrenaline causing greater blood flow and causing it to also blush. 

5.- Dehydration



Dehydration begins from the moment you get thirsty

Our brain is probably the organ that most resembles a modern computer. Not only can it process, assimilate and solve various problems, also, thanks to memory, we can store information, use it, access it and interpret it as if it were any USB memory, so it is able to digest food without having to think about it and it is called the second brain.

The human heart pumps 182 million liters of blood all his life
Our heart beats approximately 70 beats per minute, that is, 100,000 times a day and 35 million times a year.
