10 Unique and Interesting Facts about the Human Body and maybe You just Found Out.
Human organs are mainly composed of trillions of cells which are considered as the basic unit of life. Groups of similar cells with the same function form a network. These tissues join together to form organs and form organ systems, which eventually give rise to the individual.
This fact is one of the many facts that have been found in the human body. You should know about other facts about the human body that will be discussed here.
Here are unique facts about the human body that are rarely known.
1. About one liter of saliva is produced every day.
Based on research in the Journal of Medicine and Life edition of July-September 2009, saliva production normally varies between 0.5 to 1.5 liters per day. Saliva helps the body to enjoy the flavors in food by helping to break down food into smaller pieces. It also helps to mash and mix food, making it easier to swallow and digest.
2. Liver can expand and shrink.
As taught in science lessons at school, the liver is an excretory organ whose function is to excrete bile every day. In addition, the liver secretes bile which contains bile salts into the duodenum to digest fat. Well, this means that the role of the liver is very important for the system in our body, friends. Do you know? It turns out that the liver can also expand and shrink, lo. Reporting from Science Alert, the heart will expand half as large when we are awake, or during the day. When night falls, then we have decided to rest and sleep, the heart will shrink back to its original size.
3. There is a New Organ in the Human Body Researchers have recognized that there is a new organ that has actually been in the body for a long time. The organ is called the mesentery, it is hidden in our digestive system. Unfortunately, scientists and researchers do not know for sure the function of the mesentery organ.
4. Discovery of New Lung Functions.
So far we know that the lungs help the human respiratory system, to regulate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. However, scientists discovered that the lungs also have a new function that is related to blood production. This is not a new function of the lungs, but scientists have just realized the function. The lungs were able to produce more than 10 million platelets per hour.
5. The brain can clean itself.
Our brain is the control center for all systems and organs in the body. Did you know, it turns out that the brain also 'cleans' itself when we lack sleep. When a person is sleep deprived, it triggers the brain to clear a large number of neurons and synaptic connections. As a result, lack of sleep can make us less focused, easy to forget, and difficult to concentrate.
6. Intestinal bacteria and their role.
Bacteria in the gut are often associated with the human digestive system, but they can also affect brain disease. It is known, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's turned out to start from the intestines, not in the brain. Parkinson's is a disease of the nervous system that interferes with the body's ability to control movement and balance. The bacteria in our gut control our appetite, which can change the structure of the brain and can even cause a stroke.
7. The resolution of the human eye is 576 megapixels which is better than the high resolution cameras available.
8. Unlike bones and other organs, our teeth are the only part of the body that cannot heal and repair itself.
9. There is a small hole at the bottom of the eyelid. This is called the lacrimal punctum and drains the tears into the nose. This is why you have a cold after crying.
10. Our entire skin surface (epidermis) completely regenerates itself every month, so humans can have about 1,000 different "skins" in a lifetime.
So, those were 10 unique and interesting facts about the human body and maybe you just found out. Of course, there are many other interesting facts about the human body.
