Do you know yourself that much? If you think you know yourself what do you know about yourself? Have you ever wondered what people may think if they finally find out what they are made of; knowing yourself is good and it will help you much and also helps your health because not all foods are good for your health during a particular period of time. If you study biology in your high school/secondary school days then you will probably get to know few things about yourself. Without wasting much further time let's get started.


Do you know how many bones and skeletal muscle are present in the human body? If no then here we go, Science makes us to know that an adult skeleton has more than 206 bones holding his skeletal structure together. And also it is believed that the human body has more than 600 individual skeletal muscles functioning in the human body.

Can you count the hair in your head? The answer is "NO" but science makes it possible for us to know that the average human hair has an average of 100,000 hairs.

Do you know how the kidneys in your body function? No is the answer but science makes it possible for us to know that the kidney contain at least 1 million individual filters. And do you know do you know the functions of the filter? NO. The filter is responsible for the filtering of 1.5 liters of blood per minutes and expel up to 1.4 liters of urine daily.

Another interesting fact about the human body is that a new born baby skull contains gaps between its bony plates where as in an adult the jagged plates interlock tightly like a jigsaw puzzle.

The skin of the human body contain approximately 640,000 sense receptors scattered unevenly over the body surface, these receptor are most abundant in the ridges of the fingertips in the lips at the tip of the tongue in the palms, on the soles of the feet, and in the genital.

The lungs in the human body contain over 300 million capillaries (tiny blood vessels) and if all this blood tiny blood vessels were to be laid end to end they would stretch up to 240km and that is approximately 150 miles.
In the human body hundreds of billions of neurons carry electrical signals that control the spinal cord.
Another thing is that the female ovaries contain nearly half a million egg cells yet only 400 of those eggs or so will ever get the opportunity to create a new life.
