[Last day, I promise. I just revel in the miracle of life and how God made the amazing human body]
1. The strongest muscle in the human body is in the jaw.
2. Coincidently, the hardest bone in the human body is the jaw.
3. The fingernail on your middle finger grows the fastest. [Do not hold it up to show your co-workers]
4. We have only 6 muscles that control the eyeball, 12 muscles to smile, 11 muscles to frown and 200+ muscles to take a single step.
5. The esophagus in about 10 inches long. It takes 8 seconds for food to travel its length.
6. Your body creates 2,500,000 red blood cells every second.
7. While the average human head weighs 10 pounds, the average brain weighs only 3. [obviously a lot of wasted space up there]
8. The largest blood vessel (your aorta) is the diameter of a garden hose. The smallest vessels (capillaries) are so small it takes ten of them to equal the width of a single hair.
9. There are 2,600,000 sweat glands on the body, with more concentrated on the soles of your feet than anywhere else.
10. If uncoiled, the DNA in all your cells would stretch from here to Pluto (about 10,000,000,000 miles)
