cliaz Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) The Medical Facts: 1. The average red blood cell lives for 120 days. 2. Nerve Impulses travel at over 400 km/hr (250 mi/hr). 3. 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. 4. When you blush, your stomach lining also reddens. 5. The aorta, the largest artery in the body, is almost the diameter of a garden hose. 6. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour - about 1.5 pounds a year. By 70 years of age, an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin. 7. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Guest Sores Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 6. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour - about 1.5 pounds a year. By 70 years of age, an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin. I was cleaning behind the very large dust collector I call my TV the other night and told my daughter that most house dust is human skin. She was not excited to learn that.
