Super abilities of the body that you don't know

Ear distinguishes the temperature, stomach regeneration twice a week . are "unimaginable" capabilities of our body parts.

We often assume that breathing or eating is obvious so it is somewhat distracting for our body. However, hidden beneath the surface, our body is a machine that is operating non-stop with complicated tasks.

Let's take a few minutes to learn about the miracles of our own body through the article below.

1. All parts of the body are able to taste and smell

Tasting and smelling are not just the activities of the facial parts. For decades, scientists have shown that all parts of the body such as the kidneys, heart, spine, respiratory organs or even blood cells carry out these functions.

This may sound like a horror movie but it's true: your whole body is experiencing the world at its fullest.

For example, with two kidneys on the body, besides controlling the rate of dialysis, the kidneys must also perform the task of filtering urine. The same thing happens with blood cells.

In an experiment, scientists found that when placing a blood cell close to a chemical odorant, the cell tends to move closer to the scent it feels.

However, things are even more strange for sperm. Billions of sperm are capable of sniffing the scent of eggs in the female body, so they come to the nest and the babies are born.

2. The ear also has the ability to distinguish temperature

Each of our ears has a strange texture. They include folds and partitions in different positions.

However, this is no coincidence that is the result of evolution throughout human history so that sound can lead to the ear most accurately.

Besides that miraculous ability, our ears can also distinguish the temperature. The results of a study showed that 96% of respondents correctly answered that they could distinguish the sound of liquid when pouring a cup of hot tea and a cup of cold tea.

This can only be explained by the tighter molecular structure of the liquid, so they are less mobile and in the opposite state in the hot state.

3. The stomach regenerates itself twice a week

Not everyone knows that our stomach is constantly regenerating. It works by retaining sugars, essential nutrients to avoid decomposition of acid and then neutralizing these substances and transferring them to the rectum.

The outer layers of tissue are also continuously replaced to help the internal corrosion process by acid. So every three days on average, this process takes place once.

4. The immune system helps you get rid of the risk of cancer hundreds of millions of times every day

Cancer has always been an incurable disease in human history. Even if you maintain an extremely frugal diet with only vegetables and carrots, you can only reduce the incidence by 38% for women and 43% for men.

This disease always appears unexpectedly. It originates from damaged cells and then reprograms itself for destruction. More frightening when billions of cells in your body are at risk of getting ten thousand risks every day.

However, don't be worried when everything has your body covered. Some special enzymes and immune systems will be responsible for finding faulty cells, removing it from the molecular structure, encapsulating it and sending it to destruction before it can develop into a cancer germ. .

Of course, this process is not always 100% effective and that is when the cancer comes to you.

5. The number of synapses is 1,000 times more than that in the universe

In previous studies, scientists have discovered that the human brain contains up to 100 billion neurons. However, the number of synapses is responsible for connecting all neurons to make the human brain up to 100 billion billion. Do you believe when these joints are 1,000 times bigger than the stars in the universe today?

With the ability to handle about 20 million billion calculations per second, your brain is truly an unparalleled machine.

In 2013, German and Japanese scientists tried to compare the computing power of 82,944 microprocessors to the human brain when performing the same calculation.

While the human brain takes only a second, this machine takes up to 40 minutes to produce results. And to read this paragraph, your brain is also mobilizing a number of small synapses that work together.

6. The human brain is capable of storing 1 petabyte of capacity (1,000 terabytes)

Scientists at the University of Texas have discovered a synapse with a storage capacity of 4.7 bytes. Multiplying with the number of synapses, the capacity of the entire human brain is 1 petabyte.

This is a huge number, 10 times more than previous studies, showing that the human brain has great potential.

7. Human bones are many times harder than concrete

Bone consists of calcium hydroxylapatite (about 60%) and collagen, so their structure is very resistant.

8. You need to consume 7,700 kcal to reduce 1 kg

When we lose weight, excess fat turns into CO2 and water and releases energy.

To remove 1 kg of fat, you need to burn 7,700 kcal. That is equivalent to 10 hours of running, 16 hours of swimming, or 24 hours of continuous jumping.

9. Total area of ​​human lungs is equal to the total area of ​​tennis courts

If you spread all your lung cells to the surface, you get an entire tennis court area.

10. Hiccups can last for many years

Charles Osborne of the United States has set a Guinness record for continuous hiccups for 68 years (1922-1990). His hiccup just stopped and stopped for a day without any reason.

Charles still lived a normal life, married and died at the age of 96.

11. Cornea is the only body part without blood vessels

Because there is no blood vessel, the cornea is still transparent. This is good because blood vessels will be a barrier to vision.

The cornea is nourished by the diffusion of substances from its body structure.

12. In the morning you are 1cm taller than the evening

During the day we often have to be in an upright position, so the disc will become thinner and stiffer due to the effect of weight. When sleeping, the resting disc will return to its normal size and state. So you are a little taller in the morning.

Surely after watching these interesting things you will realize how wonderful you have a body. So you always love and take care of your body so that it always works best.
