Do you know ...
The smallest bones in your body are in your ear. The index finger is the most sensitive finger on your hand. About a quarter of the oxygen in your bloodstream is used by your brain. Five hundred cubic feet of air pass through your nose every day. The average person sheds a complete layer of skin every 28 days. The average person sweats 2 ½ quarts of water a day. Your body creates as much as two quarts of saliva daily. A plucked eyebrow takes about 90 days to grow back. There are three colours of blood: red, blue (lobsters), and yellow (insects). Your skin accounts for 16% of your body weight. Women have Adam’s apples too. Men’s are larger t accommodate their longer vocal cords. As a person ages, the first sense to go is the sense of smell. That white half-moon under your fingernail is an air pocket. No one knows why it’s there.

All about bones
Both sexes have an equal number of ribs, 24 to be exact. About every seven years, your body replaces the equivalent of an entirely new skeleton. The jawbone is the hardest bone in your body. The biggest, strongest and heaviest bones in your body are the thighbones as they must support the body. The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes or stirrup bone located in the middle ear. The skeleton makes up about 20 per cent of the weight of your body. -
