Body Facts!!

 Our bodies are amazing!! God knew exactly what He was doing when He was putting it all together. Every part of our bodies are there for a reason. Even the smallest bone in our bodies, which is called the stapes and is located in our ears! The stapes, along with two other bones, send vibrations to the inner part of our ear. 


Another cool human body fact is that our lungs are not the same size. The lung on the right is shorter than the left lung because the liver is right under it. The left lung is smaller because the heart takes up a lot of space in there. Here is a picture so you can see what I am talking about: 

The lung on our left is shorter because of how high the liver sits; the lung on our right is smaller. If you can tell, it is kind of curved on the inside part, that would be where the heart sits.

The last fact for this blog is that we are taller in the morning than we are at night. Now, don't think that you are, like, 2 feet taller. With most people, you are only about 0.3 inches taller. This happens because gravity pulls our cartilage down and compresses it during the daytime. So when you are sleeping, it goes back to normal, making you seem taller in the morning.

Brain Facts!!!

Image
    The brain is the most important organ in every living creatures' body. It is the control system that send messages to different parts of your body. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org explains what the brain does: ''controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, and every process that regulates our body."    Since the brain does so much, I thought it would be interesting to look at 3 cool facts about it. Fact 1: Our brains are always on the job. When people say that you only use 10 percent of your brain, it is actually a myth. Our brains never stop working; even while we are sleeping.  Fact 2: When you zone out, your brain goes into an autopilot mode. It does this because it recognizes that we can complete the task at hand without thinking hard about it. Fact 3: When we read, different parts of our brains activate. One part analyzes meaning, and the other recognizes words automatically.

TWINS, TWINS, AND MORE TWINS!!!!

Image
 Did you know that the population of human twins has increased?       Yes it's true. There are more twins now than ever before.  Human Reproduction  says that since the 1980s, the amount of twins being born has increased by a 3rd. Every year there are about 1.6 million twin babies being born. I don't know about you all, but I think that's an awful lot of twins! It has also been discovered that it depends on how old the mom is for babies to come. For example, the older the mom is, the more likely she will give birth to twins. The younger she is, she is less likely to have twins.
