Humans Fart At A Speed Of 9.5 Kms And 5 Other Weird Facts About Your Body

The human body is the greatest mystery on earth. In this post, we will be sharing some weird facts about the human body. I bet you have never heard some of these facts.

#1 Sneezing Speed

Can you believe that you sneeze at speeds of 100 miles per hour or more? It's true. This is why you should cover your mouth and prevent someone from being attacked by microbes flying at 100 miles per hour.

#2 Fart

A typical fart is composed of about 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane and 4% oxygen. Only 1% of a fart is hydrogen sulfide gas and mercantile, which contains sulfur. The sulfur is what makes your fart stink. The average human farts 14 times a day which is enough to fill a medium sized balloon. Humans farts at an average speed of 9.5 km per hour. Even dead bodies can fart for 3 hours after death. Unbelievable but true, women's farts smell worse than men's farts. But men don't get cocky because you fart more often than women.

#3 Brain

Your brain contains about 100 billion neurons which would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see, or move, it's all because of these tiny neuron transmitting signals. Neurons send info to your brain at more than 150 miles (241 kilometres) per hour. When a bee lands on your bare foot, Sensory neurons in your skin relay this information to your spinal cord and brain at a speed of more than 150 miles (241 kilometres) per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons to transmit the message back through your spinal cord to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. Motor neurons can relay this information at more than 200 miles (322 kilometres) per hour.

#4 Nails

Men's nails tends to grow faster than women's. The growth of nails is faster in summer than in winter. Women's nail grow much faster during pregnancy.

#5 Hairs

The density of human hair per square inch is even more than that of chimpanzees and apes. This may sound strange as none of us wants to look hairy but if you look through a magnifying glass you can see a lot of hairy pores in your skin.

#6 Body Odor

The human body has 50 thousand sweat glands that can produce up to one liter of sweat a day and release harmful toxins. The groin and the armpits are the areas that produce the majority of body odor. East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese) have fewer apocrine sweat glands compared to people of other descent, and the lack of these glands make East Asians less prone to body odor.
