The heart beats about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
If all arteries, veins, and capillaries of the human circulatory system were laid end to end, the total length would be 60,000 miles, or 100,000 km. That’s nearly two and a half times around the Earth!
Human hair grows about 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) every month and keeps on growing for up to 6 years. The hair then falls out and another grows in its place.
The fastest growing hair in the human body is the facial hair (beards)
Women’s heart beat faster than men’s.
The strongest organ in our body is the tongue.

Women blink twice as much as men. The average person blinks around 13 times a minute.
The last sense that disconnects while dying is the sense of hearing. The first one being eye vision, followed by taste, smell and touch.
A man can survive without a heart – Craig Lewis has proven this.
Our eyes stay the same size from the moment we are born until we are old age, but the ears and nose does not stop growing.

The left lung is smaller than the right.
