Here are some interesting facts I came across to share which relate to our anatomy. ***SALIVARY GLANDS -Your body produces a lot of "spit" during your lifetime. 40,000 liters or enough to fill 5 bathtubs. I wonder if athletes produce more, I always notice they spit a lot, just kidding. ***SKIN -Your entire skin surface is replaced every month. That's 1,000 different skins in a lifetime! Wow, and I thought lizards and snakes where the champions of skin shedding! ***TONGUE -Every individual has their own tongue print. Like fingerprints, your tongue print can be used to identify you. ***HEARTBEAT -Your heartbeat adapts to whatever type music you listen to fast or slow. The music tempo determines the pace. *Watch out for that Rock n' Roll!!! Hope you enjoyed this little humorous diversion from your hectic everyday life. A smile or laugh is good for the health they say... Source- Harford Health Care, livescience.com

@dgobucks226 We have many palm readers! I guess they did not know that tongue has also prints, then they would read it too!

I think your right about the athletes and spitting, lol. Yes, I was surprised by that skin fact. *SKIN- That breaks down to about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. And you thought dogs shed a lot. lol

Thanks! It is always fun to learn new things. Here's one more: SMALL INTESTINE- Your small intestine is taller than you measuring 23 feet. That's a lot of body part stuffed into a small space!

I find bits of trivia discoveries a lot of fun too. Here's another one: EYES- We close our eyes a lot. Blame blinking for spending 10% of waking time with our eyes closed. (That's 10-20 times a minute)
