Fun Facts Essay

Improved Essays
There are lot of interesting fun facts in the integument, urinary, or reproductive systems. The skin is the largest organ of the body. In a normal male about 5 billion sperm mature on daily basis. The average penis size is less than 6 inches long. The human bladder can stretch to hold about 400 ml of urine. If one kidney fails to function and is removed, the other kidney can increase in size by 50% within two months to handle the entire filtration.

I chose to pick three fun facts from the reproductive system. 1 fun fact is breastfed babies have a higher IQ. The second fun fact is that the Fallopian tubes are no bigger than the head of a pen. And the third fun fact is that the female body is able to give birth to 35 children in one lifetime.

What I found interesting was that your nails grow .5mm per week and hair grows 1cm per month. I found this very interesting because even though it doesn’t look like my hair and nails are growing is good to know that they are. Also that every month you have a whole new layer of skin. I didn't know that.

Three fun and unique facts about the reproductive system are; the human reproductive system contains the largest and smallest human cells. We all know that our body contains cells but the reproductive is able to contain both large and small! The vagina has something in common with tomatoes: they're both acidic. A tomato has a p.H that varies from 4-4.7 and the vagina has a p.H of 4.5. Men have vastly more gametes than women. At birth, women have 1 million to 2 million eggs, but only about 300,000 eggs will be left by the time puberty hits. Men produce more than 500 billion sperm cells in his lifetime.

When I was looking through all the comments I saw somethings that stuck out to me. Its very intersting how much skin we shred in a lifetime. Another interesting fact that I read was that the female reproductive system is capable of giving birth to 35 infants in a lifetime. It is so interesting to me. Its also unigue thay a bladder can hold so much urine. I find this topic very interesting to

    The primary bit of this lab, we were given the chance to essentially analyze worms and turn out to be more acquainted with the terms of life structures concerning the body areas and positions. The worm analyzation concentrated for the most part on the sexual multiplication part of worms, likely in light of the fact that it is not fundamentally the same as human proliferation. I learned in this lab that worms are not arranged as male or female since a few worms are considered bisexuals and have sexual proliferation organs of both genders. Amid this lab I recognized diverse structures of the worm and their physiological functions. In the second part of the analysis, I got to practically dismember a fetal pig.…
