The document discusses various facts about the major human body systems. It notes that the nervous system contains more neurons than stars in the Milky Way, the female body can give birth to 35 children, and the lymphatic system works with the immune and cardiovascular systems. It also outlines respiratory facts like sneeze speeds up to 165 km/h, circulatory facts such as blood cells living 20 seconds, and skeletal facts including the femur being the longest bone. The document provides an overview of interesting facts about the nervous, reproductive, lymphatic, respiratory, circulatory, muscular and skeletal systems.

There are more nerve cells in the human brain than there are stars in the Milky Way. If we lined up all the neurons in our body it would be around 600 miles long. There are about 13, 500,00 neurons in the human spinal cord. A New born baby loses about half of their nerve cells before they are born.
Reproductive system facts
The female human body is capable of giving birth to 35children in onelifetime. About 500 million sperm mature every day in a normal male adult. The average life span of a sperm is about 36 hours. Fallopian tubes are no wider than the head of a pin.
Lymphatic system fun facts
Lymphatic system works in coordination and collaboration with the lymphoid system, immune system and cardiovascular system. The right lymphatic duct measures only about 1.25 centimeter (cm) in length, while the thoracic duct may measure as long as 45 cm. In case of pathogenic bacteria, Bcells are assigned the job to deal with them.
Respiratory system facts
The right lung is slightly larger than the left. The highest recorded "sneeze speed" is 165 km per hour. A person at rest usually breathes between 12 and 15 times a minute. The capillaries in the lungs would extend 1,600 kilometres if placed end to end.
Circulatory system fun facts
The heart beats around 3 billion times in the averages
person's life.
About 8 million blood cells die in the human body every
second, and the same number are born each second.
Red blood cells make approximately 250,000 round trips
of the body before returning to the bone marrow, where they were born, to die.
It takes about 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circle
the whole body.
Muscular system facts
Muscles make up 40% of your total body weight.
The smallest muscles are found in the middle ear.
It takes half as long to gain muscle than it does to lose
it.
To take one step, you use 200 muscles.
When youre cold, your muscles contract
involuntarily.
Skeletal system fun facts
At birth the human skeleton is made up of around 300
bones. By adulthood, some bones have fused together to end up with 206 bones.
The longest bone in the human body is the thigh bone
called the femur.
