Source text - English Nervous System
The brain and body are constantly sending billions of electrical and chemical signals back and forth between one another.
The human brain is the body’s computer station.
The adult human brain weighs less than 3 pounds.
The human brain represents 2% of your total body weight, yet it requires 20% of your body’s blood supply.
It takes 20% of the oxygen you inhale to feed your brain.
Without oxygen the brain would be damaged or death would occur in 4-8 minutes.
Unlike other body parts, your brain cannot regenerate brain cells. Once they are gone, they are gone forever.
By the age of 35, you lose 1000 brain cells a day. But, don’t worry, you have plenty to spare to get you through life.
Digestive System
The average adult intestine can reach 25 feet in length.
About 50 tons of food are consumed in one’s lifetime, which is the same as having eaten 50 full-grown elephants.
The waste that leaves your body is less than one-third of the size of the food that entered it.
Food is necessary to fuel your cells for building and rebuilding.
Your liver produces 1 quart of bile every 24 hours.
Urinary Tract System
Your kidneys filter more than 400 gallons of blood each day.
Your bladder can hold a pint of liquid.
Thos funny shaped reddish-brown kidney beans some of us like to eat were named after the human kidney because of similarity in shape and color.
Water accounts for approximately 60% of the weight of an adult.
Together, your kidneys produce two quarts of urine a day.
Cardiovascular System
During the course of an average life the heart beats more than 2.5 billion times without stopping.
The heart can beat up to 30 million times a year.
The adult body has enough blood vessels to stretch out more than 60,000 miles or capable of wrapping around our planet 2.5 times.
There is no stronger muscle in the human body than that of the heart.
The heart pumps more than 300,000 tons of blood a year.
Daily, enough blood is pumped through blood vessels to fill a 4000-gallon tank.
The heart represents about 1/200 of the body’s weight, however demands more that 1/20 of the body’s blood supply.
Sensory Receptors
The skin is the human body’s largest organ. One inch of skin contains 12 feet of blood vessels, 800 pain sensors, 400 sweat glands, 12,000 nerve endings, 48 heat sensors and 100 pressure sensors.
One in 30 people is color blind and cannot determine green, red or blue.
The nose can distinguish between 4,000 and 10,000 smells.
The tongue has taste buds that specialize in detecting certain tastes: sweet, bitter, sour and salty.
Eighty percent of all our processed information comes from sight.
Translation - Spanish Sistema nervioso
El cerebro y el cuerpo constantemente se mandan miles de millones de señales eléctricas y químicas.
El cerebro humano es la computadora del cuerpo.
El cerebro humano de un adulto pesa menos de tres libras (6.6 kg).
El cerebro humano representa 2% del total de peso corporal, pero requiere 20% del suministro de sangre de tu cuerpo.
Se necesita 20% del oxígeno inhalado para alimentar el cerebro.
Sin oxígeno, el cerebro se dañaría u ocurriría la muerte en cuatro a ocho minutos.
A cambio de otras partes del cuerpo, tu cerebro no puede regenerar células. Una vez que una célula muere, no se lo puede reemplazar.
A la edad de 35 años, se pierde 1000 células cerebrales cada día. Pero no hay que preocuparse, hay bastantes para toda la vida.
Sistema digestivo
El intestino adulto promedio puede medir hasta 25 pies (7.62 m) en longitud.
Cerca de 50 toneladas (45350 kg) de comida se consume durante la vida, que es equivalente a comer 50 elefantes adultos.
El desecho que sale del cuerpo es menos de un tercio del tamaño de la comida que entra.
Comida es necesaria para alimentar las células para construcción y reconstrucción.
El hígado produce un cuarto de galón (0.95 L) de bilis cada 24 horas.
Sistema de vías urinarias
Los riñones filtran más de 400 galones (1514 L) de sangre cada día.
La vejiga puede contener una pinta (0.47 L) de líquido.
Aquellos frijoles de color marrón rojizo y forma extraña que a algunos les gustan comer toman su nombre en inglés (“kidney beans” o “frijoles riñones”) del riñón humano por similitud de forma y color.
Agua supone (constituye) aproximadamente 60% del peso de un adulto.
Los dos riñones juntos producen medio galón (1.89 L) de orina al día.
Sistema Cardiovascular
Durante el transcurso de una vida promedio, el corazón late más de 2.5 mil millones de veces sin parar.
El corazón puede latir hasta 30 millones de veces cada año.
El cuerpo adulto tiene suficientes vasos sanguíneos para que se pudieran extenderse a más de 60,000 millas (96,561 km) o dar dos vueltas y media al planeta.
No hay músculo más fuerte en el cuerpo humano que el corazón.
El corazón bombea más de 300,000 toneladas (272,100,000 kg) de sangre por año.
Diariamente, se bombea suficiente sangre a través de los vasos sanguíneos para llenar un tanque de 4000 galones (15,145 L).
El corazón representa cerca de 1/200 del peso corporal, pero requiere más de 1/20 del suministro de sangre del cuerpo.
Receptores sensoriales
La piel es el órgano más grande del cuerpo. Una pulgada (2.54 cm) de piel contiene 12 pies (3.66 m) de vasos sanguíneos, 800 sensores de dolor, 400 glándulas sudoríparas, 12,000 terminaciones nerviosas, 48 sensores de calor y 100 sensores de presión.
Una de cada treinta personas es daltónica y no puede distinguir entre verde, rojo y azul.
La nariz puede distinguir 4,000 a 10,000 olores.
La lengua tiene papilas gustativas que especializan en detectar ciertos sabores: dulce, amargo, ácido y salado.
