Did you know?

shoulder

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, with a shallow socket that lets your arm swing a full circle.

stomach

Your stomach lining renews itself every few days because its own acid is strong enough to dissolve metal.

hand

Each hand has 27 bones, so your two hands together hold more than a quarter of all the bones in your body.

forehead

Your forehead skin wrinkles into horizontal lines because a flat muscle called the frontalis lifts your eyebrows whenever you look surprised.

eyebrow

Eyebrows help keep sweat and rain out of your eyes, steering droplets sideways down the temples instead of straight in.

knuckle

The popping sound when you crack a knuckle comes from gas bubbles collapsing in the fluid inside the joint.

abdomen

Your abdomen holds most of the digestive organs, cushioned and protected only by muscle rather than by a bony cage.

eyelash

Eyelashes trigger a protective blink the instant something brushes them, shielding the eye from dust and stray particles.

nostril

You mostly breathe through one nostril at a time, and the busier side quietly switches every few hours.

finger

Fingers have no muscles inside them; they are pulled by tendons like puppet strings reaching up into the forearm.

muscle

The hardest-working muscle in your body is the heart, beating without rest about 100,000 times every single day.

buttock

The gluteus maximus in each buttock is the body's largest muscle, powering you upright when you stand, climb, and run.

eardrum

Your eardrum is a tiny stretched membrane that vibrates like a drumhead when sound waves reach it inside the ear.

tongue

Your tongue is a bundle of eight muscles and is the only muscle group anchored at just one end.
