I did, but only on some things. Other things were gross....Like did you know that your stomach has to make a new mucus lining every two weeks or otherwise it will digest itself?? Eew... And did you know that most of nail is made up of the same thing as fly poop?? Gross!! It is not possible to tickle yourself. The cerebellum, a part of the brain, warns the rest of the brain that you are about to tickle yourself. Since your brain knows this, it ignores the resulting sensation. Once a human reaches the age of 35, he/she will start losing approximately 7,000 brain cells a day. The cells will never be replaced....So sad...Over 80% of the brain is water...The hormone replacement drug "Premarin" is made from the urine of pregnant horses. ...You burn 26 calories evryone one minute that you kiss someone...Wierd huh???

I am a biology major, and I adore learning about the human body. It's amazing to learn new facts and find out how complex and special the human body is.

Yes, I do. I'm learning to sketch & the human body is fascinating. So are animals too, like horses & such.
If you haven't, check out the Cyclopedia Anatomicae by Gyorgy Feher & illustrated by Andras Szunyoghy. It's a great resource book.

i love learning about the human body to the degree that when i was birthing partner first time(done it 3 times now)it was a C section with her being sterilised at the same time...........both the surgeon and the anaesthetist were so impressed as i watched in awe that they asked me out on a date afterwards!! i declined of course. whenever i have an operation i ask to be awake and watch if possible too, it's fantastic to go into the G.P and know they know what your talking about. very often the G.P will ask if i want her job!! i would love it but have M.S and in a wheelchair, spurs you on to learn as much as you can about the body your renting..........lol

i actually enjoyed the postmortem series we had in the UK over last years New Year. I was fascinated by how the nerves reached from the base of the brain to the heels of the feet. And a lot of diseases and their consequences were shown and explained. There was too much to explain on here.

I do sometimes, depends on my mood. Sometimes it is too much information. I was a hair dresser for a few years and we had to study the bones in the skull. Interesting.

Anatomy and physiology were my favorite subjects in college. I still can't get enough of books, articles, tv shows on the subject and I'm addicted to Discovery Health. I'm a paramedic and I love it.
