Fact # 1

Fact # 3

Fact # 4

Fact # 6
How many alveoli make up the human lung? The answer is 300 million. And the estimated alveolar surface area is about ± 100 times wider than the surface of the human body.
Fact # 7
Thirst not only occurs when the body loses a lot of fluids but also occurs due to increased levels of salt in the blood. The reason being salt tends to bind water.
Fact # 8
