1. Your stomach lining constantly produces a new layer of mucus to prevent it from digesting itself.

3. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades, but it doesn't because your stomach cells continuously renew themselves.
4. Your taste buds aren't just on your tongue; they can also be found on the roof of your mouth, in your throat, and even in your stomach.
5. The small intestine, despite being called "small," is actually quite long, averaging around 20 feet (6 meters) in length when stretched out.
6. Your skin is the body's largest organ and can weigh up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms).
7. During your lifetime, you'll produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools.
8. The strongest muscle in the human body, relative to its size, is the masseter muscle, which allows you to chew with incredible force.
9. The human nose can remember up to 50,000 different scents, making it a powerful tool for memory and emotion.
