No doubt the human body is one of the most complex creations known to mankind. From it's simplicity,agility and symmetrical structure the human body is truly a marvelous natural machine. With all the body build up we are also the most intellectual beings on the planet, most advanced, and the most progressive beings. We have other animals that could closely match up with us in terms of intellect; the orca popularly referred to has the killer whales are one or probably the most intelligent beings in the water bodies, this equally makes them creepy because they are able to predict analyze and possibly do things just for entertainment ( what we humans call sport) they could purposely toss seals so high into the air just for the fun of it. With no intention of feeding on the animal. Although these animals have not really physically attacked humans, they have started crashing into ships for no reason at all, scientist believe this is quite intentional. The chimpanzees match up almost align with us in terms of intellect, and with a strong education or training you could get a human like animal.

Back to the main topic,Let's check crazy fact's of the human body that would really creep you out;

  • You are a stranger to your own self; well it might sound strange but you are not the same person Has you were when you were younger. Let me put it this way, you didn't exist 10+years ago, It might sound strange but I would explain. Every cell in the body is constantly regenerating and replaced. If all the cells in your body are replaced with new ones at a point in your life you were a different human from before. For example you have a car, a faulty one and probably you are reluctant of letting it go and instead repair every fault parts when there is a fault, at a point every part of the car would be totally replaced with new ones, although the car brand would still be the same but is it really the same thing. Same goes to your cells.

  • Humans have a diving reflex that shuts down the body to avoid drowning; alright all beings have reflex, reflex is the Trump and ultimate card of the body to avoid certain damages the body can sustain. This also goes to swimming. When you slip and fall into a pool of cold water your body immediately reacts to this in it's last desperate attempt to avoid drowning, the heart beat rate slows down and also the rate of blood circulation, unlike some parts of the body that could do without oxygen for a limited amount of time. But the brain requires oxygen every time since it's the very power of your body. The remaining oxygen In the body is used sent to the brain, with a little amount sent to the other body parts. Ultimately this would cause you to pass out and then your body takes over, luckily you get pulled out of the water before your body uses the stored up oxygen.

  • Your Brian will literally eat it self when starving; the brain it so powerful and yet so needful, in need of oxygen and food a the time. Well it literally takes over the affairs of the body so it has to consume lots of energy. When dieting or starving, the brain ( specifically the hypothalamus of the brain) causes an effect which would release enzymes that eat up the fat in the body has a backup plan. Well these fats are also sent to the Brain to consume which causes the enzymes to follow along to dissolve them, these increases the sensation of hunger. The brain also eats it self up when it doesn't get enough sleep.

Which point was most shocking? Let me know in the comment section below.

"Humans have a diving reflex that shuts down the body to avoid drowning" I am totally agree to this statement. Whether you dont know how to swim but in the case of emergency you can totally swim.. Hahaha.. What a crazy mind we have.

The first point where you said we are strangers to our own body. You explained further that some organs might have been replaced. My question is, were they replaced or their functions got advanced due to the development of the body?

I'm terms of evolution you could say an advancement in the organ function. But I meant the cells replaces it self due to a lack in the function of the previous, you could call it old age in the aspect of the cell
