The human body is pretty amazing, and scientists are constantly making new discoveries about how it works. As it turns out, our bodies can do some surprising things! Here are 6 strange and fascinating facts about the human body that you may not have known:

1. Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents.

The nose has millions of odor-detecting cells and can recognize a wide range of smells. This helps explain why certain scents can trigger strong memories.

2. Sneezing can reach speeds of up to 100 mph!

Sneezing is an involuntary expulsion of air that maxes out at speeds faster than some race cars.

3. Fingernails grow faster on your dominant hand.

Studies show nails grow up to 4 times faster on the hand a person uses more often. This may be due to increased blood circulation.

4. Your teeth start forming before you're even born.

Tooth buds for 20 baby teeth appear around 6 weeks into pregnancy. Adult teeth begin forming around 6 months in utero.

5. Facial hair grows faster than any other hair on the body.

If the average man never shaved, his beard would be over 30 feet long after a lifetime. Scalp hair grows about 6 inches a year while facial hair grows about half an inch per month.

6. The sound of a snore can reach 69 decibels.

This is as loud as a normal conversation. The vibrations that cause snoring happen when air squeezes through relaxed throat tissues while sleeping.

The human body does so many things we take for granted every day. But when you stop and think about it, parts of our anatomy can do some pretty wild stuff. From superspeed sneezes to rapid nail growth, the body has plenty of surprises in store. What other funky facts do you know about the human body? Let us know in the comments!
