The appendix may be the most commonly known useless organ. Many years ago, the appendix may have helped people digest plants that were rich in cellulose, Gizmodo reported. While plant-eating vertebrates still rely on their appendix to help process plants, the organ is not part of the human digestive system.
The only part of the human body which does not grow in size from birth to death is the 'innermost ear ossicle' or the 'Stapes'. EXPLANATION: The stapes is 3 mm is size when a person is born. As a person grows or develops, this ossicle does not grow in size.
Explanation: The growth of most structures(muscles, bones etc...) of human body stops after adolescence. But here is one special structure called cartilage that continue to grow till death.
You can still have a fairly normal life without one of your lungs, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, the fibula bones from each leg and six of your ribs.
Although some patients who have a diseased portion of their liver removed are unable to regrow the tissue and end up needing a transplant.
Vestigial organs are parts of the body that once had a function but are now more-or-less useless. Probably the most famous example is … the appendix, though it is now an open question whether the appendix is really vestigial.
Teeth are the ONLY body part that cannot repair themselves. Repairing means either regrowing what was lost or replacing it with scar tissue. Our teeth cannot do that. Our brain for example will not regrow damaged brain cells but can repair an area by laying down other scar-type tissue .
Answer and Explanation: The parts of the human body that never stop growing are cartilage appendages, such as the ears and nose.
The liver has a unique capacity among organs to regenerate itself after damage. A liver can regrow to a normal size even after up to 90% of it has been removed.
Those two parts are the ears and the nose, and it's also strange that both of these parts are located on the head. When most body parts will begin to grow slowly and gradually stop growing (mostly after puberty ends), the ears and nose will continue to increase in size, causing the ears and nose to become larger.
These changes unfold quickly, over a few days. Your muscles relax. Your muscles loosen immediately after death, releasing any strain on your bowel and bladder. As a result, most people poop and pee at death.
One of the wildest innovations is “living funerals.” You can attend a dry run of your own funeral, complete with casket, mourners, funeral procession, etc. You can witness the lavish proceedings without having an “out-of-body” experience, just an “out-of-disposable-income” experience.
This usually begins in the liver, which is rich in enzymes, and in the brain, which has high water content. Eventually, though, all other tissues and organs begin to break down in this way.
The brain itself does not feel pain because there are no nociceptors located in brain tissue itself. This feature explains why neurosurgeons can operate on brain tissue without causing a patient discomfort, and, in some cases, can even perform surgery while the patient is awake.
The smallest organ is the pineal gland. It is situated centrally in the brain. It is the main site for the secretion of melatonin that controls the internal clock of the body.
The strongest muscle based on its weight is the masseter. With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on the incisors or 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) on the molars.
Philtrum. There's an indentation just above the mouth and below the nose with a name of its own. Physiologists call it the philtrum….
Most humans grow a tail in the womb, which disappears by eight weeks. The embryonic tail usually grows into the coccyx or the tailbone. The tailbone is a bone located at the end of the spine, below the sacrum. Sometimes, however, the embryonic tail doesn't disappear and the baby is born with it.
An average adult human body has 206 bones, 650 muscles, and 78 organs. Hundreds if counted individually. The basic parts of the human body are the head, neck, torso, arms and legs.
But back in the 1970s, scientists showed that children can sometimes regrow the tip of an amputated finger, as long as there's a bit of nail left over and the wound isn't stitched up.
But in reality, Medical Transcription estimates, the average price of a human dead body is more likely to fetch around $550,000 (with a few key body parts driving up the price). Contrary to popular belief, you are not allowed to sell your organs for transplantation purposes in the US. (Nor in any developed country).
The brain is the only organ in the human body that cannot be transplanted. The brain cannot be transplanted because the brain's nerve tissue does not heal after transplantation.
