The human body is an amazing thing to me. Whether you're 3' tall or over 6 feet, we all have the same makeup. What I find most interesting is that as a Coroner, Mortician, Specialist or Surgeon, there are some 'parts' that could be easily identified and counted.
206 bones, 640-850 muscles, 11 organs. What I can't figure out is how do they calculate that there are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the body or 46 miles of nerves. That would be kinda tedious, wouldn't it?
The real biggie is how can they figure out that there are 100 BILLION neurons in the human brain? And 100 TRILLION nerve cells in the human body? How do you figure something like that out?
I just know that when I whack my head on the cupboard door one nerve cell yells at the others, "What the Hell??"

It is fascinating that they can figure all this out. I agree though everything is connected. I even believe that one person''s madness can transfer to another in close proximity.

@nanette64 Yes it is, but do not imagine that the arteries are "measured" with a meter.
It's too complicated to explain here.

@LadyDuck They'd have to pay me a lot of money to do that job.

I forgot to add that a lot of people must be missing some of those brain cells or they sure aren't sparking very well @Alian123 . And yes, you sure can.

It musta been Einstein who fligered all that out I'm betting they used Algebra to fliger it all out. Now I wonder if they took into account that there are some people who have either 6 fingers on one hand or 6 toes on a foot, would that mess em up?

To be honest I do not know how they figure that type of thing out.

They must have borrowed some of those brain cells from 'certain' other people who don't use theirs @Kandae11 .
