As your body breaks down old bone and rebuilds it with stronger material, some bone matter is lost. Osteoporosis is the condition when bones become weak and are more susceptible to breaking.

Mucus is a slimy goo vital to your immune system. In your nose, mucus catches wayward microbes and other foreign particles before they reach your lungs. When a cold invades and stuffs up your nose, dead viruses get stuck in the mucus turning it from clear to green. So that dripping snot is escorting out unwelcome microbes.

Early Americans recognized the heart to be vital to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing in at about 10 ounces, an adult heart is about the size of your fist and consists of four chambers: the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.

Blood then re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, then the left ventricle pumps it through the aorta out to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe human heart pumps blood at a rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute through the 60,000 miles of blood vessels packed in your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your organs and cells.

The uterus is shaped like an inverted pear. The fallopian tubes are on both sides along with two ovaries containing thousands of human egg cells. The ovaries also secrete the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe egg cell, or ovum, is the female reproductive cell. It is very large, unlike the tiny male reproductive sperm cell. The ovum contains cytoplasm and unwound DNA, which promotes internal movement and flow. While men produce millions of sperm during their lives, women are born with a lifetime trove of several million eggs. By adulthood, only about 400,000 remain. In fact, only about 450 of the millions of egg cells will ever even have a chance to become a baby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery day of a woman’s fertile life several dozen eggs begin developing. Normally only one egg will mature each month and take the daring journey down a fallopian tube where it has the chance of encountering eligible sperm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen fertilized by a sperm, the egg becomes a zygote, which divides and moves into the uterine cavity. Here it implants itself in the inner membrane of the uterus. The cells keep dividing, growing and developing into a fetus lying snugly in amniotic fluid and nourished through the placenta.

The lining has many folds, called rugae, which flatten out so the bladder can expand and fill up. When empty, the bladder resembles a deflated balloon. As it gradually fills up, the bladder becomes spherical and then pear-shaped. The bladder wall is made of many layers. An outer layer of muscle surrounds the organ. When your bladder is full, these muscles can be tightened to squeeze out the urine. As you urinate, the bladder shrinks in size. The bladder’s middle layer has connective tissue and the inner layer is lined with urothelial cells, also found inside the kidneys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicrobes are alive inside your bladder, just like the rest of your digestive system. The entire urinary tract contains a diverse microbiome. When invading microbes enter, urinary tract infections (UTIs) may occur, including bladder infections.

Women have shorter urethras than men and, thus, are more prone to UTIs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ring of muscles around the bladder, the urinary sphincters, keeps it closed. When the bladder is full, nerve endings in the bladder wall stimulate the internal sphincter to open and also signal the brain that it is time to urinate.

This snail-shaped bony casing converts mechanical sound vibrations into electronic nerve signals. It contains the basilar membrane and an intricate collection of hair-like nerve filaments, called hair cells. The membrane vibrates in response to sound. Thousands of these hair cells respond to different sound pitches based on their location on the membrane. High pitched sounds impact the base of the cochlea where the membrane is more narrow and thick. Low pitched sounds stimulate the inner tip where the membrane is wider and flexible. Thus, sound vibrations become electronic signals that travel from your auditory nerve to your brain which processes and interprets the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHearing loss and deafness are due to disruptions in the auditory system. There are three main types. Conduction deafness occurs when sound waves are obstructed from reaching the hair cells. Sensorineural hearing loss is caused from damage to the cochlea or auditory nerve. Central deafness is caused by defects in the auditory pathways of the brain. Since the 1980s, cochlear implants have been used to treat sensorineural hearing loss. This amazing neuroprosthetic device takes on the role of the hair cells within the cochlea.

These clusters of tiny airbags provide a tennis-court sized area to maximize gas exchange. This is where the magic happens, where oxygen from the air is absorbed and passes into your blood.
