HOLY MOLECULES, BATMAN!

Interesting facts about our body

The human body shines in the darkness In Japan, researchers have succeeded with more sensitive cameras to detect that human body shines. They found that our bodies emit very small amounts of light. This light is so small that a human does not register them. While this is long been known that all living things produce a small amount of light as a result of chemical reactions in the body. Now scientists in Japan for the first time in the world are managed to prove that and to record this phenomenon. 

The human body produces aspirin By taking or eating fruits and vegetables the human body can make a personal aspirin. Thus, one study found, and proved that the human body from the acids of fruit and vegetable products, salicylic acid, a key component that makes aspirin and anti-inflammatory properties for pain.

Orgasm causes sneezing Some men feel a headache after ejaculation, while some of them sometimes start to sneeze. Greater activity in the nervous system of human body can be blamed for headaches, while for the sneezing after orgasm is responsibility the brain center. The speed of sneezes can reach up to 100km per hour and more. The record was 160km per hour. 

Our tongue has an original print If you did not know, like our fingerprints, a tongue is different from person to person. Due to the uniqueness of form and texture of each physiological tongue, it is very important for example in determining the identity of a person. 

The skin on the feet is thickest Skin is thickest on the palms and soles, and its thickness in these parts of the body is up to 4 millimeters. It is also mentioned that skin in these parts of the human body has the most sweat glands. 

Appendix is not a useless part of the human body Many people thought that the appendix is just a useless part of the body, but it has a function. Appendix is some kind of a safe house for beneficial bacteria that live in the human stomach and promote digestion of the food. 

is called Petrichor, and it is caused by Geosmin.

Geosmin is an organic compound with the formula C12H22O. It's produced by several classes of microbes, including cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and actinobacteria (especially Streptomyces), and released when these microbes die. The human nose is extremely sensitive to geosmin and is able to detect it at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion.

This is a molecule of Biphenyl.

A low-temperature oxidation catalyst used to convert carbon monoxide to less toxic carbon dioxide at room temperature. It can also remove formaldehyde from the air. 

Catalysis is the change in rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of a substance called a catalyst.

The production of most industrially important chemicals involves catalysis. Similarly, most biochemically significant processes are catalysed. Catalysis is relevant to many aspects of environmental science, e.g. the catalytic converter in automobiles and the dynamics of the ozone hole.
