TRIVIA THURSDAY
This post is dedicated to the wealth of knowledge that my patients hold. How much do you know about your structure?
1. What is the Longest Bone in the human body?
DID YOU SAY FEMUR? GENIUS!!! YES the femur (thighbone), makes up about 1/4 of your height. The smallest is the stirrup in the ear.
2. How many bones do we have?
DID YOU SAY 206? You should be a Physio. Forget losing your marbles, how about losing bones? We are born with 300 bones, but when we reach adulthood we only have 206 bones. Why? Many of them fuse together to make a single bone as a child is still growing.
3. EVER HEARD SOMEONE SAY, THEY ARE BIG BONED?
Well Adult human bones only account for 14% of the body's total weight. So this is not a plausible excuse for those tipping the scales.
Physio Tip: Exercise increases bone density and lowers the risk of osteoporosis. What Exercises though? Weight Training, esp squats, Jumping Ropes, Running stairs
YOU NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN ,
