The human body is a truly perfect machine, capable of incredible surprises.

Over the centuries, science has made incredible discoveries about the human body.

The human body has changed dramatically over the millennia and has developed automatic defense systems that respond to certain situations or stimuli. Would you like to learn about some of them?

Hiccups

This is the body's way of trying to expel certain foods or liquids that have mistakenly entered the wrong channel and irritated the pneumogastric nerve.

Sneezing

This is the body's way of expelling germs, dust and other allergens through the nasal passages.

Tears

They are the body's means of eliminating irritants from the eyes, as well as emotional relief from various types of pain.

Goosebumps

This special "defensive" method is the body's way of responding to certain irritants by closing the pores and thereby reducing body temperature.

Yawn

This procedure provides the human brain with additional oxygen and helps it cool down faster. It is an automatic mechanism that starts when you are especially tired.

Wrinkled skin from water

Many people think that this signal is the body's way of warning itself against water, but in reality it serves to make hands and feet less slippery in liquid.

Stretching

This procedure, which you perform automatically, serves to improve your mood and prepare your body for physical activity.

Memory loss

If you sometimes forget certain events, this is an automatic way for your brain to create a kind of protective shield to avoid remembering painful experiences.

Eyelid tremor

Droopy eyelids are the result of accumulated stress, lack of hydration, or lack of sleep. They are the body's way of warning you that it needs to take better care of itself.
