<>.Women hearts beat faster than men.



<>.The human heart can create enough pressure that it could squirt blood at a distance of thirty feet.



<>.The first open heart surgery was performed by Dr. Daniel Hall Williams in 1893.



<>.The human heart beat roughly 35 million times a year.



<>.In 1967, the first successful heart transplant was performed in Cape Town, South Africa.



<>.Your system of blood vessels - arteries, veins and capillaries - is over 60,000 miles long. That's long enough to go around the world more than twice!



<>.Blood takes about 20 seconds to circulate throughout the entire vascular system.



<>.The adult heart pumps about 5 quarts of blood each minute - approximately 2,000 gallons of blood each day - throughout the body.



<>.The aorta, the largest artery in the body, is almost the diameter of a garden hose. Capillaries, on the other hand, are so small that it takes ten of them to equal the thickness of a human hair.



<>.An adult woman's heart weighs about 8 ounces, a man's about 10 ounces



<>.Scientists have discovered that the longer the ring finger is in boys the less chance they have of having a heart attack.



<>.Your body has about 5.6 liters (6 quarts) of blood. This 5.6 liters of blood circulates through the body three times every minute. In one day, the blood travels a total of 19,000 km (12,000 miles)-- that's four times the distance across the US from coast to coast.


<>.Blood is about 78 percent water.
