Human Body Pt 1 (Nose) - Did you know?

1. No two people smell the same odor the same way. In other words, a rose may smell sweeter to some people than to others.


2. The average human being is able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors.

3. A woman’s sense of smell is keener than a man’s.

4. In an adult, 18,000 to 20,000 liters of air pass through the nose each day.



5. Two U.S. scientists - Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck - 'figured out how the nose smells all the smells it smells!' and won themselves a BIG award for their work in 2004 (the Nobel Trophy and $1.3million)
