Did You Know?

  • Your blood travels about 12,000 miles every day.
  • The aorta is the diameter of a garden hose. 
  • Capillaries are so small that 10 of them are equal to the thickness of a human hair.  

These and other fascinating facts about the human body are depicted in the Healthy Bodies Matter exhibit. There are 8 stations where you can listen to your heart with a stethoscope, place the body's organs in the correct place on a torso, see how the joints connect on a skeleton, and more.

Another great learning experience for all ages!
