Why women have colder hands but men have BIGGER noses!

in health •  7 years ago 

Ever wounder why women love holding hands on chilly walks well the real reason according to,A Cambridge university study revealed last week that because women's hands tend to suffer cold more than men`s,its all down to muscle tissue of which men generally have more than women and which is largely responsible for generating body heat that keeps us warm.

 this was discovered from the test in which scientist made hardy volunteers plunge their hands into ice cold water for three minutes and then monitored how quickly their hands warmed up 

 The men ,with greater muscle mass ,warmed up  quicker than women whose hands have more fatty tissue,fatty tissue is less effective thermal insulator insulator because salt inside the fat makes it a good electrical conductor,

 Stephanie Payne,a biological anthropologist who led the research ,should be applauded as in recent years scientist who dared to point out differences between men and women have been roundly criticized  For while all aspects of modern life —  from the bedroom to the boardroom — are increasingly geared to ensure  equality for all, Mother Nature keeps some distinctly tricks up  her sleeve when it comes to basic physiology.Believe  it or not, science even reveals that some of the old  battle-of-the-sexes cliches are entirely true — yes, men really are  worse at listening during conversations

 Even if a woman and a man are physically the same size, the man’s nose is on average 10 per cent bigger.Why?  It appears that men’s bodies need more oxygen, so they grow bigger  hooters in order to suck it all in. A study in 2013 by Nathan Holton, a  professor of orthodontics at the University of Iowa, explains why.Holton  followed 20 men and 18 women from the age of three until their mid-20s  to monitor the way in which their skulls grew. He found that boys’  skulls went through a growth spurt during puberty that put them a nose  ahead.This is the stage of life when boys begin to grow more lean muscle mass, while girls grow more body fat mass.Lean  muscle requires more energy — in the form of oxygen — for building and  maintenance than body fat, explaining the need for boys to suddenly need  more air.

Men are also far more likely to have a form of colour blindness, It’s not only ducks and dragonflies that have very different colourings according to their sex.Human skins have different sexual ‘plumage’ too, according to researchers at Brown University in Rhode Island, U.S.They  analyzed more than 300 faces to find a subtle yet fundamental gender  difference in human faces: men are tinged red while women are tinged  green

 Humans are the only  species where the sexes have differently shaped spines. This biological  curiosity has long puzzled scientists. It also puts millions of women at  risk of the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis.Now  biologists say that women’s bodies have evolved this way because only a  thinner spine enables them to carry a pregnancy while at the same time  walking upright.

 Women’s noses may be smaller, but their brains can read much more  from the air they do breathe in. According to Brazilian researchers,  women have more than 40 per cent more cells in the olfactory bulb. In  2014, a team from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro studied the  brains of deceased adults and found that while men had some 9.2 million  cells in their olfactory bulbs, the women had around 16.2 million. According to science, women evolved this trait to choose mates for  reproductive purposes — by detecting subtle changes in men’s  testosterone levels that indicate how fit, strong and healthy they are.

At what month of pregnancy can gender of a fetus be determined and in what trimester do RBC`s start forming in am embryo ie what trimester

Not sure, I think around the 2nd trimester.

1st trimester rbcs produced by liver first the yolk sac i think id better just ask questions

oh then for the identification of sex its 4 of 5 month of pregnancy

i really enjoyed this article. thanks

i thought of taking pictures of plants on the farm like cassava,beans groundnut ,you things that Europeans never see.do you think it would be appreciated
