Every adult needs two millionths of an ounce of iodine a day; without it, the thyroid gland cannot do its job. Food usually fills this quota, because iodine occurs in most soils and is taken up by plants. But in some parts of the world, the soil contains little or no iodine. To compensate,developed nations add iodine to table salt. In poorer countries, where iodized salt may not be readily available, thyroid deficiency is common, and as a result, many children suffer from mental and physical retardation. In some less-affluent nations, he remedy for iodine deficiency is mass inoculation with iodized oil. This oil settles in body fat and releases iodine over a period of about five years.

Babies are born farsighted. Their eyes don't focus close up until they are from three to six months old, and it may be a year before their eyes consistently work together, instead of occasionally wandering individually.
A few drops of a special medication temporarily paralyzes the pupil in a dilated state. The doctor is then able to take his time examining the interior of the eye. The paralysis wears off fully in a few hours, but many people just leaving their doctor's office are shocked by the impact of the sunlight on their medicated eyes, thus discovering how wonderful pupillary action usually is.
The kidneys are paired organs that play an essential role in the circulatory system, removing waste products from the blood, while they also regulate the body's fluid and salt content. These small organs process and cleanse the total volume of blood in your body every 50 minutes. About 1,800 quarts (1,710 liters) of blood are pumped to the kidneys per day. Though they account for less than .5 % of your weight, they contain more than 2 million nephrons, microscopic filters,and tubes, which if connected, would extend for almost 50 miles (80.5 kilometers). The kidneys are essential to life. If they fail, their work must be done by a dialysis machine.
*thinks to self, whatever the hell a nephron is*

Infants are born with 350 soft bones, roughly 150 [i]more[/] than a grownup has. But, with passage of time, many of the infant's bones fuse. For instance, five of the spine's original vertebrae slowly combine to form the solid, single lower-back bone called the sacum.
