Which body part is very hard?

Your teeth contain the hardest substance in the human body — your enamel. Bones aren't quite as hard as enamel, but they rank closely on the hardness scale. Other parts of your body (like muscles, ligaments, and tendons) are incredibly strong, but don't come close to the mineral-based tissue in your teeth and bones.

Between your muscles, skin, cartilage, and bones, your vital organs are surrounded by a structural force field that doubles as an engineering marvel. So what’s the hardest substance in your body? The answer might surprise you. In fact, the most durable and tough substance in your body is actually a tissue. Encasing your teeth and helping you chew, bite, and tear your food is your tooth enamel. That’s the hardest substance in the human body.

pulp Enamel is 96 percent densely packed minerals, which is more mineral than any other tissue your body creates. This makes enamel the perfect protector for your teeth, whether you’re gnashing on jerky or drinking a hot beverage. Just how hard is enamel? Studies at the atomic level have revealed that human tooth enamel is incredibly complex. It consists of tightly bunched together, oblong-shaped mineral crystals that are a thousand times smaller than a strand of your hair. According to the Mohs Hardness Scale, tooth enamel earns a 5. That means it’s about as hard, or harder, than steel. For reference, diamonds are the strongest substance on earth, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale. What about human bones? You might have assumed that bones are the hardest substance in your body. And bones are incredibly tough, also earning a 5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.

Muscles, ligaments, and tendons are also incredibly strong, although they aren’t made up of the hardest materials in your body. Muscles Muscles are made of thousands of highly flexible fibers. Muscles help your bones to move, and also form the walls that surround your organs. Muscles fibers are bound together tightly in groups, which is what gives them their strength. Ligaments Ligaments are made of strong, connective collagen tissue. These bands of tissue are used to hold your joints together and keep your muscles in place throughout different parts of your body. Ligaments are like ropes that keep your muscles from over-extending their reach. Tendons Tendons are also made of connective collagen fibers. Tendons are what connect your muscles to your bones. Tendons are more flexible than ligaments. They also contain fewer blood vessels than your muscles, which makes them more prone to injury. Muscles, ligaments, and tendons are incredibly strong, and have varying degrees of elasticity. But they aren’t particularly hard, and would rank low on Mohs scale.

How long does it take for a man to be ready for round 2?

medicinenet.com - How Long Does a Guy Have to Wait for Round 2? Refractory Period

The male refractory period varies with some men ready for sexual stimulation within a few minutes, while others may require hours to days. There is no definite duration a guy must wait for the second round of sexual intercourse following an orgasm. The duration, referred to as the refractory period, differs from person to person and depends on various factors including general health, age, diet, lifestyle, and libido. Women need only wait a few seconds before the second round, with many even achieving multiple orgasms in one session. In comparison, the male refractory period varies post ejaculation, with some men ready after a few minutes and some men needing several hours to days. Age factor increases the refractory period, meaning older people typically need more time (as many as 24 hours) to get aroused for the next round of sexual stimulation.
