The BBC's Making of Me and You asks a few questions about your age, volume and sex, and derives from that a chart describing your composition. We are all much alike, one presumes, but the details are fascinating.

Instantly find out:

• The chemical ingredients that make up you, and what your body is worth

• How many atoms you are made of, and what can be made with them

• How many fat, blood, skin and brain cells you have

• How much genetic data is inside you

• How many other microbes live on your body with you

• The size and weight of your internal organs

• How much wee, poo, sperm or eggs you have produced so far

• How many times you have blinked, breathed, yawned and farted

• And so much more
