AN exhibition exploring the most gross aspects of human nature will leave the region next week.

Grossology, the Impolite Science of the Human Body, has been a massive success for the Life Science Centre, in Newcastle.

The exhibition uses interactive games to explain how the body's biology works.

About 120,000 visitors have learnt about our smelliest and slimiest bodily functions.

The centre's next exhibition, A-Mazing Seas, opens on October 23. For details, call the centre on 0191-243 8210, or visit www.lifescience centre.co.uk
