Overview
From the skeleton to skin cells, lungs to lymph nodes, adrenal glands to aorta, Human Anatomy provides an authoritative guide to every aspect and function of the human body. Compiled by a team of medical experts, this vivid guide combines scientifically accurate artworks with straightforward accessible language, taking the reader through the workings of human anatomy. Along the way, the book explains everything from how we digest food, to how we blink, to how the body deteriorates with age. The book is divided into 13 chapters, covering: genetics and cells; skin, hair and nails; the musculoskeletal system; the nervous system; the senses; the cardiovascular system; the respiratory system; the digestive system; the kidneys and urinary system; the lymphatic and immune systems; the endocrine system; the reproductive system; and aging and death. In these pages, the reader can learn about the workings of the shoulder joint, and role of synovial fluid in maintaining flexibility; explore the network of respiratory airways that connect the larynx to the alveoli; and understand the lymphatic system, and its essential function in defending against invading micro-organisms. With detailed annotations accompanying more than 400 accurate artworks, Human Anatomy is an easy-to-understand guide to how the body works that would make a perfect addition to every student and home library.
