Full Description
From the skeleton to skin cells, lungs to lymph nodes, adrenal glands to aorta, Human Anatomy provides an authoritative pocket 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. The book is divided into 12 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; and the reproductive system. 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 each of the 150 scientifically accurate artworks, Human Anatomy is wide-ranging, expertly written and easy to understand.
