Our fascination with our bodies and how they work, why they go wrong, and what to do to heal them is boundless. The
Human Body takes readers on a fascinating journey inside their bodies, from head to toe.
- Includes more than 300 entries and is divided into 8 easy-to-navigate sections: head and neck, spine and spinal chord, thorax, arms, abdomen, pelvis, legs, and whole body systems.
- Each entry is accompanied by a quick reference information table that includes body system, location, function, components, and related parts.
- Artwork and annotations on the various bones, muscles, internal organs, blood vessels and nerves, help provide a complete picture of a specific area of the body.
- Detailed enough for medial or nursing students, the Human Body also makes a helpful reference guide for general readers.
