The mechanics of the human body in this book on the brain, senses and nervous system are explained as comparisons to machines which, it is hoped, children will easily understand, such as "microphones" for ears. Extra information is given in fact boxes which explain health problems or issues and the book ends with sections on "care and servicing", in other words looking after yourself and other "models", which concerns the differences between animals and humans.
