About this title

Synopsis:

The human body is made up of over 100 million cells. They are the tiny building blocks out of which the body's tissues and organs are formed and together these parts make up a marvellously synchronised living community. This exciting book uses spectacular medical drawings plus images derived from new technologies as an inspiring aid to understanding the anatomy and function of the body and many of its common disorders. Images work together with crystal-clear language to bring the key concepts to life - such as how the heart keeps beating constantly throughout life or how instructions for the entire body's growth are held in every single cell. Never before has it been possible to learn so much so quickly about the human body both female and male in sickness and in health and from birth to old age.
