Opis

The Facts On File Illustrated Guide to the Human Body provides a wide-ranging, visual reference to the human body. This new eight-volume set contains information on anatomy, physiology, major ailments, and healthy lifestyles, with each volume covering a distinct body system. Volumes include the brain and nervous system, cells and genetics, the digestive system, the heart and circulatory system, the reproductive system, the respiratory system, the senses, and the skeletal and muscular systems. The highly visual presentation and extensive two-color illustrations--more than 2,000 across the set--help simplify complex topics and bring concepts to life. Devised to support the national curriculum, the clear and concise text covers system functions step by step, often using straightforward lists that accompany pictures, for quick and easy understanding. Chapters in each book discuss the structure and function of a body system, major organs and elements, needs and support (food, exercise, etc.), key words, interaction with other body systems, relevant diseases, and more.
