The Anatomy Bible: The Incredible Biology of You
The 15th title in Firefly Books' bestselling and renowned Subject Bible series covering all aspects of human life.
Like the previous titles in this series, The Anatomy Bible delivers a concise and entertaining package of authoritative information on a fundamental aspect of human existence; in this case, the bones and muscles and organs that make up human anatomy, the one common element of all human life.
The 13 illustrated chapters cover:
The Fundamentals -- The discovery and application of knowledge of human anatomy; the language of anatomy
Bit by Bit -- Organization of your body from cellular to chromosomal, to tissues and organs
The Ultimate Packaging Material -- The 3 layers of skin that protect us; fat, hair, glands and nails
Move Your Body -- The musculoskeletal system, bone; tendons, ligaments and muscles; cartilage and bone growth; aging
A Blood Red Superhighway -- The heart, arteries, capillaries, veins, oxygen
The Security Force -- Immunity and wound repair; lymphocytes; hypersensitivity
A Paramount Exchange -- Respiration and lungs
The Hub -- The nervous system; neurons, axons, the brain parts, cortices, the senses
Just A Messenger -- Chemicals and glands
GIT -- Upper and lower gastrointestinal tract and its parts, from mouth to throat to stomach to lower intestines; liver and gallbladder
Your Waterway Networks -- The urinary system; kidneys, bladder, ureter and urethra; blood filtering; blood pressure
Making Babies -- Structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems; genetics and inherited characteristics
Looking Ahead -- 21st-century anatomy. The other titles in this wide-ranging series specialize in topics of interest for everyone and others that are more specialized, but we all have a body and, for the most part, they all work the same way. The Anatomy Bible is a wonderful reference to its secrets and an ideal selection for all readers.
