Human cell structure -- The digestive system -- The lungs and respiratory system -- The heart and cardiovascular system -- The kidneys and organs for excretion -- The bones and muscles -- The brain and nervous system -- The sense organs -- The reproductive system -- The endocrine system -- The immune system
Illustrations are clearly labeled, and organs are shown as they work together in a healthy body. This volume makes a handy home reference book and can also serve as a useful supplement to school science texts. The Human Body makes a fine companion volume to Atlas of Anatomy, published recently by Barron's. (See Backlist, page 00.) The two books differ in that Atlas of Anatomy focuses mainly on the body's structure, while The Human Body views the body as a system of related organs that make up a functioning organism. Illustrations and color graphics on every page.
