Описание:

The 15th title in Firefly Books bestselling and renowned Subject Bible series covering all aspects of human life.

Praise for the series:

Dont let the format fool you; the concepts are quite sophisticated, so many entries are brief but dense. Good for answering news-related ready reference questions and, despite its small size, suitable for circulating collections.
--Booklist

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.
