Books with title The Anatomy of the Human Body ..

Six entertaining new books have been added to Science Alive! Children will get a thrill out of participating in simple, fun experiments that help show how different scientific principles work. They will also be inspired by history boxes that offer short biographies of scientists and inventors. The body is a magnificent machine! The Human Body describes how our lungs, brain, and senses work. Easy-to-follow experiments help children create an artificial ear, and learn about gravity and why we become dizzy.

One hundred trillion cells, more than 600 muscles, and over 200 bones—these are parts of the twelve major systems that make up the human body. Technological developments have given us a detailed glimpse within our bodies and led to a greater understanding of how we function. Starting with the integumentary system (that's your skin, nails, and hair) and finishing with the reproductive system, the human body covers everything about you—from the outside to the inside. Award-winning science writer Seymour Simon has teamed up with the Smithsonian Institution on this new book about the greatest wonder of the world: the human body.

The human body is made up of 12 unique systems. The systems work together to keep the body healthy and running. Without these systems, we couldn’t walk, talk, or digest food. Doctors spend years learning about the human body and how to treat it when something goes wrong. Illnesses and injuries prevent the body from functioning correctly. Knowing how the systems run helps us to stay in the best physical shape possible. For more information, read Hippocrates: Father of Medicine, another book in the Mission: Science series.
