From the skeleton to skin cells, lungs to lymph nodes, adrenal glands to aorta, Human Anatomy provides an authoritative guide to every aspect and function of the human body. Compiled by a team of medical experts, this vivid guide combines scientifically accurate artworks with straightforward accessible language, taking the reader through the workings of human anatomy. Along the way, the book explains everything from how we digest food, to how we blink, to how the body deteriorates with age.
