Health & Anatomy: How Your Body Works (THE STUFF YOU FORGOT YOU LEARNED, Band 8) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Quick quiz: What does your liver actually do? How does your immune system work?

You live in your body every day. Time to learn how it runs.

You probably can't name half the organs in your body, and the ones you can name — you're not entirely sure what they do. Your doctor says words and you nod.

This book covers how your major systems work: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, and immune. It explains what your doctor is actually checking at your annual physical, what blood pressure numbers mean, and why your body does all those weird things you've been too embarrassed to Google.

You'll learn why you get fevers, what cholesterol actually is, and how your body fights off illness without you even knowing it.

No med school jargon. Just the stuff that matters, explained so it sticks.

HEALTH & ANATOMY: How Your Body Works covers:

• Bones, Muscles, and the Cardiovascular System
• Respiratory, Digestive, and Nervous Systems
• Immune, Endocrine, and Lymphatic Systems
• The Senses and the Reproductive System
• Aging, Exercise, and What Goes Wrong
• Practical Takeaways for Your Actual Life

Part of The Stuff You Forgot You Learned series — 20 quick, smart refreshers for adults who want to sound like they paid attention in school.
