This book explains how the body's circulatory and respiratory systems work and shows how they are essential for life. It takes a close look at how we breathe and speak, how the heart beats and how blood works. It considers problems which can occur with the heart and lungs and what we can do to keep them healthy.
The 'Our Bodies' series explains the nuts and bolts of the human body: its structure, how it works, how it can occasionally go wrong - and how we, with such knowledge, can prevent it going wrong. Each book includes case studies to illustrate how the body works, as well as features on health and medicine.
The books offers a perspective on how the body looks through a microscope and contrast the workings of the human body with the bodies of animals. The clear and lively text explains the body in fascinating and intricate detail and is complemented by stunning photographs and specially-commissioned artwork.
