Stuart Stephen. The Visual Dictionary Of Human Anatomy

New York: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd., 1996. — 70 p. — ISBN10: 0773729356, ISBN13: 978-0773729353Human ANATOMY IS THE STUDY of the structure of the body. This book describes the different parts of the body, and how they “fit together” to produce a living human being. The first section (pp. 8-25) describes the various body systems, such as the reproductive system (pp. 24- 25), which each consist of organs that work together to perform particular functions. The second section (pp. 26-59) describes the detailed internal structure of the body. Within this section, the body has been divided into areas: the head and neck (pp. 26-35); the thorax (pp. 38-41), abdomen (pp. 42-47), and pelvic region (pp. 48-51), which together form the trunk (pp. 34-37); the shoulder and upper arm (pp. 52-53); the forearm and hand (pp. 54- 55); the thigh (pp. 56-57); and the lower leg and foot (pp. 58-59). Males and females have the same body areas, but their body shapes and reproductive organs differ. The entire body is covered by skin, a waterproof layer that stops the entry of microorganisms and acts as a sense organ.
