Synopsis

Your Beating Heart reveals how oxygen from your lungs is carried round your body by the blood, pumped by the heart, and taken to the cells every single one of them. This nonstop activity involves trillions of red blood cells and a vast network of arteries, veins and capillaries. You ll find out what the blood is made of, what happens when you exercise, and see how a heart transplant works. Oh, and if your brain is deprived of oxygen for even a few minutes, it will be damaged so it s as well no one has to remember to breathe! The Stickmen s Guide to the Body take you on four fun and fascinating journeys around your insides to show you how the circulation, nervous and digestive systems, and skeleton and muscles do their brilliant work all day, every day, just for you! Cutaway artworks, with pull-out details and photographs, support the lively, very accessible text that explains the four vital systems that make up that unique, super-successful and all-round amazing machine the human body!
