Product Description
What's the difference between a skeletal muscle and a smooth muscle? How do the eyes process visual information? Where are blood cells made? What does the pancreas do? Children and adults can find the answers to these and many other questions in Know Your Body, a richly illustrated guide to how the body works. Created by an expert team of anatomical illustrators and medical writers, this unique home reference explains each of the body's systems - skeletal, skin, muscular, lymph-vascular, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, excretory, digestive, and reproductive - through color paintings, photographs, and a detailed, easy-to-understand text. From how many bones there are in the human body (206) to how many taste buds there are on the human tongue (9,000), Know Your Body satisfies people's natural curiosity about what goes on under the skin.

 Know Your Body: The Atlas of Anatomy
This is a great starter book for learning how the body works. Great illustrations, and easy to understand, yet thorough with explanations. Good text book.

 Good for Students and Curious Minds
I plan to go into forensic science and I figured this would really help me in the future. I love the amimation, it is very detailed. This is a great reference book.

Great reference tool. ( cdnvegan )
This is another great A&P reference book that I had to add to my collection. It's well written so you don't need a degree to understand it. Each body system is covered very well with the main points explained in depth. The diagrams are excellent and plentiful. I would certainly recommend this book to any A&P student. It's inexpensive enough and extremely useful that you can add it to your collection without it collecting dust

The best quality/price reference for non-professionals
This book is intended for non-medical professionals, and thusdoes not explain things in much detail or depth. However, it explainsenough for the people who are interested in health and human physiology. One of the strength of this book is that the author tries to explain how things work in human body. This isn't just the atlas like other atlas books where authors simply list lots of terminologies of the parts with the figures (only with few explanations). Especially, I liked the way the author explains about how hormone system works. One might wonder the quality of the pictures (or the book overall) would be any good considering the price of this book, and I can say that this is a quality book. This book is published in 1999, so I guess that at least it has the most updated information regarding human body. I can hardly think of any other book that can surpass the quality/price ration that this book offers. There is another book that is complementary to this book: Atlas of the Human Body, by Takeo Takahashi. Some pictures are better in Takahashi's book (actually, many figures are better). But this book is more expensive and published in 1995. If you need only one "Know Your Body" will be the one to choose, because it has more explanations of "why/how". In my case, I bought both. Note that these books may not be intended for medical professionals, they are detailed enough to get you bored unless you are really interested in human body, health, and physiology. So, be prepared. It is like a text book reading.
