Human Physiology on File (New ed)

An ideal complement to Human Anatomy On File[trademark], New Edition, this New Edition presents all the physiological processes of the body in visual detail.

The collection clearly shows how the body's systems and components function.

With its companion, these two volumes provide the most comprehensive source of reproducible images of the human body.

Human Physiology On File[trademark], New Edition illustrates the answers to such questions as: What happens to cells that are cancerous?

How do the sense organs work? How do broken bones and wounds heal? What happens when a muscle is pulled? What is an upset stomach? How do antibodies work and what happens when they fall?

Why do we need to eat? What causes "mouthwatering?"
