Explores the various functions and parts of the body, including how it moves, how skin works, how the brain works, and more.

Presents an illustrated description of the human body, describing the formation of cells, the coordination of the muscular and skeletal systems, the nervous system, the five senses, the circulatory system, respiration and nutrition, and reproduction.

Investigates science facts and concepts related to the body and health, with photographs and cartoon illustrations, historical background, and mini quizzes.

Explores the respiratory and circulatory systems of the human body. Beginning with the respiratory system, the complex process of breathing is explored. Animated graphics depicts the passage of oxygen from the nose to the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. Describes the functions of cardiovascular system, examining the function of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.

"This title allows children to discover what their bodies are actually made up of and how being healthy on the inside impacts how healthy bodies look and feel on the outside, too"--OCLC.

Presents an illustrated examination of the anatomy and physiology of the human body, looking at the design, workings, ailments, and care of the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, and muscular systems.

"[Looks at the] basic anatomy and physiology of the human body and how bones, muscles, organs, and nerves work together to make walking, running, and all other movement possible."--Back cover.

Using microphotography to explore the hidden world inside the human body, this program covers three incredible team efforts: the coordination of muscles, bones, heart and circulatory system that makes Mike Powell the world's greatest long jumper; the digestive dynamo that turns a simple sandwich eaten by five-time Olympic gold medalist Bonnie Blair into raw energy for a blistering sprint down the ice; and the ultimate event--the development of a new human life inside track star Karen Hatchett.
