Illustrated with color drawings and photographs, this book introduces the musculoskeletal system which controls our breathing, allows our eyes to focus, and shapes our smiles and the skin which wraps our body in a tough layer of tissue that keeps moisture in and germs out.
Discusses the function and composition of bones, muscles, cartilage, joints, and tendons, describing how they work and fit together and how exercise benefits the body, and includes a glossary and color illustrations.
