Its coverage spans how body parts function, including the heart and blood, the skeleton, disease defenses and the life cycle, with a section on balanced diets. Photographs, diagrams and CGI artwork accompany the explanations, while quizzes add opportunities to check understanding and try logic and reasoning questions. The updated edition presents human biology through a mix of visual reference material, facts and interactive activities.
