In articles ranging from 12 to 24 pages, Anatomy and Physiology: An Illustrated Guide takes a comparative look at nine biological systems and at their foundations in cell biology and genetics. The nine systems covered are the circulatory; digestive and excretory; endocrine and exocrine; immune, defense, and lymphatic; muscular; nervous; reproductive; respiratory; and skeletal. Drawing on examples from across the animal, plant, and other kingdoms of life, these ten articles focus readers’ attention on similarities and contrasts in life’s structures and functions. An extraordinary array of detailed and carefully captioned illustrations was designed to make sophisticated biological knowledge accessible to the general reader.
