3-D Human Body
Want to add depth to your knowledge of the human body? Ideal for young readers, 3-D Human Body brings anatomy and physiology to life. Spread throughout the book are six special activating boxes that indicate the presence of digital pop-outs; when held up to a webcam attached to your PC, they feature amazing digital animation on the screen. Using this “augmented reality,” we witness a moving, breathing human body; a running skeleton; a beating heart; and more.
Even without a computer, you’ll find a wealth of fascinating information about your body’s structure and function. We learn, for example, about the surprisingly complex architecture of the human cell, and see how cells divide and incorporate the genetic material in the nucleus. We look under the surface of our skin, and learn that the skull is constructed from 22 bones, 21 of which are locked together. How do joints and muscles work? You’ll find the answers here.
In later sections, we peer into the human brain and see how different cognitive tasks are handled by different regions of this organ. One hundred billion neurons form a processing and communication network across the whole brain. Following a tour of the nervous system, we examine the mechanics of reflex actions, the dynamics of taste and smell, and hearing and vision. Not only do we learn that the eye can distinguish between 10 million colors; we see how six muscles control its movement. Further along, we examine how blood helps defend the body against invasion by germs; witness the bronchial tree, the mass of passages that carry air into and out of the lungs; and examine the function of the digestive system.
3-D Human Body explores the wonders of our selves in an innovative new way.
