Learning About the Endocrine and Reproductive Systems

The endocrine system is essential to human life. It enables a person to grow, respond to change and stress, and helps turn food into energy. The reproductive system has one crucial task: that of making the next generation of people. Readers learn how these two remarkable systems work together to ensure survival of the human race.

* Reviews *

Each book in this slightly revised series uses medically correct terms and gives a description of the body parts, organs, and fluids that are involved in the featured system. The anatomical and physiological information found in the first three chapters is easily available elsewhere. However, each title also contains a chapter on possible diseases, etc., plus another chapter that gives hints about how to keep the system healthy. Readers will enjoy "amazing but true" facts. Full-color anatomically accurate labeled diagrams complement the text. Libraries owning the original series do not need to purchase this. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index.
