Anatomía de Kay

Have you ever wondered how your body works? Discover in this book why the human body is like a perfectly programmed and synchronized machine, capable of performing hundreds of amazing functions at the same time without us even realizing it... With insight, a great sense of humor and hilarious illustrations, the doctor Adam Kay invites us to tour the entire human body, organ by organ, to discover its unusual and amazing secrets. For example: did you know that the brain can process 400 trillion things in a second, that the heart pumps enough blood each day to fill ninety bathtubs, and that the lungs expel enough air each day to blow up a thousand balloons? And although the skin is the largest organ we have, it is not the outermost part of the body because it is always surrounded by an invisible cloud of tiny scales that shed from it, along with cells that expel the organs every time we talk, yawn or we sneeze... Kay's Anatomy is a complete, useful and very entertaining manual to answer all questions about our body.
