From basic biology and the lymphatic system to human growth and development, this comprehensive reference -- organised by systems of the body -- makes the sometimes perplexing nature of anatomy understandable through an engaging question-and-answer format. In addition to the science itself, the people and history behind anatomy are discussed. More than 1,200 questions are answered, including Do identical twins have the same fingerprints?
