Countless chemicals, fluids and substances mix and merge to make the complex life form we call a human being. In this book Widmaier deconstructs the fundamental processes of the human body and focuses on those vital biological substances that are well understood. Offers answers to many questions on how the body works.
This Volume of BIOLOGY covers Chemistry, Cell Biology, and Genetics. The Brooker et. al text features an evolutionary focus with an emphasis on scientific inquiry.
Why are elephants' ears so big? Why do humans get the bends when dolphins don't? Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories (50 Christmas dinners) daily without gaining weight! If we had the metabolism of a shrew, we could, and we would have to. In this text, Eric Widmaier offers a physiologist's view of the features and abilities humans and ...
