How the Circulatory System Works
Samenvatting
This book includes 10 lectures in a light, entertaining style, with each "lecture" building on the previous one – making it easy for the reader to comprehend the vastly complicated functions of the circulatory system.
The length of the text has intentionally been kept short; it is neither exhaustively complete nor over–simplified. It is enriched by details about basic biologic mechanisms and clever ways nature has solved a problem or achieved a result.
