5.0

What an exceptional book. Great for non-medical laymen. I really appreciate the introductory book on anatomy and physiology.

I can't imagine why it has taken me so long to read about our own bodies. As we get older, we should understand our bodies a bit better and come to learn of what can go wrong and how we can better ourselves by merely looking after ourselves by keeping better dietary and exercise habits.

This book was pretty informative and the graphics were very cool, but it was exhaustingly cis/het (male-this, female-that, puberty=interest in the opposite sex, etc.). Also the heart and lung graphics were confusing because the blood into the lungs was often red and the blood out was often blue, which is weird because red often signals oxygenated blood.
