Find out how the human body works, from your molars to your metatarsals!This colourful deck of 125 durable, high-gloss cards takes you on a tour of the human body. The cards are grouped according to the 11 systems in the body - including the muscular, skeletal, digestive, and reproductive systems - and each part of each body system has its own card, which clearly explains how the different parts work together to keep us alive and healthy. As you read the cards, you'll find answers to lots of questions, such as- What does the lymphatic system do? How many bones are there in our feet? How do muscles work? Why is my blood red?The cards are designed to help you learn and memorize different parts of the body. The front of the card shows a section of the body (such as the heart), and numbered dots point to different sections of the heart (such as the ventricles and the aorta), and there's also a clue to help you name the body part. Turn over the card, and the back reveals the answer, giving you lots of detail, colourful diagrams and illustrations, and fascinating facts about the complex machine that is our body.
