Features: This book applies various illustrated methods to reveal the complex structure of the human body. It contains over a thousand images that illustrate the structure of the human body and provide examples of seemingly simple processes that we take for granted, such as breathing and heartbeat. In addition to normal anatomy and function, the book provides examples and descriptions of the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and abnormalities over a broader range, including many common surgical procedures. The human body is composed of millions of cells. These tiny cells form the tissues and organs of a person, and the tissues and organs then create a wonderful and vibrant individual. This book uses over 1,000 exquisite medical sketches combined with modern medical imaging photographs, along with concise text, to introduce the normal structure and functional state of each system, organ, and tissue of the human body. It describes and demonstrates the etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment measures of over 150 common clinical diseases, including surgery. For example: how the heart continuously beats throughout life; how the human body develops from a single cell; how coronary heart disease occurs and is treated. This book is the most vivid and to date, demonstrating the entire mysterious process of the human body.
