Features: To make interesting information more accessible to readers, we have divided this book into seven parts. The first five chapters describe the composition and structure of the body, support and movement, regulation and control, self-maintenance, and reproduction, as well as the changes in development throughout the entire life process. To broaden the scope of the content covered in these five chapters, we have also interspersed some self-contained sections on special topics. This book provides a comprehensive timeline and glossary, but it is the sixth part that truly expands the content, exploring how human understanding of the body and the development of medicine have advanced hand in hand from ancient times to the present. It reveals how we came to understand and comprehend such seemingly obvious things today, such as how blood circulates in the body and why people get sick, which once baffled our ancestors and consumed all their wisdom and creativity. This book is compiled by a team of renowned medical experts. New research findings and realistic images reveal the details of the human body, clear diagrams illustrate different parts of the body, and engaging historical snippets trace the story of medicine from ancient Greece to the present day.
