You are made up of about 10 trillion human cells-- but there are about 100 trillion microbial cells in and on your copy.

While much of the prevailing discussion around the microbiome has focused on its implications...

Describes different kinds of microorganisms found in the human body, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mites, discusses their role in helping the body digest food and prevent disease, and includes advice on how to avoid the harmful effects of microbes.

Introduces muscles and their parts, their voluntary and involuntary functions within the body, muscle diseases, and how to keep muscles healthy.

Infographics illustrate facts about the human body, providing information about such topics as bone structure, musculature, the senses, and the nervous system.
