Human Body Systems — www.greenwood.com

Imprint: Greenwood Press

The human body is made up of systems of organs, which, when working properly, allow people to go through their daily tasks without a second thought. When the system, or one of its organs, malfunctions, doctors must work with patients to determine optimal treatments to restore organ function and health. Researchers are developing new and improved treatments all the time. This ten-volume series looks at each of the human body's systems in detail. Each volume:

Introduces the system and its component parts

Explains how the system works and its importance to health

Details common malfunctions and diseases of the system

Discusses typical tests and treatments

Traces important discoveries about this body system through history

Identifies the doctors, scientists, and researchers who have made key discoveries

Presents with a discussion about the future of the body system, including what researchers are still trying to learn about how the system works, and potential new therapies to solve as-yet-untreatable diseases and injuries

Provides fascinating facts about the body system, and a list of resources for further information.
