The human digestive system plays an important role in processing
food in order to provide nutrients that the body can use. This
well-illustrated text presents the basics of anatomy, physiology
and disease of the human digestive system by answering a series of
questions relevant to the various components of this system. For
example, in studying the stomach, the following questions are
examined: 1) Where is the stomach located? 2) What does the stomach
look like? 3) What does the stomach do? 4) Where do gastric juices
come from? 5) What causes ulcers? 6) What causes a stomach ache?
and 7) What causes burping? Additionally, most chapters are filled
with unusual trivia related to the part of the body being
discussed. For example, there was a 42-year-old woman who
complained of mild abdominal pain and had 2533 objects removed from
her stomach, including 947 pins. The text provides a fun and
interesting way to learn more about the digestive system. The text
is ideal, whether you are looking for an entertaining and
informative read on the workings of the human digestive tract or
looking for a text or resource for biology or health classes.
