STICKMEN'S GUIDE TO YOUR BRILLIANT BRAIN

The Stickmen s Guide to the Body take you on four fun and fascinating journeys around your insides to show you how the circulation, nervous and digestive systems, and skeleton and muscles do their brilliant work all day, every day, just for you! Cutaway artworks, with pull-out details and photographs, support the lively, very accessible text that explains the four vital systems that make up that unique, super-successful and all-round amazing machine the human body! Investigate Your Brilliant Brain to see how, along with the nerves of the spinal cord, it runs your nervous system. It s like one big computer network with messages whizzing to and fro all the time whenever you think, see, speak, feel hot or cold, or move in fact when you sense or do anything at all. Those 100 billion neurons in your brain are busy, busy all the time processing information no wonder it uses 20% of the body s energy! And the good news for brainboxes is that bigger and heavier doesn t always mean cleverer...!
