Understanding Your Muscles & Bones by Rebecca Treays

Discover What Keeps Your Body Moving

Very Good Condition - Light surface marks to the white covers and slight wear to edges. Corners sharp.

Rebecca Treays looks beneath the skin to explain how muscles and bones support the body and make movement possible. Part of Usborne's Science for Beginners series, the book shows how the skeleton fits together, how muscles act on it and why some muscles keep working even when we are resting. Breathing, the heartbeat, growth and the repair of broken bones form part of the wider picture. Illustrated explanations also connect exercise and training with different kinds of strength and sporting activity. Friendly artwork and short factual sections make the subject approachable, giving young readers a foundation for understanding the structures that let them stand, run, jump and take part in everyday life.
