Your heart pumps blood constantly through 60,000 miles of blood vessels. Together, the heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the circulatory system. This system delivers oxygen from your lungs to the cells and organs of your body, and helps remove waste products. Readers explore the circulatory system with the aid of numerous photographs and revealing illustrations. This volume also includes information about disorders and diseases of the circulatory system, as well as tips on how to keep the system healthy.

Gr 4-6-Six major body systems are introduced, allowing students to delve beneath epidermal layers to better understand the body's internal functions. Foundational life science concepts are interspersed with interesting facts, e.g., the tongue is unlike most skeletal muscles because it is attached to bone on just one end, stated in "In the Flesh" text boxes. Vivid diagrams are labeled and coordinated to the text. Diseases common to each system and correlative health tips are included in each volume. While highly informative, the average stock photos and dense texts might cause kids to treat the series like too much broccoli served at one sitting.
