Your amazing body

Summary/Abstract |
Breaking a bone hurts! But did you know that your amazing body starts to mend the break straight away? That ache happens because damaged nerve cells send out a cry for help. In response, red blood cells rush in to bring oxygen and nutrients. White blood cells clean up the dead bone and muscle cells. Blood also brings firboblast cells. They build a sort of scaffolding around the break so that new bone will fill in. And stem cells arrive to transform themselves into cells that will make brand new bone. The whole area becomes an active construction site as your body battles the damage and heals itself. Real microphotos and clear illustrations support a vivid text that shows how our super cells fight disease and mend our broken bones.
