Excerpts

Cells are the building blocks of all parts of the human body, and groups of cells form the tissues and organs that keep us alive. In addition, many different types of cells make up the skin, which is the body's first line of defense against invading microorganisms. This book explores the properties of cells and the various different types, and how they work together to sustain life.
