About this audiobook
What keeps the human body alive, and how do its systems work together?
Physiology: How the Human Body Works takes you from cellular processes to the coordinated activity of the entire organism, and it is designed from the first word to be heard, not read. No diagrams to look at. No tables to memorize. Just clear storytelling, vivid analogies, and everyday examples that build pictures in your mind.
Discover how cells produce energy, how muscles generate movement, how the nervous and endocrine systems regulate body functions, and how the heart, lungs, kidneys, and digestive system maintain internal balance.
Explore metabolism, immunity, reproduction, and the mechanisms that allow the body to adapt to exercise, stress, and changing conditions.
Perfect for curious beginners, students, and anyone who wants to understand how the human body works without drowning in jargon.
Science, Designed for Listening.
