Product Description
In Repairing and Replacing Organs, we find out how the body's organs and systems are organised, and discover how science enables amazing repairs to be made when things go wrong. We learn about wear and tear in the skeleton's joints, the importance of matching organ donors to patients, efforts to create artificial organs, and how stem cell research offers new opportunities for repairing the body.
