The questions have been culled from thousands asked by teens Presented in a question-and-answer format, a comprehensive guide to the circulatory system discusses blood poisoning, heartburn, and a wealth of other relevant topics and features tables, source notes, graphs, photographs, and black-and-white line art as well as a glossary and an index.
