Beschreibung
Did you know you have cobwebs in your head, hair in your lungs, and snails in your ears? In the world of anatomy, every name paints a picture: from the arachnoid mater, a brain membrane resembling a spider's web, to the ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract (from the Latin for "eyelash") and the curlicue cochleas (from the Greek for "snail") that power our hearing.

Quirky, bizarre, and beautiful, Anatomical Oddities traverses the body's crypts, islets, and mountains to reveal a secret map of organ, tissue, and bone-complete with peculiar place names (duodenum, from the Greek for "twelve-fingers-long part of the gut") and overlooked but essential regions (like the orbicularis oculi, the muscle that lets us blink). Featuring stunning original artwork by the author-acclaimed science writer and presenter Alice Roberts- these fifty-seven brief lessons in anatomy lay bare the intricate details of the human body, the history of those who unearthed its secrets, and the rich world of language that gives us form.
