cells

"Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell somehow keep running into each other--could their bond have been fated since childhood? Either way, the body they live and work in can't seem to catch a break. From food poisoning to heat exhaustion to the threat of cancer, life in the body is as busy as it is dangerous, but the hard-working cells that keep it (and you) running are up to the task!"--Back cover.

"Strep throat! Hay fever! Influenza! The world is a dangerous place for a red blood cell just trying to her deliveries finished. Fortunately, she's not alone... she's got a whole human body's worth of cells ready to help out! The mysterious white blood cells, the buff and brash killer T cells, even the cute little platelets--everyone's got to come together if they want to keep you healthy. Together, these dedicated cells will tackle everything from pneumonia to everyday allergies, and it's all in a day's work!"--Back cover.

An introduction to animals cells, covering where they are found, different types, how they are studied, and more.

Text and illustrations provide an introduction to cells and the systems of the human body by using a series of questions and answers.

"You can't see them, but every living thing is made up of cells. They are the building blocks of life. And each cell has a specific function. What do the cells in your blood do? What about the cells in your eyes? You might be surprised to learn how these tiny cells have such important duties"--Provided by publisher.

Examines the history of cellular evolution, arguing that the evolution of multicellular life--such as fungi, plants, animals, and humans--was contingent on the first successful prokaryotic endosymbiosis, or a bacterium living within another bacterium.

Gives kids a fascinating look inside the human body and introduces them to the concept that the body is made up of smaller parts called organ systems.

Bill Nye the Science Guy answers questions about cells, and conducts an experiment that demonstrates how different seeds sprout.

Introduces the various organ systems that make up the human body, discusses their individual functions, and looks at how they all work together.

Microphotography and graphics provide viewers with a close up look at cells, investigating their various parts, and discussing cell specialization and reproduction.
