[edit] Intro One

As humans, we are born with amazing bodies. Our bodies are made up of many systems which all work together in order to keep us alive and working. These systems allow us to do many things, many of which we take for granted such as breathing, thinking, moving, tasting, touching, seeing, and hearing. Our bodies allow us to do all of this in return for being fed, given water and air. These three basic things allow our body to function, and although we as people may require more, the body needs only those three basic things: food, water, and air. The objective of this book is to educate everyone who reads it regarding all aspects of the human body; its functions, its needs, its strengths, and its weaknesses. With this book, you will learn all the basics regarding all the systems and parts of the human. All the contributors hope that you find this book both informative and educational. Thank you for reading!
