T he study of the human body is fascinating and
complex, with its own technical language, which
can seem inaccessible or difficult to navigate. This book
doesn’t try to explain or name everything but provides
you with an easy-to-follow introduction describing how
the body is built and how it works.
As you travel from one part of the body to the next,
read the introductions to learn more, looking for clues in
the text along the way. You’ll then encounter a related
set of puzzles with illustrations from the iconic medical
reference text Gray’s Anatomy, each designed to
encourage you to think more carefully about our anatomy
and physiology. Entertaining, and all different, the
puzzles will test your powers of observation and general
knowledge, challenging you to unravel anagrams, crack
codes, find missing pieces, link up matching parts and
decipher cryptic clues.
Tackle the puzzles on your own or with friends, and in
any order you like. Some are straightforward, but others
will require more thought and closer scrutiny – so that
you’ll want to turn back the pages and discover things
you may have missed.
