Author Description

The Blueprint for Health series of charts illustrated by Kate Sweeney are designed to make human anatomy come alive for kids. Colorful, clear pictures help to explain concepts. Examples and activities make learning and understanding fun and easy. Your Respiratory System (from the Blueprint for Health charts series) is an ideal tool for educating pediatric patients and school aged kids. This chart describes why we breathe and illustrates the respiratory system and the role of important organs such as the brain, nose, trachea, lungs, heart, and diaphragm. It shows what happens inside the lungs and the flow of air during the breathing process and shows smoke-damaged alveoli. The chart includes fun facts ("You take over 20,000 breaths a day!"), how to make a model of your lungs, and answers to questions like "Why do I yawn?" and "How do I laugh?" Bright colors, bold figures, and appealing, anatomically correct illustrations make learning enjoyable. made in USA Available in the following versions 20" x 26" heavy paper laminated with grommets at top corners ISBN 9781587797415 20" x 26" heavy paper ISBN 9781587797408 set of all 9 Blueprint for Health charts - laminated versions # KSSET9
