Your body is so amazing. It's a combination of muscles, bones, arteries, and various organs, including your great brain. To get an inside peek at some parts of your incredible body, take a look at this page from Levit Radiologic-Pathologic Institute. Your body looks a whole lot different from the inside! Hint: The term "inferior brain" just means it is looked at from below; "superior brain" means the view is from above.

Anatomy of the skin

What's your body biggest organ (and we don't mean pipe organ)? It's your skin! You probably don't think too often about your skin, but it's there holding your body like a great big wrapper. To see your skin from the vantage point of an electron microscope, take a look at the "ultra structure of skin" from this page at the Mie University (Japan) School of Medicine. Get a close-up look at the various skin layers and see what happens if they get infected.

This site makes a lot of sense. You can see what we mean if you touch base here. In fact, we hear that there are really nine senses: taste, sight, hearing, touch, smell, hunger, thirst, pain, and balance. This page was created by kids as an entry in the ThinkQuest Junior contest. In it, you'll get a taste of all the senses; the research here smells OK to us.

Probably the only time you think about your heart is when you run fast and you feel it beating in your chest. Or maybe you think about your heart when you put your hand over it and you feel it go thump, thump. Even if you don't think much about your heart, everybody knows the heart is important. After all, without hearts, what shape would valentines be? To learn all kinds of cool things about the heart, check out the Franklin Institute's info. You'll never take your heart for granted again!

Neuroscience for Kids — Explore the NS

When you bite into a chocolate bar, how do you know it's delicious? How do you know to say “Ouch!” when you get stung by a mosquito? Little sensors called neurons are all over your body, and they carry messages to your brain through a system of nerves. Your brain then sorts everything out. This resource is crammed with great info about brains, your senses, spinal cords, and careers in neuroscience. Be aware, though, that many of these folks go to school for 20 years before they become neuroscientists!
