Book of the Body Systems
Your team of 3 at the Duodenum Dynamics Ad Agency has been hired
as a consultant to design a book detailing the Human Body Systems.
Before you can collect your fee from the Anatomy Publishing Bureau,
you must produce the book. The owner of the publishing bureau, Mr.
Homeo Stasis, has informed you that in order to win the contract you
must highlight trendy spots, exciting activities, and imports and exports of
each area. You must also discreetly mention any possible dangers or
special precautions of these systems. Your detailed body book should
include the following systems: 1. Skin, 2. Skeletal, 3. Muscular, 4.
*Digestive,
5. *Circulatory, 6. Respiratory, 7. *Nervous, 8. Excretory,
9. Immune, and 10. Endocrine.
Book is due Friday, February 13, 2015
As always, early work will be greatly appreciated!
