书籍简介

继屡获殊荣的《奇特人体残骸博物馆》之后，又一部妙趣横生——有时甚至有点恶心——的内分泌和外分泌系统探索之旅即将开启。

本书是激发8-12岁儿童对STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）兴趣的理想之选。

快来加入我们，参观这座神奇的“工厂”——你体内一个引人入胜的系统！

人体无比奇妙。在你体内，各种系统都在努力运转，确保你的心跳不会过快或过慢，体温不会过高或过低，也不会让你在学校的课桌上睡着（至少大多数时候是这样）。无论你做什么，你的身体都倾向于保持平衡。事实上，幸福健康的生活就取决于这种平衡。而这种平衡又依赖于腺体。

在《腺体工厂》中，你将近距离观察你的内分泌和外分泌系统，了解腺体如何快速地膨胀、收缩、渗出、修复、消化，并维持身体的平衡。丰富的附录包括延伸阅读建议、“腺体工厂概览”以及对书中探索过的所有奇妙而又令人作呕的腺体的详细词汇表。

旅程中的每一站都会介绍一些关键腺体和激素的运作方式，其中包括：

口腔机器（唾液腺）

糖分制造大师（胰腺）

主控中心（下丘脑）

当有害细菌入侵腺体工厂时，免疫系统会立即启动，奋力恢复秩序。《腺体工厂》这本书既有点怪异，又有点恶心，但趣味十足，是一次令人难忘的人体探索之旅！

From the award-winning creators of The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers, comes a wonderfully fun—sometimes gross—exploration of the endocrine and exocrine systems.

A perfect book for engaging kids ages 8-12 in STEM.

Step right up for a tour of one incredible factory—a fascinating system inside your body!

The human body is all kinds of amazing. Inside you, systems are working hard to make sure your heart doesn’t beat too fast or too slow, you aren’t too hot or too cold, and you don’t fall asleep on your desk at school (most of the time, anyways). No matter what you do, your body tends to exist in a state of balance. In fact, a happy, healthy life depends on that balance. And that balance depends on glands.

In The Gland Factory, you’ll get an up-close look at your endocrine and exocrine systems, where glands are feverishly swelling, shrinking, oozing, healing, digesting, and maintaining balance. Extensive backmatter includes a suggested further reading list, a “Gland Factory Survey” and a detailed glossary of all the wonderfully gross glands explored.

Each stop on the tour introduces fascinating facts about how some key glands and hormones work, including:

The Mouth Machine (the salivary glands)

The Sugar Boss (the pancreas)

The Main Control (the hypothalamus)

When the factory is infiltrated by nasty germs, the immune system springs into action, fighting hard to restore order. A little weird, a little gross, and more than a little fun, The Gland Factory is an unforgettable exploration of the human body!
