How the human body actually works: the brain, immune system, sleep, senses, aging, and the everyday biology behind being alive — explained simply and accurately.
The heart beats more than 100,000 times per day without a single conscious command, regulated by an electrical system so precise that it can be measured from electrodes on the skin. Here is how that system works, from the first spark in the SA node to the pressure wave that reaches your fingertips.
