SynopsisSurvive! Inside the Human Body, Volume 1 begins an epic journey through the human body with a look at the digestive system. This lively, full-color science comic explores Phoebe's insides after she accidentally swallows a microscopic ship. The only problem? Dr. Brain (the ship's eccentric inventor) and Phoebe's friend Geo are on board! Geo and Dr. Brain must avoid danger at every turn--like hazardous stomach acid and feeding parasites. (Ew!) Will they escape? You've got a front-row seat as they travel through Phoebe's esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Have you ever wondered... -How antacids work? -How our bodies break down food and absorb nutrients? -Why we have sphincters? -How the stomach protects itself from its own acid? -How doctors cure patients who have parasites living in their digestive systems? -Why we have trillions of friendly microbes living inside of us?
