Surviving the unimaginable: how much can you lose and still live?

Life’s Little Mysteries examines how much of the body a person can lose and still survive, explaining the limits of bodily tolerances for tissue and blood loss, and it features an interactive bones quiz that tests readers on skeletal facts (e.g., the adult skeleton has about 206 bones; largest bone is the femur; smallest is the stapes) and other anatomy trivia.
