Like cells muscles bones how it all works. Like a simple breakdown of everything in one book. Haha I know that is unreachable so maybe a few different ones. But I am thinking about maybe going into a medical profession and would like to understand the human body in alot more detail then I do now. So I will be prepared to start college. And I can have a little more confidence in being able to achieve my dream. I would also like to know how things like cancer are started I know the whole tumor aspect of it. But how exactly they are created is what I’m interested in. And basically about all the different cells and organisms that pass through and control our body.

If you would also like some notions about Human evolution, I'd recommend "The Human Career" by Richard Klein. Knowledge of Evolution is not needed to study medicine, but it will allow you to understand things better. Besides, it's fascinating.
Regarding anatomy, "Grey's Anatomy" will probably be inevitable in the US, i guess.

A pretty good one is William F. Ganong's book:
Review of Medical Physiology
You need to already know some biology, but it is simple enough for undergraduate courses.
