Just the Facts: The Human Body

The Musculoskeletal System — This first part of The Human Body series examines the structure of our skeleton and the function of our muscles. Viewers learn how our bones provide the rigid support necessary to hold any position, while our joints give us the remarkable range of motion needed to run, dance, climb, or simply to walk, sit and bend. In addition, we discover how our muscles and associated tendons and ligaments are constructed to allow them to change shape functions, as well as how bone growth occurs. This video also takes viewers on a tour of the most wondrous part of the skeleton, the skull, seemingly a solid bone with teeth, but actually far more than that.

The Nervous System — offers fascinating insight into how our brain sets us apart from all other vertebrates. It gives us the ability to speak, reason, remember and engage in complex thought, as well as the capacity to feel compassion, sadness, anger, joy and love.

Major Systems and Organs — The human body is a wondrously complex machine made of flesh, bone, muscles, organs, blood vessels and highly specialized systems that function together to sustain life. This fascinating third part of The Human Body series examines the incredible “machine,” from simple cells, to DNA, the body’s building blocks of life, to the major systems and organs.
