With this VHS by Discovery Channel, explore the mechanisms that power the body to gurgle, burp, gasp, and giggle. Human body systems work in harmony to connect us with the outer world, while keeping our inner one attuned to the rhythmic beat of life. This video is segmented into the Nervous, Digestive, Respiratory, and Musculoskeletal Systems.
Nervous System: How do humans learn, reason, and interact with the world? In a few words: the nervous system. The brain and spinal cord are at the helm of this complex communications system that carries billiosn of messages from cells to brain within seconds.
Digestive System: Here's a breakfast of champions: Join us as we follow your Sugar Crunch cereal down the gullet and come splashing into the churning power factory of your stomach. We'll be right there as you delicately chew, swallow, and churn your food into energy. Pull up a comfy chair! We've got at least 24 feet of intestines to investigate.
Respiratory System: There's something miraculous behind that pint of air you've just inhaled: A remarkable system of organs draws oxygen into the body to feed trillions of cells and expel carbon dioxide waste.
Musculoskeletal System: It is both armor and graceful architecture: The human skeleton protects the brain and internal organs, while providing the framwork for muscles to plie and power lift. Together with muscles and tendons, it gives us strength, agility and a shape that is distinctly human.
Teacher's Guide included.
