SUMMARY
This program reveals the incredible stories behind 10 of the world's most
popular inventions. Through interviews, historical photos and 3D graphics,
learn about the inventors, how events transpired, and how each discovery
changed our everyday lives.
Shows how the human body responds when the whole body is attacked by
bacteria or viruses. Explores the role of the spleen, the lymphatic system, white
blood cells, and antibodies. Uses the common cold as an example of the
response of the body to a viral attack.
The widespread nature of muscle tissue in the body is introduced as this
program looks at the complex movements involved in the exercise of rowing.
The nature of the muscle itself is examined, from its gross structure to its
detailed microstructure, where chemical energy is harnessed to produce
movement.
Explores the architecture of the human body. Examines the bones of the
skeleton, muscles, individual muscle cells, and the cardiac muscle. Includes
animation.
A half-century ago, three teams with three different approaches raced to unravel
the structure of DNA. This program blends extensive interviews and firsthand
narration with extraordinary graphics to tell the compelling story of how the
perhaps unlikely duo of Jim Watson and Francis Crick won that race. Many of
the principal figures in the quest discuss their frustrations and insights,
including Nobel Laureates Watson and Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus
Pauling's son, Peter.
Explains how the excretory system removes wastes in the human body.
Explains how electrical signals travel along nerves to striated, smooth and
cardiac muscles, how muscle fibers respond by contracting and how the
contractions pump blood through arteries, push food through the digestive
system, and move the bones.
Uses animation and micrography of actual nerve cells to help the viewer
visualize how the nervous system controls and integrates all body activites.
In this thought-provoking episode some very tricky optical illusions show that
the brain doesn't always correctly interpret what it sees. Check out Bill Nye
from a whole new angle when he gets an M. R. I. of his brain.
Explains the function of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and
the production systems of human body.
Explains the function of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and
the production systems of human body.
This program provides a thorough introduction to the structure and functions of
the digestive tract.
Explores the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, and reveals how
the brain and its extension, the spinal cord, receive sensory information, and
how the brain sends reaction impulses out to the body's organs, muscles, and
glands.
Investigates how the body controls its internal environment.
Explores the human body through individual case studies, highlighting cuttingedge medical technology and life-and-death personal dramas.
In this 32-lecture video course, Dr. Anthony Goodman puts a solid
understanding of human anatomy and physiology easily. You'll learn to see the
structure and functioning of our bodies as an awesome, integrated unity, a
perspective that reveals the logic and symmetry of the human organism with
compelling clarity.
Shows experiments which measure increases in heart rate, systolic pressure,
respiratory rate, and tidal volume at different levels of exercise. Changes in
heart and lung activity demonstrate how the exerciser copes with increasing
levels of exercise.
Examines the circulatory system including the heart, blood, and vessels. Looks
at the respiratory system and its close relationship with the circulatory system,
and shows how the lungs operate. Includes animation.
Explains the functions of the major body systems.
Considerable detail is shown with the structure and function of the heart.
Describes how the body's circulatory system works and its importance to the
human body.

From the moment of conception, every human embryo embarks on an incredible
nine-month journey of development. Now, cutting-edge technology makes it
possible for National Geographic Channel's "In the womb" to open a window
into the hidden world of the fetus and explore each trimester in amazing new
detail. Revolutionary 3-D and 4-D imagery sheds light on the delicate, dark
world of a fetus as never before and follows a rare fetoscope operation,
performed in utero with the hope of correcting life-threatening complications
before birth.
A documentary which shows the actual conception and development of a baby.
Looks inside the male and female reproductive organs to show the formation of

The human body is more complex and unique and ergonomically efficient than
our best mechanical inventions. This video explores the mysteries of motion
from our brain to muscle fibers to the microscopic protein filaments that make
movement possible.
Program presented by Dr. David Michaely at Boston Children's Hospital
introducting topics such as: movement and the human skeleton, structure and
function of joints, bone growth, positive and negative effects of exercise, and
degenerative diseases.

rethinking how much faith they are willing to put in everything from memory to
multitasking. Host Jason Silva and Deception Specialist Apollo Robbins are
teaming up with some of the world's foremost neuroscientists to reveal the
incredible inner-workings of the brain.
In this program, Dr. Greenfield seeks to understand the human body's most
remarkable phenomenon-and explains why the existence of each mind's private
world of experiences and feelings is actually more incredible than the fact that
life on Earth evolved at all. The case of Graham Young, who lost his right-side
vision in both eyes and yet is still able to process that visual information, adds
support to her thesis.
An educational discussion of vision, one of the 5 senses.

Explores the complex structures and processes of the human brain using
photographic sequences, pictures of extremely thin sections of brain tissue,
and computer simulation.
This series explores the startling new map of the brain that has emerged from
the past decade of neuroscience and shares a revelatory view of this most
complicated organ, which now contradicts much of what we previously
believed. Narrated by actress Blair Brown, the series tells stories through a mix
of personal histories, expert commentary and cutting-edge animation. Viewers

Typhoid Mary [videorecording (DVD)] : the most

DVD
In over 1,300 counties across America, elected coroners, many with no medical
or scientific background, are in charge of death investigations. Nationwide
there is a severe shortage of competent forensic pathologists to do autopsies.
The rate of autopsies -- the gold standard of death investigation--has
plummeted over decades. As a result, not only do murders go free and innocent
people go to jail, but the crisis in death investigation in America is also a threat
to public health.
Diseases that were largely eradicated in the U.S. a generation ago - including
whooping cough, measles, mumps - are returning, in part because nervous
parents are skipping their children's shots. This takes viewers around the world
to track epidemics, explore the science behind vaccinations, and shed light on
the risks of opting out. The vast majority of Americans - more than 90% vaccinate their children. Yet many people have questions about the safety of
vaccines.
In 1906 in America it was first discovered that humans could transmit typhoid
fever. This is a dramatization of the outbreak and a profile of Irish cook Mary
Mallon, known as 'Typhoid Mary'. Quarantined against her will, the story reveals
the newfound power of health officials to protect the masses, often at the
expense of personal liberties.

America's Constitution guarantees citizens the right to own firearms for selfdefense. But has the onslaught of school violence, homicides, and accidental
killings made this right a deadly liability in today's society? This program
examines both sides of that provocative question. Topics include women who
arm themselves against violence; school kids who take their parents' weapons;
child fatalities caused by parents who are too quick to fire; the legal liabilities
faced by gun owners who shoot in self-defense; and bystander deaths from
crossfire and stray bullets.
Nova reveals the amazing technologies that make drones so powerful. From
cameras that can capture every detail of an entire city at a glance, to swarming
robots that can make decisions on their own, to giant air frames that can stay
aloft for days on end, drones are changing our relationship to war, surveillance
and each other. Discover the cutting-edge technologies that are propelling us
toward a new chapter in aviation history.
