The immature respiratory system is very different from that of an adult. Respiratory pathologies are one of the major problems affecting the health and well being of children. These issues can be due to infection, allergy, trauma, or congenital anomalies. Whatever the cause, if distress is not promptly identified and treated, respiratory failure and even cardiopulmonary arrest can follow.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Describe the differences between an immature respiratory system and an adult's
Identify normal pediatric breath sounds
Identify adventitious pediatric breath sounds and their possible causes
Eyes are one of the most overworked organs. We depend on our eyesight daily and often dont realize how much until something goes wrong. Vision impairments can be the result of heredity or trauma to the eye. Routine eye exams can detect and help prevent further loss of vision. The most common of vision impairments can easily be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses and now surgery. Through research, scientists are discovering new ways to improve and restore vision.
In the next hundred years, medicine will change dramatically because of advances in technology and science. The new millennium is expected to bring in an age of less suffering, better health and longer life. Some scientists are predicting cures for cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Advances in engineering, chemistry and physics could change the way illnesses are diagnosed, treated and prevented. This program examines what lies ahead for medicine and health in the new millennium.
There are over 42 million people worldwide who suffer from total or partial loss of vision and are defined as being blind. This program explains how the human eye works, examines some of the major causes of blindness and shows how medical science and technology are helping people with impaired vision lead satisfying and productive lives. New surgical procedures and advanced image processing technologies are also presented in this program.
This program looks at how our bodies acquire and process energy for everyday life. Explore two different physiological systems that work together in order to keep our bodies running efficiently. Students will learn how our respiratory system processes oxygen and how oxygen is used within our bodies. Well also learn about the circulatory system and how it transports oxygen throughout our bodies.
Plasma and red blood cells transport essential nutrients through the circulatory system, while different types of blood cells fight off bacteria and viruses to help keep us healthy. This program explores the composition of blood and looks at the heart and circulatory system. It features animated graphics that demonstrate the pumping of the heart, how red blood cells carry oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide and how white blood cells protect the body.
The face is our window to the world. Organs of the mouth take in food, start the digestive process and protect us from various hazards. The face is also used to communicate through expressions and other non-verbal signals that give people information about us. This program describes the anatomy and functions of different aspects of the face and mouth and what scientists have learned about universal beliefs related to facial symmetry.
No organism lives forever. The length of time animals and humans live is influenced by their genes. Scientists have made astonishing discoveries concerning the role of genetics in determining life span and this holds promise of extending the lives of animals and humans. This program explains Genetics, DNA and genetic theories of aging. It illustrates the genetic processes behind cellular aging and shows how genes affect life span. Discover the reasons why cells age and why a certain enzyme can effectively turn back the hands of our "biological clock."
The relationship between our skeletal and muscular systems allows our body to stand and move. This program looks at the human body in motion. It explains the composition of our muscles and bones and it illustrates how they interact to create movement. Discover how researchers use this knowledge to improve athletic performance and to develop new and improved technologies by adapting elements of the bodys mechanics.
The skin is the largest human organ. Take a close look at the epidermis, which provides the first line of defense against the outside world and delves into the mysteries of the dermis - the inner skin. Discover how the body fights off infections and the damaging effects of the sun.
We can remember the smell of an apple or a math formula. All these memories are stored in the three-pound organ inside our skull called the brain. This program looks at how memories are made - how we remember things and how the human brain makes sense of all the information constantly flowing into it and stored in it. Scientists believe that memories are broken up and stored in complex networks of brain cells and put back together when they are recalled. Discover how learning is linked to memory and how the sense of smell may enhance learning.
The human brain is often compared to a computer. Both receive input, process information and produce output. However the three-pound organ inside your head is far more complex, powerful and capable than even the most advanced computer. This program makes the comparison to show students what is known - and what researchers have yet to discover - about how our brains process and store information. Students will learn how the brain uses chemical messengers to control the body and some ways scientists are learning more about our amazing brains!
The extraordinary complexity and power of the human brain gives each of us the capability to do things other creatures cannot, such as read and write. This program introduces brain physiology and function and explains what makes the human brain so exceptional. It shows how brains have advanced in complexity from the arrangement of a few nerve cells in the earliest and simplest creatures to the complexity of the mammalian brain.
This program includes epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk behaviors, opportunistic diseases and diagnostic tests. Transmission, prevention and current treatment modalities are reviewed. Complies with OSHA standards.
Familiarity with normal and abnormal heart sounds provides the foundation for many clinical assessments. This program focuses on cardiac auscultation, or listening to the sounds produced by the heart, a skill that can be lost without review and practice. It will review the anatomy and physiology of the heart and the sounds it produces as it works.
Beneath our skin, numerous systems are enacting complex processes, each as important as the other. Through detailed diagrams and animations, discover the hidden wonders of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, repertory and nervous system. We explain how these essential system work in conjunction with each other to create these amazing machines we call the human body. Throughout this program we examine each of these systems, their parts, their functions and how they work. We also explore the contribution and interaction of these vital systems when we exercise and while we rest.
Please contact us for primary and secondary schools pricing.
This program provides a basic introduction to the components of the endocrine system appropriate for high-school students, junior college and vocational schools. This includes descriptions of:

Bone-up on your anatomy knowledge! The program will take you on a fun-filled tour of the bones of the human body, from the skull to the metatarsals and everything in between. By the time you're done, you'll know a lot more about your insides, without even having to take an x-ray!
Whether you're a 98-pound weakling or a muscle-bound Hercules, you're going to want to watch this program. The DVD explores the many muscles of the human body, from the biggest to the smallest. They'll also exercise your intellect as you learn about all the joints that help your body bend, grasp, tilt, twist, and turn.
Get ready. Get set. Get nervous! The program take you on a fun-filled tour of the human nervous system. They'll check out the central and peripheral nervous systems and all the tissues that keep them connected. You'll also learn about the brain, spinal cord, and much, much more. Let the program teach you about your nerves without getting on your nerves.
Do you think circulation is just something that happens to magazines? Take a tour of the cardiovascular system, including the veins, arteries and the heart. Like a red blood cell rocketing through the aorta, you'll zoom through the next half hour as the program teach you everything you've ever wanted to know about the cardiovascular system.
Do you long to better understand your lungs? You'll learn all about the amazing lymphatic and respiratory systems. First we'll cover the lymphatic system and all of its wonders. Then we'll tackle the respiratory system, where you'll see how our bodies obtain oxygen from the air and distribute it throughout our bodies.
Accurately assessing the pulmonary system takes skill, time and practice. As an RN or LPN you have the responsibility for assessing topics from the initial interview, basic anatomy and physiology, lung sounds of common respiratory diseases and therapeutic modalities.
This program explores the brain and nervous system, using the analogy of computers and the Internet. Topics discussed include electrical impulses and how nerve messages travel; parts of the brain and their functions; how the brain and spinal cord are protected; the senses; and diseases, drugs, and their effects on the brain and nervous system.

This DVD deals with the Heart as the pump of blood. The heart is the vital organ of life and problems with its function can be fatal with minutes. This DVD covers the presentation that identifies the major organ's anatomy and physiology such cardiac output, conduction systems, ECG, stroke volumes and factors that control them.
This DVD is about growth, which is an increase in size, and development, a process by which an individual changes from one life phase to another. This DVD explains the major events of prenatal life: the period of cleavage, the origin of primary germ layers, the formation and function of the placenta, and the events of the fetal stage. The physiological shifts necessary for a newborn while adjusting to postnatal life are discussed.
The skeletal system can be thought of as the passive partner in producing movement; the muscular system can be thought of as the active partner. This DVD explains how muscles interact with bones to maintain posture and produce movement. In addition, it tells the characteristics and functions of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. This knowledge is a foundation for the study of other organ systems, such as the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the cardiovascular system.
The respiratory system permits the exchange of oxygen needed for cellular metabolism for carbon dioxide, which is a by-product of cellular metabolism. This DVD describes the location and function of the organs of the respiratory system and explains how they contribute to the overall function of the system. Respiratory and nonrespiratory air movements, respiratory volumes and capacities, and how normal breathing is controlled are discussed. Gas exchange and transport, and oxygen utilization by the cell are discussed.
Listen up! Your eyes and ears are some extremely cool and useful structures. The DVD starts with a quick review of the nervous system. Then it's on to the ears and eyes: what they look like on the inside and how they work. You'll even learn about some common disorders that affect these delicate structures.
The DVD explores two of the most exciting systems in the human body-the digestive and urinary systems. Have you ever wondered what happens to food after you swallow it? Do you want to know where urine comes from? If the answer is yesˇKand we think it is, then this show is for you!
Following a quick review of the urinary system, it's a learning adventure through the endocrine system, where you'll jump on the gland wagon and get the scoop on hormones. Then, you'll learn about male and female reproductive organs and the structures that support them.
The characteristics of a tissue remain the same regardless of where it occurs in the body. Knowledge of these characteristics is basic to understanding how a specific tissue contributes to the function of an organ.
