ANATOMY & FUNCTIONS OF THE FACE

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.

MOVEMENT OF THE HUMAN BODY

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.

IMMUNE RESPONSE, THE

Other than swelling at a cut, and maybe some pus or a slight fever, we would be forgiven for not being aware of the existence of the human immune system. It is however a highly complex system, and when it is overwhelmed, things can get a lot more serious. In this informative and engaging program the three levels of immune defence are explored in isolation and as part of a disparate yet interconnected system. High quality animations are used to illustrate the nature of specific and nonspecific defence mechanisms deployed by the human immune system. The role of human intervention in the defence against disease is also explored.

BODY IN MOTION, THE: AN INTRODUCTION

The human body is always on the move. Whether we are jumping, running or sitting still; blood is pumping, muscles are contracting, and joints are moving. The body's internal systems perform complex processes every second of every day, so we can spend our time doing whatever we need to. This Australian-made, curriculum fit program takes us inside the human body, showing us just how the musculoskeletal and cardio-respiratory systems work and how they influence and respond to movement. This information-packed program is presented in a clear and logical format, with vivid animations and real-life examples that will engage viewers from start to finish.

HUMAN BODY: THE DIGESTIVE AND RENAL SYSTEM

The human body needs to take in food and water found in the environment, and through an almost miraculous sequence of mechanical and chemical processes, it converts that food into nutrients that sustain all the body's activities. The digestive track alone has nine major organs devoted to this process and the renal track three. Join world-renowned surgeon Dr. Mark Reisman as he provides you with a unique look at the anatomy and physiology of the many organs and structures of digestion. Lastly, discover the properties of metabolism and nutrition.

THE IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM: RECOGNITION, ATTACK, AND MEMORY

Starts by looking at external barriers to microbial attack such as the skin and mucus membranes and non-specific internal defenses such as macrophages, natural killer cells, and the inflammatory response. The program then delves into the immune response including the recognition of invaders by antibodies and T-cell receptors, the destruction of invaders by antibodies and cytotoxic T-cells, and the immunity conferred by memory cells. A discussion of how vaccinations work and current AIDS research concludes the program.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: NEURONS, NETWORKS AND THE HUMAN BRAIN

Begins by examining the structure and function of neurons; resting, action and post-synaptic potentials; and reflexes and neural networks. The peripheral, somatic, autonomic, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are introduced before looking at the central nervous system. After describing spinal cord structure and function the program then examines the human brain including the medula, pons, and cerebellum of the hindbrain; the recticular formation of the midbrain; and the thalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex of the forebrain.

NEUROLOGIC SYSTEM - CRANIAL NERVES AND SENSORY SYSTEM

Describes the cranial nerves and sensory system, moving through the cranial nerves with tests for smell, eyesight, eyelid motion, pupil reaction, and extraocular movements. The corneal reflex motor function of the jaw are tested, as well as sensations for pain, temperature, and light touch. The face is inspected in various situations, and hearing acuity is tested. Dermatome mapping is explained and the entire sensory system is examined for pain, temperature, light touch and vibrations.

MUSCULAR TISSUE AND PHYSIOLOGY

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 chapter 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.
