THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
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. Also takes viewers on a tour of the most wondrous part of the skeleton, the skull and the amazing human hand one of the most versatile structures among all species and, our feet, ankles and knees are also constructed to perform multiple tasks and endure incredible stress over the course of a lifetime.

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 program examines the incredible "machine," from simple cells, to DNA, the body's building blocks of life, to the major systems and organs. Using animation combined with live-action footage and commentary from medical specialists, this program illustrates how the major systems and organs function. Viewers learn how the reproductive system generates new life and how the stomach, intestines and other organs of the digestive system convert solid matter into the fuel of life. We also discover how the lungs and respiratory system take in oxygen that sustains life, and how the heart and circulatory system connect all body systems, providing a delivery system for the oxygen. In addition, the program explores the lymphatic, immune and other supporting systems. Finally, viewers explore the structure and functions of our skin, the body's largest organ, which protects us from the outside environment.
