THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM - An overview of the three main parts of the circulatory system - the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Describes the structures and functioning of the heart, including the conduction system. Discusses the three types of blood vessels and their role in circulation. Examines the blood components and the lymphatic system. Anatomy and physiology are illustrated with up-to-date graphics and animation. 16 minutes
THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM - Discusses various aspects of the endocrine system including hormones, the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, the pineal gland, the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, the thymus gland, the adrenal glands, and the pancreas. The information is presented beautifully through art and animation. 27 minutes
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - First provides a description of the digestive system, then using exceptional still art and animation, reviews the anatomy and physiology of the alimentary canal. Describes how food is converted into substances that can be used by the body for energy and tissue building. An outstanding tool to complement written materials and lectures used when teaching the process of digestion. 16 minutes
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM - Begins by describing neurons and neuroglia and their role in the transmission of nerve impulses. Goes on to explain the central nervous system, focusing on the structures in the brain, the cranial nerves, and the spinal cord. Concludes by comparing and contrasting the autonomic and somatic portions of the peripheral nervous system. 16 minutes
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM - Describes the anatomy and physiology of the upper and lower airways as well as the lungs. In addition, discusses gas exchange and the process of inhalation / exhalation. 17 minutes
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM - Provides a thorough description of the skeletal system including a discussion of the axial and appendicular skeletons as well as articulations. 17 minutes
THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM - Describes the muscular system by comparing and contrasting skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. Also discusses the anatomy and physiology associated with muscle contraction. 17 minutes
THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM - A colorful description of both the male and female reproductive systems as well as the anatomy and physiology of each including information on fertilization, pregnancy, labor, and lactation. 17 minutes
THE URINARY SYSTEM - Describes the urinary system and discusses the role of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra as well as the process of micturation. 18 minutes
THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM - Provides a creative description of the Integumentary system and discusses each layer of the skin, its anatomy and physiology, as well as accessory structures such as hair, glands, and nails. 18 minutes
