Series designed to introduce viewers to the study of the human body. Through the analogy of gymnastic training, microphotography, graphics, animation, and simple experiments, this program examines the bones and muscles of the human body, showing how they work together to provide it with shape, protection and support and how they help it to move in a variety of ways. Looks at such topics as: the skeleton, the parts of the bone, the role of the skeletal system in blood production and mineral storage, the types of bones and muscles, and how joints work with the help of connective tissue like cartilage ligaments and tendons. Includes an experiment which shows what happens when minerals are removed from bones, an interview with a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, and a discussion of the contributions of German physicist, Wilhelm Roentegen to our understanding of the skeletal system. Other features include: Spanish and English language tracks ; discussion questions and activities ; an investigation data sheet ; chapter select ; and closed-captioning.
