Anatomy of sex by Anatomical Travelogue As one young couple settles down to start a family, learn how biological and evolutionary forces conspire to keep the human race running. Our bodies work in specific, subtle ways for one reason only: making more humans. Travel inside the body to see what happens to both men and women when attraction occurs and when orgasm finally ensures the possibility of replicating ourselves. Learn why humans are one of only 3% of all mammal species that require both a male and a female for care giving. And discover the evolutionary significance behind the fact that humans mate front to front when all other species prefer front to back.

The mysterious human heart by Thomas Jennings Each of the three programs that make up "The mysterious human heart focuses on a different aspect of what we thought we knew, what we know now, and what we're on the verge of learning about the heart. This material is presented through the real-life dramas of people who suddenly learn that a normal, functioning heart is not something that can be taken for granted. In Episode 1. we examine the heart as a muscle - pumping more than 100,000 times a day, pushing approximately five quarts of blood on an endless path delivering oxygen to every cell in the human body. This hour tells the story of the normal heart thought the histories of three people with end-stage heart failure, where a pump may be a temporary remedy, but in the long term, a transplant is often a necessity. In Episode 2, a look at the physiological electrical mechanism that keep a heart beating regularly and efficiently and what happens when this most essential rhythm of life goes awry. In episode 3, the focus is on atherosclerosis, the silent blockage of the coronary arteries, which can trigger devastating and sometimes fatal heart attacks.

Anatomy of the Shoulder A ball-and-socket joint capable of a complex range of motion, the shoulder achieves its mobility through the sacrifice of stability, relying on surrounding muscles and tendons for strength. This program presents the technical specifications of the shoulder: what muscles sheathe it, how it functions, and its range of motion. Conditions such as bursitis, tendonitis, dislocation, and fracture of the clavicle are also discussed. (18 minutes)
Beauty of Anatomy: Part 1 In this series, Adam Rutherford looks at the work of second century anatomist of the Roman Empire, Claudius Galen. Galen used first hand experience to describe his anatomical observations in writing so detailed that later Persian translations included illustrations. After the fall of Constantiople, classical works influenced Renaissance thinkers and artists like Leonardo da Vinci, who also performed dissections to discover how the human body works. Following Galen's evidence based investigation, Andreas Vesalius performed public dissections in Padua, noting in detailed illustrations and descriptions the human skeleton, muscles, nerves, organ and brain. His illustrations were classically posed before a landscape, showing a body in motion. Vesalius is known as the Founder of Modern Anatomy because of his "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" (The Fabric of the Human Body), that is as artful as it is accurate. A BBC Production.
Beauty of Anatomy: Part 2 In Part 2, we explore the relationship of art and anatomical illustration while referring to the artist Rembrandt, the brothers William and John Hunter and Henry Gray, of the well-known Gray's Anatomy. As anatomists used dissections to discover the truth about the human body, illustrators worked with them to create anatomically accurate drawings to be used as a teaching tool for medical students and surgeons. Anatomical art also found its way into galleries visited by art patrons in Rembrandt's Amsterdam. We follow the demand for first hand experience from Galen and Vesalius as anatomists leave behind the classical ideal and seek more accurate depictions of what they saw.

Fascia: Secrets Under the Skin This documentary on fascia sheds light on state-of-the-art international research. Fascinating images let us delve into the virtually unknown cosmos of our bodies. A "fascia" is a sheet of connective tissue under the skin surrounding muscles, bones or joints. Nowadays, these white fibres are considered the leading cause for diseases and pain and a wondrous source of healing. Elaborate animations and computer graphics shed light on the connection between the fascia and one of our most widespread ailments: back pain. Internationally renowned scientists answer long-unanswered questions while offering insights into cutting-edge fascia research.

Heat and the Human Body In this episode, we look at the brilliant systems within our bodies that allow us to maintain a more-or-less constant body temperature regardless of the weather conditions. Sweating, shivering, pumping more blood to some parts of our bodies than to other parts, curling up into a ball, and spreading out your arms and legs all play their part at keeping our bodies at the right temperature! But what happens when we reach our limits?

Time of Your Life: What Makes Us Tick? The body clock: a ticking time-piece that lives in our brain and controls the daily rhythms of our body in time with the outside world. On this enlightening and entertaining journey Sir Terry Wogan reveals why timing is everything, and why it’s crucial to understand our body clock. Terry discovers there is a right time to eat, sleep, and exercise. There’s a wrong time to learn, have sex, and go to the dentist. He discovers how our clocks dictate when we drive safely, work best, give birth, and die. And he finds out why some of us are early birds while others are night owls, and why throughout our lives our body clocks constantly readjust. Terry reveals tips and tricks that will help us all master our clocks enabling us to get the most out of our lives. A BBC Production.
YouTube: Genome TV From the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) comes Genome TV, a series of videos that may appeal to instructors and researchers in the fields of health and science, as well as members of the general public interested in learning more about genetic research and its social implications. Visitors can browse for these videos by a variety of playlists, including How To Sequence a Genome (a series of helpful educational videos); NHGRI's Oral History Collection (a series of interviews, approximately 80 minutes in length, with key genetic researchers from the past and present); and a series of lectures addressing genetics and health disparities that were part of a 2015 lecture series. Other playlists feature presentations that were part of previous NHGRI conferences, while another playlist features a series of three-dimensional diagrams of the human cell. The NHGRI continually updates this collection with new material, so stay tuned.
