Systems of the Human Body - Muscles and Bones

Synopsis: 3D animation and live action video illustrating the human body’s muscular-skeletal system and looking at how our 206 bones and 70,000 muscles work together with our ligaments, tendons and joints. This programme shows how the internal endoskeleton not only provides a framework for our body but also protects vital internal organs from injury, and explains how bones are living tissues that constantly grow and repair themselves. The functions of ligaments, tendons, cartilage and joints and potential injuries and arthritis are also explored, as well as a detailed explanation of how muscles operate - skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles - and how they are maintained. Accompanying notes and photocopiable sheets on the DVD.
