Product Description

National Geographic provides a whole new perspective on the extraordinary processes involved in human life with this primarily internal look at the human life cycle from conception through old age. Thanks to amazing technological advances like camera pills and high-definition endoscopes, physicians and scientists can now obtain actual camera footage and images of body processes as well as create elaborate computer simulations to aid in the research and understanding of how the human body works. This 95-minute exploration of the human body and its processes follows human life from fetal development through the amazing changes demanded of virtually every organ in the hours after birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. It explores the senses and how they work, brain development, digestion, blood circulation, cell division, the hardening and replenishing of bone, puberty, sexuality, childbirth, changes inherent in the aging process, the virtual shutting down of the body at death, and much more. The fascinating camera footage includes everything from the digestive process of food from the mouth through the esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, and then to excretion; to blood flow through the heart, veins, and capillaries; and the accumulation of fat in the abdomen and intestines. While the squeamish might proclaim the graphic footage gross, it is incredible, fascinating, and educational. Significant time is also devoted to detailing life choices like exercise, drinking, smoking, listening to loud music, and stress and how those choices can directly affect our bodily functions and overall health. This 2002 presentation is an informative, graphic look at the amazing human body and how it works. --Tami

Perfect to tie into the classroom! October 17, 2009
Medical Coding Teacher (Hudson, MA USA)
I took the chance on purchasing this because it was so inexpensive that I thought it wouldn't be too bad if it weren't very good. But it turned out to be sucha perfect addition to my classroom. I used this at the beginning of my A&P class that I teach to adult learners. It tied everything together. It was wonderful.
Really good educational film September 3, 2009
Serg (US)
I'd recommend it everyone who does not looking for hard studies but want to know how our body works. This disk mostly like introduction in human biology. It consists good narrations and accompanying music a lot of animations and real video made with help of micro cameras inside living body. Video covers processes of developing, living and aging from birth to the very final moment. It is not anatomy course and does not cover names of bones, muscles, whole structure of brain, central and peripheral nerve systems and so on. And because of that it is easier for perception. It has enough information from DNA to external structure of body to get understanding of how our body live but not get borin National Geographic - Inside the Living Bodyg of complicity. I really enjoyed this movie.
Very easy to watch and understand May 31, 2009

I watched this on NatGeo two years ago and was excited to see it for sale - my dvr somehow had erased it! This is so informative and interesting that my 5 and 4 year olds were sitting and watching it with me. I look forward to showing parts of it in my HS level Biology class that I teach. Really amazing footage, CGI, of the processes occurring in the body. Truly an amazing machine.
