The heart is a pump, moving blood throughout the body via arteries and veins. Uses graphics to clarify the circulatory system and its functions. Notes the effects of exercise, nutrition, smoking, and infections on this system, and briefly illustrates coagulation, nosebleeds, and vaccinations.
Physical activity and quality sleep are both vital for healthy bodies, as well as healthy brains. Viewers learn the relationship between activity, boredom, and sleep and how each plays a role in healthy development of children. Part of "The Brain" series.
This segment tackles migraine headaches and how they can interfere with daily life. Experts also discuss the triggers associated with migraines such as caffeine, dehydration, and stress. Part of the "Teen Kids News" series.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie meets with Dr. Robert Martin to discuss the evolution of human birth. They also highlight the progress being made to reduce mortality rates related to giving birth. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Dr. Michelle Thaller explains the relationship between visible light and the principle of black-body radiation. These two aspects along with the anatomy of the human eye explain why stars don't appear green in the night sky. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
What are the differences between fish and shellfish? The scientists will explain their differences. The scientists also explore the rate that nails grow. Is it the same for everyone? Part of the House of Science Series.
After explaining the differences between butterflies and moths, examines the complete metamorphosis of the zebra longwing butterfly. Looks at a butterfly's anatomy; purpose of specific body parts; and how they have adapted for camouflage, gathering food, reproduction, and pollination. Explains the butterfly's unique place in the survival of all species.
The endocrine system maintains the body's delicate chemical balance. Describes the location, function, and effects of the major endocrine glands, and notes their close relationship to the nervous system. Some discussion of diabetes and hormonal imbalances.
Introduces the social and health aspects of good personal hygiene. Demonstrates the correct way to wash hands and bathe, as well as how to take care of hair and nails. Discusses the importance of wearing sunscreen, protecting skin from bumps, bites and itches, and keeping hair and nails clean and groomed.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Describes the discovery of viruses and their structure, how viruses are studied, how they infect their hosts, and how they replicate. Provides details on the T-4 bacteriophage and retroviruses, such as HIV.
Wildlife expert Casey Anderson takes on the task of tracking and filming one of North America’s most elusive predators, the mountain lion. He and his hounds set out to track a mountain lion hoping to study its anatomy and leaping ability. Part of the "Expedition Wild" series.

Interviews with professionals and patients provide information on polluted air inside and outside, how it is caused, and what can be done about it. They also relate effects of breathing in polluted air, including asthma, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their treatments.
Diagram of the internal view of the female reproductive system. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern investigates the biomechanics of butts. What activates one's butt muscles more, running or squatting? How effective are bridges as a workout? How much can individuals change the shape of their bodies with exercise? Dianna and Dr. Rowley conduct various experiments to answer these questions about anatomy and physiology. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie learns the proper techniques for pinning an insect. Gracen Brilmyer, a research assistant at the museum, provides Graslie with step-by-step instructions from collecting the best specimen to showcasing anatomical structures. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Explores how eyes work and how eyes help us understand the world. Explains how safe behaviors and healthy habits can prevent illness and injury to eyes. Discusses what to expect from an eye examination and other eye tests. Talks about how visually impaired children walk with a white cane and read Braille.
Part of the "The Biology Classics" series. Daphnia are small, planktonic crustaceans. Provides a classic study in arthropod behavior and anatomy. Examines the eye, brain, jaws, intestine, legs (with gills), and heart. Identifies two kinds of eggs: those that hatch directly into female daphnia and resistant eggs that carry the species through periods of freezing and drying.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses the anatomy of various mammals and how they move. Tetrapods generally use three different types of locomotion. Graslie highlights three groups of animals and the science behind their movements: plantigrade animals, digitigrade animals, and unguligrade animals. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
