Students learn and explore the major features of the skin, skeletal, and muscular systems. Special attention is given to the care and maintenance of skin, skeletal, and muscular systems. Concepts and terminology include: integumentary system, layers of skin, sweat glands, bone, osteocytes, periosteum, marrow, cartilage, ossification, types of joints, ligaments, types of muscle tissue, and voluntary and involuntary muscle.

Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the functions of the human skeletal system. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Host Emily Graslie meets with Dr. Ryan Felice to discuss the 3-D surface scanner, which he uses to create digital representations of skeletal anatomy. He visits various museums and scans their collections hoping to help preserve research findings. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
In this behind-the-scenes glimpse into cataloging at The Field Museum, host Emily Graslie learns how to number small skeletal samples in the mammal collection. She also visits the seal fossil collection and examines the differences between the teeth of various species. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
In this video, Pinky and Petunia discuss the 11 major organ systems in the human body. These include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovasular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive system. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Athletes demonstrate their flexibility in this look at our ingeniously designed muscular-skeletal system. Discusses muscle and bone interaction, their structure, purpose, and function. Comments on technological studies on motion.
Explores the major characteristics of the skeletal and muscular systems. Discusses the number of bones in the human body, describes their different shapes and sizes, and illustrates how bones need muscles to move. Talks about different kinds of joints, and gives examples of how we use joints everyday.
Forensic anthropologists analyze human remains. Their findings aid in the detection of crime by working to assess the age, sex, stature, ancestry and unique features of a skeleton, which may include documenting trauma to the skeleton and its postmortem interval. Please note: Preview of this title is highly encouraged due to the sensitive material that is covered.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on vertebrate.
Investigates the major body systems that are important during physical activity: the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Examines each of these systems, their parts, their functions, and how they work. Also, explores the contribution and interaction of the systems when we exercise and while we are rest.
Forensic osteological research facilities are outdoor compounds where donated human bodies are studied during decomposition. Using archeological field techniques, researchers discover what happens to human remains when exposed to a number of different environmental conditions. Studying these skeletal remains in different contexts proves extremely beneficial in solving real-life humanitarian and criminal cases. Please note: Preview of this title is highly encourage due the sensitive material covered.
Host Emily Graslie interviews Peter Makovicky, Associate Curator of Paleontology, about a new species of dinosaur he discovered: the Siats meekerorum. Based on the skeletal remains, evidence points to this being a newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
In this behind-the-scenes glimpse into the skeletal collections at The Field Museum, host Emily Graslie examines various elephant skeletons. Bill Stanley, Director of the Gantz Family Collections Center, describes the differences in skull structure between the species. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
From end to end, its forelimbs alone measured an incredible 2.4 meters long and were tipped with big, comma-shaped claws. But other than its bizarre arms, very little material from this dinosaur had been found: no skull, no feet. Scientists were unable to create a full picture of this dinosaur until they began exploring quarries in 2006 and 2009. Part of the "Eons" series.
Explains why the body needs regular supplies of air and how these get to the body. The camera follows the process of breathing through the ultra-thin membrane of the lung into the blood, showing how the varying demand for oxygen is met by the exchange of information between the brain and the chest muscles and how the body rids itself of carbon dioxide.
In this behind-the-scenes glimpse into the platypus collection at The Field Museum, host Emily Graslie examines various skeletons. Bill Stanley, Director of the Gantz Family Collections Center, describes the various anatomical structures of the platypus. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Access to safe drinking water is a global problem for nearly a billion people. For approximately 200 million people, many in Africa, high levels of naturally occurring fluoride in the water cause disfiguring and debilitating dental and skeletal disease. University of Oklahoma environmental scientist Laura Brunson is back from Ethiopia where, with support from the National Science Foundation, she’s developing fluoride filtering devices that use inexpensive materials readily available right there in the villages.
At the twilight of an active life, Anna is now bedridden due to a serious fall. What makes the elderly--even those who are in full possession of their mental and physical faculties--more prone to falling than younger people? As this program demonstrates, the answer lies not in the body or the brain alone, but in their interconnection. Exploring Anna's past dreams of becoming a ballerina, the film shows how complex physical motion, such as dancing or even typing, requires sophisticated coordination between the body's neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. How aging affects such coordination and how new artificial limb technology enables movement are running themes in the program.
