  • The Bone Lab

    • Video
    A skeletal bone is being placed on a table.

    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.

  • A close up of a fish against a dark backdrop. Closely set fins and spots on face. Caption: Its skeleton is made of cartilage.

    This creature was found 4,200 feet deep in the ocean. It’s called a chimaera, and this fish has no bones in its body. Its skeleton is made of cartilage. The dots on its face are sensory organs that detect electrical fields in the water, which help the chimaera find its prey. Living in deep water, the chimaera is accustomed to lurking in the dark. Part of the "Creatures of the Deep" series.

  • Person speaking. An x-ray is displayed on a screen behind them and a human skeleton hangs next to them. Caption: it's vitally important

    Part of the "Gunther's ER" series. Beyond the immediate risks to a patient's life, doctors must also identify other bodily damage. Dr. Gunther von Hagens examines the kinds of injuries that can lead to permanent disability if not quickly addressed. Dissecting a female body donor who died after falling from a window, von Hagens locates fractures throughout her skeleton, explains how bones break, and bends a human spine to discover how much force it can withstand before snapping. Also investigates the causes and consequences of brain damage. Recreating head injury to the exposed brain of another cadaver, von Hagens illustrates how the rigid, closely fitting skull can actually damage the brain it is meant to protect. NOTE: Viewer discretion is advised. Contains clinically explicit language and nudity.

  • A group of people inspecting a skeleton.

    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.
