Science: Biology
New! Things You Need to Know: The Human Body Our bodies—they may be the most impressive machines in existence. In this program, British TV presenter and Top Gear star James May pursues questions about the design and mechanics of human physiology, from “How did I get my granny’s chin?” to “Why do I catch colds?” to “Why am I hung over?” to “What will humans look like a thousand years from now?” Contains occasional mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised. (45 minutes) © 2011 Preview Clip Online C ‡ $169.95 QGR48254 • DVD / VOD
Anatomy: Functional Body Systems Beneath our skin, numerous complex and beautiful systems sustain life. It can be easy to take those processes for granted, though, because so many of them occur without any conscious effort. Over the course of this program, viewers will discover the hidden wonders of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovas- cular, respiratory, and nervous systems and how they all work in conjunction with each other to create the amazing machine we call the human body. Very visual. (27 minutes) © 2009 Preview Clip Online C ‡ o $129.95 QGR41101 • DVD / VOD
The Human Body Video Clip Collection As amazing as it is complex, the human body is a marvel of biological machinery! This collection of 52 video clips (30 seconds to 2 minutes, 30 seconds each) combines high-quality film footage and detailed animations to take a close-up look at the body’s building blocks, the architecture of the body, the nervous system, the five senses, blood circula- tion, respiration and nutrition, and reproduction.

The Incredible Human Machine This program—a complete update of the classic documentary by the same name, which in 1975 was nominated for an Academy Award—covers topics ranging from the function of major bodily systems, to the interplay between brain and body, to the operation of the senses. In addition, the program is punctuated with human dramas to humanize and further dramatize the science. Stunning footage and first-rate storytelling.

The Immune Response: How the Body Defends Itself After examining the immune system’s outer defenses (skin, sweat, tears, and more), this video illustrates protein-based responses, cell-based responses, inflammation, clotting, fever, and humoral immunity. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online. (21 minutes) © 2011 Preview Clip Online C ‡ $129.95 QGR48281 • DVD / VOD
The Role of Enzymes Ranging from basic biology to specialized genetics, this program studies the functions and characteris- tics of enzymes, among the most important proteins in our physiology. Viewers learn how enzymes are highly specific in their activity, how they form an enzyme-substrate complex, and how genetic engi- neering has helped isolate specific enzymes, such as polymerase, further enabling scientists to harness their power.

The Disappearing Male: Environmental Threats to Human Reproduction The last few decades have seen a dramatic increase in cases of low sperm count, sperm abnormalities, and testicular cancer—while, in more than 20 indus- trialized nations, the male birth rate has steadily declined. This program examines the phenomenon and its likely cause: “hormone mimicking” or “endo- crine disrupting” chemicals found in everything from common plastics to meat and dairy products.

INMOTION THE BODY
This three-part series begins with a broad overview of the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems. The series then moves on to advanced details of biomechani- cal principles and fluid mechanics and how they are used by athletes to enhance their performance. The series concludes by illustrating how to apply a knowledge of bodily motion to personal fitness regimens. (24–26 minutes each) © 2010 Preview Clip Online C ‡
An Introduction In action or at rest, the human body is always in motion. This program uses vivid animations and real-life examples to show how the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems work and how they influence and respond to movement. $129.95 QGR42235 • DVD / VOD
Influences on Movement How can biomechanical principles be used to enhance physical performance? This program explains how to calculate velocity, acceleration, and momentum involving major types of bodily motion; distinguishes between two types of balance while discussing the concept of center of gravity and showing how to calculate force; and investigates the principles of fluid mechanics, including buoyancy, displacement, and resistance. $129.95 QGR42236 • DVD / VOD
Science of Men Testosterone—it affects a man’s strength, sex drive, even his parenting skills. This program explores the science behind masculinity and the central role of testosterone in male development. Topics include a study of infant eye movements and gender-based preferences; an adult test correlating higher levels of testosterone with a preference for status over money; and an analysis of testosterone levels in men with varying degrees of fatherly commitment.

Fitness, Skill, and Training Before starting any physical fitness routine, it is important to determine what areas need attention. In this program, viewers will learn practical tests that measure the health-related and skill-related compo- nents of fitness, how to apply the FITT principle— frequency, intensity, type, and time—to a training regimen, and what happens to the cardiorespiratory system during exercise. $129.95 QGR42237 • DVD / VOD
