They are senses that have evolved independently over millions of years but are brought together by our marvelous central nervous system into the most refined way of interacting with the environment of any species on the planet. Join Dr. Mark Reisman as he provides you with a unique look at the anatomy and physiology of each of these sensory systems and shows how the brain uses them to produce what we call being human.

Reviews:
"classes studying human anatomy will find this series useful in providing information about basic anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and mechanics of the various body systems. Heart surgeon Dr. Mark Reisman describes the anatomy and function of each body system through live-action video, photos, medical imaging, and realistic 3-D animation. The evolutionary development of each body system is also discussed. Cadaver dissections are used to point out structures and organs associated with each system.... The educator's guide contains an extensive vocabulary list and a transcript of the program. Closed captioning and Spanish subtitles are optional."
