Using the most advanced medical imaging, 3-D graphics and cadaver footage, world renowned surgeon, Dr. Mark Riesman, guides the viewer through the anatomy, physiology, and evolution of the human mucular system. He guides viewers through the anatomy and physiology of the human body's many muscles, tendons and ligaments, including the human heart.

Using the most advanced medical imaging, 3-D graphics and cadaver footage, world renowned surgeon, Dr. Mark Riesman, guides the viewer through the anatomy, physiology, and evolution of the human digestive and renal system. He provides a unique look at the anatomy and physiology of the many organs and structures of digestion, and explains the processes of metabolism. The detailed analysis includes a description of miraculous sequence of mechanical and chemical processes that occur as food is converted into nutrients to sustain all the body's activities.

Looks at the important elements that would create the discipline of environmental science in the 20th century. Outlines the theory of plant succession, the twin developments of ecology and ecosystems, the concept of niche, the five kingdoms of life, the Gaia hypothesis, and the coining of the term "biodiversity.".

Describes the history of zoology, beginning in 350 B.C. and noting such developments as species classification, comparative anatomy, the theory of evolution, and the science of animal behavior.

Explores the history of environmental science and discusses a number of concepts, including biomes, plant succession, ecology, ecosystems, niche, classification, the Gaia hypothesis, and biodiversity. Includes a teacher's guide, a time line, a quiz, and images.

Explores the history of plant science and discusses a number of concepts, including physiology, reproduction, Mendel's Laws of Inheritance, nitrogen-fixing, photosynthesis, and the five kingdoms. Includes a teacher's guide, a time line, a quiz, and images.

Explores the history of microbiology and genetics and discusses a number of concepts, including the cellular basis of life, Mendel's Laws of Inheritance, germ theory of disease, mitosis, meiosis, genes, and symbiotic cells, Includes teacher's guide, a time line, a quiz, and images.

Using the most advanced medical imaging, 3-D graphics and cadaver footage, world renowned surgeon, Dr. Mark Riesman, guides the viewer through the anatomy, physiology, and evolution of the human skeletal system. His analysis includes a segment on how the bones are chemical factories producing red blood cells.
