The Body in motion : an introduction
AV 612.76 BOD 24 mins

The Human body is always on the move. Whether we are jumping, running or sitting still; blood is pumping, muscles are contracting, and joints are moving. The body's internal systems perform complex processes every second of everyday, so we can spend our time doing what ever we need to. This video resource takes us inside the human body, showing us just how the musculoskeletal and cardio-respiratory systems work and how they influence and respond to movement. This information-packed programme is presented in a clear and logical format, with vivid animations and real-life examples that will engage viewers from start to finish.
