HUMAN BODY movie
The Human Body movie is a BBC documentary series first shown on 1998.
Presented by Robert Winston, a medical scientist and leading commentator on medical matters, Lord Winston takes the viewer on a documentary journey from birth to death using time-lapse photography, computer graphics and state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The series explores every aspect of the human body in its various stages of growth, maturity and inevitable decline. Conception, toddlerhood, adolescence, the complexities of the brain and finally death are all documented and explained.
Episodes of Human Body:
1. HUMAN BODY Life Story movie: Every second, a world of miraculous microscopic events take place within the body.
You'll journey with me on the road that your body takes. Through dangers. Through miracles. And through time. We'll see the human body in all its forms, fom our beginning to all our ends.
2. HUMAN BODY An everyday miracle movie: The drama of conception activates the most sophisticated life support machine on earth.
The great triumph, though, is that we have also inherited solutions. So although the human body makes pregnancy the most complicated task it ever faces, at the same time it makes it look so very easy.
3. HUMAN BODY First Steps movie: In four years, the new-born child learns every survival skill.
They can be tracked on a computer to reveal the underlying motion of my skeleton. It's the only way you can follow something even as seemingly simple as the movement of a limb.
4. HUMAN BODY Raging Teens movie: The hormone-driven roller-coaster otherwise known as adolescence!
Watching how they move reveals how impressive the human body is. I don't mind the growing, the growing in height, but any other way is just a curse, the curse of puberty.
5. HUMAN BODY Brain Power movie: The adult human brain is the most complicated - and mysterious - object in the universe.
Even so, there will always be some questions that it just cannot answer. As a religious person, I believe that much of what makes us human will forever remain mysterious, even spiritual. I call it the soul.
6. HUMAN BODY As time goes by movie: is far more complex and fascinating than mere decline.
We tend to think that the human capacity for art, science and technology is what marks us out. But though we don't often see it this way.
7. HUMAN BODY The end of life movie: Even in death, the body reveals remarkable secrets.
The sensations of euphoria may be because the brain releases opiate-like substances to relieve the acute distress and pain.

There is one thing that everyone on Earth has in common. We all live, eat and breathe within the human body. For two years, I have been exploring this unique dwelling place. I want to show you what I have seen. To come with me, you'll have to cross the globe, from Australia, through Africa, to America. You'll have to journey into space, and into a place as mysterious but much closer to home. We've developed new techniques to help you get there. New cameras to show you the way. And we'll look at familiar things with a fresh eye.

You're looking at a baby's heart. It's beating 120 times a minute. But, amazingly, it's not the only thing keeping this human being alive. That's done by the most sophisticated life-support machine on Earth. To find that machine, we have to leave the heart and travel through an artery the thickness of a drinking straw. Every one of us has an almost identical network of arteries and veins. Identical, that is, except for this one. And we'll show how, time after time, the human body has to overcome the most daunting of obstacles to complete the everyday miracle of new life.

This programme tells the story of the human body's enormous changes during puberty. It's also about what it feels like to experience puberty. If I'd grown in the same way, I could have fathered a child at the age of four, and would be completely grown at the age of six. The reason I didn't do that is because the human body does something very unusual. It breaks the journey from baby to sexual maturity when we're tiny, just six months old.
