The creation of this human dissection manual, and the computer software program with the collection of videodisc images which accompany it, were developed by a team of individuals who place high value on education. While creating this multimedia approach to the study of human anatomy, the authors have been guided throughout by a single goal: to provide students and educators with a resource to enhance the discovery process inherent in the study of the human body.

Hank begins a series of videos on organ systems with a look at the nervous system and all of the things that it is responsible for in the body.
Circulatory & Respiratory Systems
Hank takes us on a trip around the body - we follow the circulatory and respiratory systems as they deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from cells, and help make it possible for our bodies to function.
Hank takes us through the bowels of the human digestive system and explains why it's all about surface area.
The skeletal system: It's ALIVE!
Hank introduces us to the framework of our bodies, our skeleton, which apart from being the support and protection for all our fleshy parts, is involved in many other vital processes that help our bodies to function properly.
