Human Body Series: Nervous System

Explore the nervous system, the biochemical communications network of the human body, through a series of animated sequences that trace the structure of neurons and illuminate biochemical impulses. Revealing visuals are supported by informative features in which a neurologist discusses the chemistry of a nerve impulse, a physical therapist explains the role of therapy in the regeneration of injured nerves and a pharmacist describes the action of certain nerve-impulse blockers as well as their counter indications. 14 minutes | Color
