Anatomy for Beginners: The Anatomy of Circulation DVD

This DVD takes viewers into the inner workings of the respiratory and circulatory systems, exposing the path that oxygen takes through the human body. The internationally known anatomist, Gunther von Hagen, dissects lung tissue to reveal alveoli, delves into the atria and ventricles of the heart, and examines the intricate network of blood vessels that spreads through the abdomen, limbs, digestive system, head and brain. von Hagen clearly explains terms like "vena cava", "pericardium"," iliac artery" and other circulatory concepts. He also illustrates the effects of smoking on the lungs and what happens inside the body in cases of emphysema, asthma, pleurisy, arteriosclerosis and heart attack.
