Nervous, Skeletal & Muscular Systems

Goal: To understand the basic anatomy of the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems.

Description: Take a visual, introductory journey through the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. Using a variety of special effects, endoscopic video of organs inside a living organism, three-dimensional graphics and specimens of dissected organs, experts of human anatomy, animal science, muscle biology and comparative anatomy use more than a century of combined experience to give an understanding of what makes higher level organisms function. This program offers a comparative view of the organ systems elements of different animal species and classes, including fish, poultry, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and humans, offering a wider perspective and a more thorough understanding of the structures and functions within these systems.

Objectives: 1. To understand the basic functions of the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems.

2. To understand the different types of the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems.

3. To identify basic structures associated with the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems.
