Content Description

Volume 5 of the acclaimed NHK Special documentary series 驚異の小宇宙・人体 (The Universe Within / The Marvelous Microcosm: The Human Body). This episode explores the remarkable coordinated system of bones and muscles — how the human skeleton constantly renews itself, the microscopic structure of muscle tissue, and how bone and muscle interact with gravity and the nervous system. Features both actual high-vision microscope footage and CG visualization. Draws on experiences of Soviet and American astronauts to illustrate the effects of weightlessness on bone and muscle. Co-produced with SVT (Swedish Television).
