Human Body Animations

Human Body Animations

This section of the website allows students to view animations of specific body organs and systems in action. Along with each animation, a description is provided to explain what is happening in the animation. The description includes all the major components, for example the three parts of the inner ear. Example human body animations, which also provide cut away views, include:

• Capillary – how the arterial system provides oxygenated blood throughout the body.
• Heart – an animation of how the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs and then pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body.
• Ear – how sound waves interact with the outer, middle, and inner ear. Fields of vision allows students to observe different focal lengths of the eye with the field of vision.
• Nasal Passage – shows how air passes through the nasal passages to the lungs and involves the sense of smell in identifying objects.
• Nerve and Muscle Connection – shows the interaction between the brain, nerves, and muscles to control movement.
