I bought this DVD for my anatomy class, as I am not fond of lecturing over the nervous system...I thought it would help give them an overview before I lectured. It was okay, but not great. It definately didn't overload them with information; all it really did was cover the very basics...a little more detail would have been better. This video would probably be best suited for middle school anatomy, not college-age.

This material presents the nervous system as it claims, but through some lengthy narrations and it jumps from one interview to another. In my opinion, a good documentary must succeed first to captivate the viewer attention by instigating the audience and viewers curiosity then keeping it awake. It may by just a matter of preference though. Otherwise, it touches the main and specific aspects it claims it approaches. I give it 3 of 5 stars.

Received product in a timely manner and am extremely satisfied with the quality of this product and its information.

I teach an A&P course to adults and this DVD presents the basics in a very concise manner. The language is easy to understand. If you are teaching a nervous system overview, this is the DVD for you. If you are, however, teaching much more in depth, you will need to discover another DVD. I am personally fond of the National Geographic presentations! As mentioned in a previous review, "Just The Facts" is exactly what it says it is - just the facts - and it does it very well. (:
