This review is from: Body Worlds The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies - DVD (DVD)

I was informed by a colleague about this video. It's great! It shows a museum of cadavers that were skinned and displayed as exhibits. The video discusses info about all 12 organ systems of the body and their functions. They even show organs that have been destroyed by drinking (liver), smoking (lungs), ect. They show a fetus in different stages of gestation, and inside the womb. They ONLY reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that the voice over talks in one tone which makes the movie a bit boring, BUT VERY INFORMATIVE! I recommend this to any Teacher/Professor teaching General Biology, Anatomy and Physiology or any branch of Science that discusses the human body. You don't have to watch the whole video at once. You can just jump to the chapters that you are discussing. This video is phenomenal!

I use this with my adult education class. It is a great alternative if I am not able to take them on a field trip to the exhibit. It also goes further into the explanation of the process used as well as an overview of the different body systems. I was impressed.
