The Brain
There are 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the brain—wow! In this brain video, viewers see how the brain has evolved from simple to complex organisms. The instructor explains the 17 different structures of the brain and their...
Bozeman Science
Muscular System
To take one step, the body uses about 200 muscles. In the video, learners see the difference between the three types of muscles found in the human body—skeletal/striated, smooth, and cardiac. The instructor then explains, in detail, how...
Bozeman Science
Biology
In this biology video, the instructor introduces the four main concepts behind Biology approved by The College Board—evolution, free energy, information, and systems. Individuals then listen to and see descriptions and examples of each...
