Synopsis:

National Geographic: Incredible Human Machine takes viewers on a two-hour journey through an ordinary, and extraordinary, day-in-the-life of the human machine. With stunning high-definition footage, radical scientific advances and powerful firsthand accounts, Incredible Human Machine plunges deep into the routine marvels of the human body. Through 10,000 blinks of an eye, 20,000 breaths of air and 100,000 beats of the heart, see the amazing and surprising, even phenomenal inner workings of our bodies on a typical day. And explore striking feats of medical advancement, from glimpses of an open-brain surgery to real-time measurement of rocker Steven Tyler's vocal chords.

You and your family can travel on an amazing journey through the inner world of the human body. Have you ever wondered how your taste buds or vocal cords look at close range? How your eardrum processes sound? How are your muscles able to move in so many ways? Or how does your eye adjust to changes in light? Tiny cameras explore up close the internal workings of the human body in this crash course in human physiology. Though made in 1975, the visual effects created by x-rays, microscopes, and time-lapse photography still fascinate in this exploration at the microscopic level.
