Product Description

Muscles: National Geographic investigates the science of muscle by taking a journey inside the bodies of two remarkable humans with startling muscular disorders. 31-year old Jason Dunn lives with Dystonia, a rare disease that causes his brain to send faulty messages to his muscular system. Every waking moment his muscles flex out of his control, twisting his body into unusual positions. Ami Ankileweitz has Spinal Muscle Atrophy, a genetic disorder that has caused his muscles to wither away. Skin: National Geographic explores the science of skin by taking us inside the bodies of two extraordinary humans living with puzzling genetic conditions. 14-year old Hunter Steinitz suffers from Harlequin Ichthyosis, a rare condition that causes her skin to grow layer upon layer without flaking off, progressively encasing her in a tight suit of thick skin. As for Garrett, he has no skin to spare. His skin lacks the "Velcro" it needs to adhere to the body, leaving parts of it completely raw and exposed. Using leading-edge animation, travel below the surface and into the extraordinary bodies of Hunter and Garrett to discover what makes and breaks this intricate and delicate tissue we call skin.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for use in a high school classroom.

    This video complements the integumentary system and muscular system units that I teach in high school anatomy and physiology. It shows diagrams of the different structures and what is different (from normal) about the structures of the affected individuals featured on the DVD. It is a great video for concept reinforcement. It would also fit in well with a genetics unit, as some genetic conditions are highlighted. The video is also great for anyone to watch to increase awareness of different medical conditions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Skin Episode featuring Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa is best I've ever seen
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2015
    The skin episode features Garrett, who has Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. This is possibly the best documentary I have ever seen on the subject. My son is friends with Garrett and he has the same exact condition, they are 2 months apart. Great Job National Geographic!!
