ARTERIES — THE BODY’S EXPRESSWAYS
Video
Presents information on how the arterial system functions, bringing food and oxygen to
all parts of the body. 30 minutes.
CBM069
BLOOD
Video
Blood and circulation are explained in this program through the story of a sickle cell
sufferer. By looking at the ways in which sickle cell disease affects the body, the
program explains how the blood circulatory system operates and how the latest technology
is being used to improve diagnosis and treatment of a major disease. Also included
is a description of DNA and protein synthesis; gas exchange at the cellular level; genetic
counseling; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); and applications of science and technology
in medicine. 20 minutes.

This video looks at the host of complex tasks performed by blood. It also
examines blood disorders. 23 minutes.
CBM072
BLOOD: THE MICROSCOPIC MIRACLE
Viewers look at the parts of blood and some of the functions they serve — healing
wounds, defending our bodies from infection, and transporting oxygen, food, and hormones
to the cells of the body. Includes a Teacher’s Guide. 22 minutes.
CBM073
THE BLOOD — THE WATERWAY ON WHICH LIFE DEPENDS
Video
Oxygen and food are carried in the blood to each cell, and waste matter is removed by
the same method. 30 minutes.
CBM074B
BLOOD PRESSURE
Video
Designed for the nursing professional. Provides an overview of the skills
necessary for taking blood pressure. 16 minutes.
CBM078
THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Video
Viewers learn the functions of the cardiovascular system and its individual
parts. Examines the blood constituents; explains hematopoiesis; presents an
explanation of white and red cell counts; interprets the blood clotting process; discusses
the vascular bed, heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins. Describes the concept of
blood pressure, the indirect method of measuring arterial pressure, and the significance
of the pulse pressure. 29 minutes.
CBM081 CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD
Video
The human body requires a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to its billions of cells, and the constant removal of carbon dioxide and water. Those tasks are performed by the blood. In this examination of the circulatory system, colorful animation documents the process that keeps human beings alive. The program explains the function of each part of the heart, shows how matter is exchanged in the cells, and illustrates the role of the nervous system in regulating heartbeat. 24 minutes.
CBM083
ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY
Video
Discusses single-channel EKG and 3-channel EKG; patient care; equipment care; artifacts
and how to correct them; transmitting an EKG over the telephone; and mounting an
EKG. 25 minutes
CBM084
HEART
Video
Discusses the mechanics of the heart, and how it manages to function with no help from
ourselves. 30 minutes.
CBM087
THE HEART AND CIRCULATION
Video
This classic program shows how the heart and blood vessels circulate blood. It
reveals the factors affecting the rate of heartbeat and the flow of blood from a severed
artery. 10 minutes.
CBM088
THE HEART AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Video
The processes of this system are shown through the use of animation,
cinemicrography,
and cineangiography. The program also examines some of the causes of heart
disease. Includes a Teacher’s Guide. 16 minutes.
CBM090
THE HEART AS MOTOR OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Video
Presents further information on the heart and its various functions. 30 minutes.
CBM092
HEART SOUNDS
Video
Reviews the phases of the normal cardiac cycle. Describes anatomic structures
used as landmarks. 39 minutes.
CBM094
LIFE UNDER PRESSURE
Video
This program follows the journey of a red blood cell around the circulatory system to
demonstrate the efficiency and elegance of the design that delivers oxygen and food to all
parts of the body and removes wastes before they can do harm. It shows how the veins
and arteries are structured to perform their tasks: muscular arteries to transmit
the force of the heartbeat, veins with valves to ensure the blood’s return to the
heart. 26 minutes.
CBM097A
PACEMAKERS: THE ELECTRIC HEARTBEAT
Video
This program discusses the function of a pacemaker and the latest advances in pacemaker
technology. 19 minutes.
