The Body Machine

Summary of The Body Machine

Man has an insatiable appetite for the ultimate performance machine - we are constantly in a race to be bigger, stronger, faster, better. We build machines to work for us, to transport us, to give us pleasure and every generation they get faster, smarter and more complex. Ironically, we are overlooking the most sophisticated machine of all - the one that lives under our skin. Most of the time, we don't even realize what's going on because all our parts come together in perfect synchrony. Discovery Science's THE BODY MACHINE is a landmark special that showcases just how remarkable the human body really is. With incredible real-life stunts and CGI, THE BODY MACHINE tracks and maps the inner workings of our body. Hear from medical experts as they dissect the marvels of our human form and magnify the microscopic elements that make us who we are.
