The Bones, Muscles, and Joints
Description
Our bones, muscles, and joints account for more than half of all reported pain. Over time, our skeletons suffer the effects of age and misuse, causing everything from arthritis and slipped disks to dowager's hump. Such conditions are commonplace and have plagued us throughout recorded history. In this episode, Dr. Alice Roberts, an experienced physical anthropologist as well as a medical doctor and an expert in anatomy, has acquired a collection of interesting ancient bones that helps explain the stresses the human skeleton has always experienced. Using her trademark dissection of animal parts, Dr. Roberts shows what a slipped disk actually looks like and what happens to a joint when it is damaged by osteoarthritis.
