Moving parts
Description
This program shows how the cerebellum coordinates muscle activity and how position sensors in the muscles and joints and the balancing mechanism of the inner ear function. The motions of a water-skier show how muscles, joints, and organs link up. The role of joints is explained, and a look at the interior of a human knee shows clearly how lubricating fluid is produced.
