Digestion

The theme of this dissection was digestion. This demonstration uncovered the organs that carry food through the body, from the mouth to the anus, taking in various different portions of the digestive tract (also know as the gut or intestine). It also revealed the organs that support the gut in digesting food, like the liver and pancreas, together with those that help remove waste products from the body fluids, like the kidneys.

Reproduction
Season 1Episode 460 min

Reproduction

The theme of this dissection was reproduction. Dr von Hagens revealed the organs that carry a sperm from its origin in the testis, through many metres of convoluted tubing and into the female genital tract. The dissection, especially of the male genital tract, is challenging because many of the tubes are small and hidden within the bony walls of the pelvis. The dissection involved cutting through the bones of the pelvis in just the right place to keep the relevant organs in tact.
