Details

• Release Year: 2008
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: Human Body: Pushing the Limits takes you across continents and introduces you to people who have pushed their bodies to the max. This groundbreaking program uses CGI technology and hi-tech camera work to examine their physical ordeals in vivid detail both externally and internally!; ; Sight: Sight is the king of the senses; more than 80 percent of what we know of the world comes through our eyes. Experience one of the body's most critical and fascinating components from the inside out. Strength: The human body is engineered for strength, power and endurance. Bone is as sturdy as concrete but flexible enough to resist breaking. It's even light enough to allow us to be quicker off the mark than a racehorse. Sensation: Less than one twentieth of an inch below the surface of the skin are the ultra-sensitive 'antennae' that allow us to sense the world around us. This vital layer is the gateway to the original information superhighway...the nervous system. Brain Power: The driving force behind every one of us is the most powerful organ in the natural world: the human brain. A central processing unit that generates as many electrical impulses in a single day as all the telephones in the world put together.
