Ulisse - Il piacere della scoperta (2001) : 13x16

There is nothing more familiar, and at the same time more mysterious, than this perfect machine that can do things that no machine invented by man would ever be able to do. Not only thanks to his refined senses, but even more through his incredible ability to process thoughts, ideas and emotions. During the episode we will discover his devices up close: the engine, the infrastructures, the roadways and the circuits, passing through 10 thousand blinks; 20 thousand breaths; and 100 thousand heartbeats. Through the truly unique images of the National Geographic documentary entitled "The Incredible Human Machine", we will travel inside the organism by exploring the main organs and observing them in action. In fact, looking inside the human body we realize that each organ is composed of an infinite number of tissues, cells, molecules that must move and work perfectly in sync to make every gesture, reaction or behavior possible.
