  • The cells
    E1
    The cellsThis program is about the cells, about the structure of the cells and their activities. To facilitate understanding of how the body is structured and how it functions, the explanation is visualized both through words and pictures. The cells in the body are compared to pieces in a puzzle, and for the body to be well, all the cells must be well.
  • Beginning
    E2
    BeginningIn this programme, the individual's beginnings are explained - i.e. conception, and we talk about pregnancy and birth. The emphasis on love and care is prominent in the programme, while the great wonder that is the creation of life is explained in pictures and words that make it comprehensible and wonderful.
  • The skin
    E3
    The skinIn this program we see, among other things, on the properties of the skin. We know that the skin contains sensory organs, sensory bodies for pain, pressure, touch, heat and cold. Certain areas of the body are more sensitive than others. The skin protects us so that bacteria and viruses that can make us ill do not get through. This and more will be covered in the program
  • The sight
    E4
    The sightThink what a wonderful device the eye is! But what actually happens when we see? Or when we are not looking? Or when we only see things as gray shadows? We will, among other things, into the functions of the eye, the vision and the processing of what we see.
  • The hearing
    E5
    The hearingIn this program we look at the structure of the ear and what happens when we hear.
  • The airways
    E6
    The airwaysAll the cells in the body need the air we breathe. We look at how the lungs and the other airways are built up, how the vocal cords are tightened in different ways when we exhale, so that it vibrates, and that way it makes sounds.
  • The movements
    E7
    The movementsWhat takes up the most space in the body is the skeleton and muscles. With the help of X-rays, you can see the skeleton. In this program we get, among other things, know a little about what the bones are made of, and what kind of food we should eat to get a strong and good skeleton. Surrounding the skeleton are the muscles. When the muscles create movement in the joints between the bones, we move. We have muscles that control all the joints in the body.
  • The alimentary canals
    E8
    The alimentary canalsThe path from food to waste products is via an ingenious "channel" system in the body. We take in many different substances when we eat, but the body cannot use them all. In order for the cells to choose what they want, the food must be broken down - digested - so that the different substances emerge. We take a closer look at proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water.
  • The transport
    E9
    The transportThe heart pumps the blood around the body, exactly as fast as it is needed. We look at the blood system in the body, and what functions the different blood cells have. On its journey around the body, the blood passes through the lungs and collects fresh air, which all cells need. Fresh air and food are then transported around the entire body. What the cells do not need, the blood takes with it to the kidneys, and further out as urine.
  • The control
    E10
    The controlThis program is about how the brain controls the body. The messages that come from all our senses go to the brain and tell us about everything we see and hear, taste and smell. Everything is collected in the brain, so we recognize things for another time. Our thoughts control the body, and the messages to and from the brain go through the nerves.
  • The development
    E11
    The developmentWe look at human development, the different stages in life, physical changes, roles etc. We look at knowledge that is stored, puberty and what happens between boys and girls during that period.
  • Sick - healthy
    E12
    Sick - healthyWe talk about what it's like to be sick, and what happens at the doctor's. Most illnesses and injuries go away, and the program is mostly about this. However, we also touch upon things such as chronic illness and illness with a fatal outcome.
  • The thoughts
    E13
    The thoughtsbout what we think - and what we do
