Oxygen Transport
3-D animation shows the uptake of oxygen by the red blood cells at the alveoli. Shows how hemoglobin binds to the oxygen to transport it through the circulatory system to the tissues. Grades 7-12. 3:09 min.
How a Virus Works
This narrated animation explains what a virus is and how it functions. It relates the way a virus works to nanotechnology. The human immune system fights an infection, like a virus, using various types of cells. The body has to adapt to infections and the dead cells are carried to the lymph nodes.Â
