Discovery Health Takes In-Depth Look at Human Anatomy

SILVER SPRING, August 1:
Discovery Health will next month premiere a four-part documentary series that
combines high-tech graphics with live-action footage to explore how humans
think, move and age.

Body in Numbers premieres September 3, airing Wednesday nights at
9 p.m. The series, produced by Touch Productions, explores the human body’s
abilities, vital statistics and secrets. Using key numerical facts—for
example, there are 62,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body—this
series will trace the consequences of our everyday actions and explain how our
bodies react and adapt.
