- Documentary
Episode overview
A great journey inside the human body. There is nothing more familiar, yet more mysterious, than this perfect machine that can do things no machine invented by man could ever accomplish. Not only thanks to its refined senses, but even more so through its incredible ability to process thoughts, ideas, and emotions. We discover its mechanisms up close: the engine, the infrastructure, the roadways, and the circuits, passing through 10,000 blinks. 20,000 breaths. And 100,000 heartbeats. Through the truly unique images of the National Geographic documentary "The Incredible Human Machine," we travel inside the organism, exploring its main organs and observing them in action.
