1
00:00:00,575 --> 00:00:00,639
[applause] Ok, Ok, yea I have to take care of this now

2
00:00:00,639 --> 00:00:08,226
How are you doing Mr. Marrow, sorry I'm late

3
00:00:08,226 --> 00:00:10,005
there was a lot going on in the lab. Boy

4
00:00:10,005 --> 00:00:12,644
Mr. Marrow are you getting enough exercise for

5
00:00:12,644 --> 00:00:23,969
your muscles? It's like you're all bone. Mr. Marrow? Mr. Marrow? Mr. Marrow? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

6
00:00:23,969 --> 00:00:36,302
Bill Nye the Science Guy, Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy. Science rules!

7
00:00:36,302 --> 00:00:42,559
Bill Nye the science guy. Ernicia is a property of matter.

8
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:51,446
Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy. T minus 7 seconds

9
00:00:51,446 --> 00:00:59,099
Bill Nye the science guy. bRought to you by bones without them you wouldn't have a leg to

10
00:00:59,099 --> 00:01:04,580
stand on. bones and muscles available in fine animals everywhere

11
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:07,771
do you realize to work these buttons and open

12
00:01:07,771 --> 00:01:12,476
this door I need every muscle and bone in my body

13
00:01:12,476 --> 00:01:14,841
that's because they're all working together

14
00:01:14,841 --> 00:01:22,181
whether your waving, walking, walking funny

15
00:01:22,181 --> 00:01:31,055
running, jumping, or flying your muscles and bones work together

16
00:01:31,055 --> 00:01:34,393
to make you move. see there's a skeleton in

17
00:01:34,393 --> 00:01:38,226
every one of us. we're all a bunch of bones

18
00:01:38,226 --> 00:01:41,932
this is our extension arm of science. This

19
00:01:41,932 --> 00:01:46,203
white pieces are like bones and these thin ropes are like

20
00:01:46,203 --> 00:01:49,919
muscles. now watch what happens when we make this rope

21
00:01:49,919 --> 00:01:53,970
this muscle shorter. the arm moves this way

22
00:01:53,970 --> 00:01:57,186
we make this rope shorter the arm moves that

23
00:01:57,186 --> 00:02:07,142
way. see hoo, haw hoo haw hoo haw hoo haw hoo haw

24
00:02:07,142 --> 00:02:11,560
no matter which way pushing or pulling the muscles are getting shorter

25
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,539
they are contracting. Now we have 200 bones on our body

26
00:02:16,539 --> 00:02:20,439
most of them are controlled with two sets of muscles

27
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:24,753
that's what allows us to move and jump and

28
00:02:24,753 --> 00:02:30,554
hoo haw. Bones form the framework of our body

29
00:02:30,554 --> 00:02:36,258
ligaments help hold the bones together muscles move the bones

30
00:02:36,258 --> 00:02:39,723
tendons anchor the muscles to the bones.

31
00:02:39,723 --> 00:02:44,875
AHHHCHOO. you have tendons all over your body

32
00:02:44,875 --> 00:02:47,615
as you can see the tendons in the back of your

33
00:02:47,615 --> 00:02:50,443
hands. those tendons connect these muscles

34
00:02:50,443 --> 00:02:56,205
with these bones. Isn't that cool? Oh, I've

35
00:02:56,205 --> 00:03:02,914
gotta go. Whats the breakfast treat that

36
00:03:02,914 --> 00:03:06,144
sure to please from your pirital bone to your

37
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:13,357
flanges. Bone-os, bone-os. Here's a very

38
00:03:13,357 --> 00:03:15,886
cool experiment that you can do to prove that

39
00:03:15,886 --> 00:03:18,338
bones have minerals. Next time you eat

40
00:03:18,338 --> 00:03:20,719
chicken or turkey save the bones. Take a leg bone

41
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,411
it's the biggest bone and put it in a bowl of

42
00:03:23,411 --> 00:03:28,504
vinegar. We're wearing safety goggles becauase

43
00:03:28,504 --> 00:03:33,892
vinegar is an acid. Leave the bones in for a long

44
00:03:33,892 --> 00:03:37,388
time after 2 months. The acid dissolves all the

45
00:03:37,388 --> 00:03:40,640
mineral away from the bone. Without minerals

46
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,785
the bones get soft and easy to bend. You can

47
00:03:42,785 --> 00:03:52,602
even tie one in a knot. There. [applause]

48
00:03:52,602 --> 00:04:01,225
hammering looks simple doesn't it? You just

49
00:04:01,225 --> 00:04:03,723
move your arm, but watch the hammer needs your

50
00:04:03,723 --> 00:04:05,679
fingers and they are connected to your wrist

51
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:07,472
and that's connect to your lower arm and that's

52
00:04:07,472 --> 00:04:09,593
connected to your upper arm and that's connected

53
00:04:09,593 --> 00:04:11,521
to your back and that's connected to your

54
00:04:11,521 --> 00:04:16,142
leg. Look you even need to move your toes to hammer. To even

55
00:04:16,142 --> 00:04:18,477
do a simply thing like this you need your whole

56
00:04:18,477 --> 00:04:22,144
body because your bones and muscles are connected.

57
00:04:22,144 --> 00:04:33,221
Oh, oh ouch ouch. [ominous music] what is that

58
00:04:33,221 --> 00:04:41,691
over there what is that thing? Ohhh It's the

59
00:04:41,691 --> 00:04:46,555
science guy! Scared you huh? See sharks don't have

60
00:04:46,555 --> 00:04:53,300
any bones they're all cartilage soft and rubbery. You have cartilage too in

61
00:04:53,300 --> 00:05:01,727
your ribs, your ears, and your nose. See how soft it is and rubbery.

62
00:05:01,727 --> 00:05:32,373
What? [music]

63
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:36,305
Without bones, we couldn't hold ourselves up.

64
00:05:36,305 --> 00:05:43,891
We'd be floppy, like this pancake. We'd just collapse.

65
00:05:43,891 --> 00:05:47,979
On the other hand, if we're all stiff rigid bone, like this

66
00:05:47,979 --> 00:05:51,218
gingerbread guy then we couldn't move at all we need

67
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:54,813
muscles and soft movable parts to get around

68
00:05:54,813 --> 00:06:00,501
muscles move our bones around. That's how it works, whether you're lifting something

69
00:06:00,501 --> 00:06:05,062
pushing, or jumping up like a spring, ha ha

70
00:06:05,062 --> 00:06:08,811
muscles and bones help us move around. coming this

71
00:06:08,811 --> 00:06:15,973
sunday its the muscle pull. smooth striped and caridac

72
00:06:15,973 --> 00:06:19,942
we've got it all! Muscles, muscles, and more muscles

73
00:06:19,942 --> 00:06:22,951
extending and contracting and moving like

74
00:06:22,951 --> 00:06:26,463
you've never seen before! So grab the kids

75
00:06:26,463 --> 00:06:29,805
grab the dog and grab the neighbors and grab your ace bandage

76
00:06:29,805 --> 00:06:32,757
and come on down to the anatomy arena!

77
00:06:32,757 --> 00:06:44,221
muscles move our bodies. without muscles we couldn't ride a bike.

78
00:06:44,221 --> 00:06:50,009
or play with dogs [Man: Uh, Bill] or do experiments in the lab.

79
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:52,973
[Man: Bill] so our muscles help us move

80
00:06:52,973 --> 00:06:57,016
because they all work together [man: your not fooling anyone Bill.]

81
00:06:57,016 --> 00:07:00,354
So as i move the muscles in my arm my biceps

82
00:07:00,354 --> 00:07:05,109
i'm also moving all the other muscles in my body

83
00:07:05,109 --> 00:07:09,054
because they're all connected

84
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:20,802
bones! [man: Bill, uh Bill] Muscles!!

85
00:07:20,802 --> 00:07:23,357
Those are very fine muscles you have. Of

86
00:07:23,357 --> 00:07:26,107
course you know these muscles are very important

87
00:07:26,107 --> 00:07:30,791
they give you the power to move about to do the work in the fields.

88
00:07:30,791 --> 00:07:33,020
now if we can look inside of you we can see

89
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:35,564
the skeleton, the bones of your body. why do you

90
00:07:35,564 --> 00:07:43,611
have these bones? The best way is to take away the skeleton and see what happens.

91
00:07:43,611 --> 00:07:49,184
look out! down you go you see you really need that skeleton

92
00:07:49,184 --> 00:07:51,222
that's the framework that holds your body up.

93
00:07:51,222 --> 00:07:53,719
Did you know that teeth are the strongest

94
00:07:53,719 --> 00:07:56,028
bones in the skeleton. There are 3 bones

95
00:07:56,028 --> 00:08:01,691
in the ear, the hammer, the anvil, the stirrip. There are over 600 separate muscles in the body.

96
00:08:01,691 --> 00:08:06,448
now you know!! Our bodies are like machines.

97
00:08:06,448 --> 00:08:09,246
or machines are a lot like our bodies. when

98
00:08:09,246 --> 00:08:13,388
a mechanism moves they have joints. like this

99
00:08:13,388 --> 00:08:16,813
door has a hinge. we have hinge joints in

100
00:08:16,813 --> 00:08:29,907
our fingers and our jaws. Ahhhhhh!

101
00:08:29,907 --> 00:08:32,451
[skeleton: Hello there Bill] our bones and muscles

102
00:08:32,451 --> 00:08:35,389
let us move our joints. Please consider the

103
00:08:35,389 --> 00:08:43,076
following.

104
00:08:43,076 --> 00:08:46,442
So in our hand, we have hinge joints. Like the

105
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:52,084
hinges on a gate. Also in our hands we have a

106
00:08:52,084 --> 00:08:54,440
special joint called the saddle joint, in our

107
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,043
thumb. It allows our thumb to go this way

108
00:08:58,043 --> 00:09:03,753
or this way. 2 directions 1 joint. cool!

109
00:09:03,753 --> 00:09:08,697
also in our body we'll find ball socket joints

110
00:09:08,697 --> 00:09:13,499
the kind we see in a tv. Ball and socket joints

111
00:09:13,499 --> 00:09:17,860
in our body are in our hips. look at our

112
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:24,079
hips move in all different ways.

113
00:09:24,079 --> 00:09:32,520
In our backs, we have swervy joints a whole bunch of them. Our backs slide

114
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,529
theres in joints in our body that don't move at all.

115
00:09:35,529 --> 00:09:41,959
fixed joints. There's fixed joints in your skull, but they don't move. all the

116
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:44,410
different joints in our body let our bodies move

117
00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:47,305
all different ways. Thanks for joining me

118
00:09:47,305 --> 00:10:46,031
I mean joint-ing me on consider the following.

119
00:10:46,031 --> 00:10:48,759
introducing a collection of music so spine

120
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,409
tingling it can be brought to you only by

121
00:10:51,409 --> 00:10:56,779
Deutsch gramabone. Presenting bonely is the night.

122
00:10:56,779 --> 00:11:04,678
who can forget songs like, Tiba tiba tibula, how i love my tibula.

123
00:11:04,678 --> 00:11:14,197
my leg bone and me. If I din't have a spine I couldn't stand it. Because I couldn't stand!

124
00:11:14,197 --> 00:11:17,331
Yo cranium, clavicle, and sternum you've got

125
00:11:17,331 --> 00:11:22,203
you got over 200 bones why don't you learn them. All these and many many more

126
00:11:22,203 --> 00:11:26,909
you realize what you're doing, don't you?

127
00:11:26,909 --> 00:11:29,914
Yea, I'm cracking my knuckles in your face.

128
00:11:29,914 --> 00:11:32,518
Actually you're pulling your bones apart and letting air

129
00:11:32,518 --> 00:11:38,611
bubbles between your joints. I am?

130
00:11:38,611 --> 00:11:41,596
I'm Tim Eng I work for Nike sport research

131
00:11:41,596 --> 00:11:43,395
lab and we have fun here and try to find

132
00:11:43,395 --> 00:11:46,424
the science behind the shoes.

133
00:11:46,424 --> 00:11:48,298
Big part of my job is learning how to distribute

134
00:11:48,298 --> 00:11:50,766
the pressure beneath the foot to minimize the

135
00:11:50,766 --> 00:11:55,363
impact and shock up into the bones and muscles

136
00:11:55,363 --> 00:11:57,361
with the bare foot we can see how much pressure

137
00:11:57,361 --> 00:11:59,198
is beneath the heel, the ball of the foot and

138
00:11:59,198 --> 00:12:01,566
the big toe. with a well design shoe we can

139
00:12:01,566 --> 00:12:03,735
distribute the pressure over the foot so that

140
00:12:03,735 --> 00:12:05,642
we can absorb some of the shock that goes

141
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:09,182
through the bones and muscles of the legs.

142
00:12:09,182 --> 00:12:10,981
with the shoe we can see the high pressure

143
00:12:10,981 --> 00:12:13,755
beneath the heel are gone and force of pressure

144
00:12:13,755 --> 00:12:17,796
is distributed evenly. good shoes fewer

145
00:12:17,796 --> 00:12:25,111
injuries!

146
00:12:25,111 --> 00:12:28,658
Bile Nye!!! it's easier to smile than it is

147
00:12:28,658 --> 00:12:30,672
to frown. That's because you only need

148
00:12:30,672 --> 00:12:35,352
17 muscles in your face to smile, but it takes

149
00:12:35,352 --> 00:12:43,700
43 muscles to frown. Ouch! that was my foot!

150
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:56,016
You never knoww when you're going to need more energy, less energy to smile! See ya!

151
00:12:56,016 --> 00:12:59,195
Did you know that...a sparrow has more bones in it's neck

152
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:01,943
than a giraffe does. The largest bone ever

153
00:13:01,943 --> 00:13:05,928
found was the 7 ft long brachiosaurus arm bone.

154
00:13:05,928 --> 00:13:09,114
Birds have hollow bones, which are light, so they can fly.

155
00:13:09,114 --> 00:13:11,456
Now you know!! ladies and gentlemen, I

156
00:13:11,456 --> 00:13:16,530
present the bone. Although bones come in all different shapes and sizes, they

157
00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:20,200
are basically the same 3 things. On the outside

158
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,707
is a hard membrane called the periosteum,

159
00:13:24,707 --> 00:13:30,948
and underneath that is a layer called the compact bone. that's the layer a dog really likes.

160
00:13:30,948 --> 00:13:34,667
then on the inside the soft cancellous bone

161
00:13:34,667 --> 00:13:39,090
sometimes called the spongy bone. see dogs

162
00:13:39,090 --> 00:13:44,199
aren't into sponges, but dogs do like bones

163
00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:47,934
Bones are apart of you, part of what keeps you

164
00:13:47,934 --> 00:13:59,380
kicking. and kicking, part of what keeps you

165
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:05,845
kicking. Nice job! I got a bone to pick with you. When you're born you have

166
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:09,284
about 350 bones. There not all bones,

167
00:14:09,284 --> 00:14:14,905
there's cartilage, that's what your ear is made of, and your ears.

168
00:14:14,905 --> 00:14:18,591
anyway cartilage fuses together to make bones

169
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:24,431
your skull starts as several different plates and ends up as 1 big bone.

170
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:26,807
So by the time your my age you only have

171
00:14:26,807 --> 00:14:30,019
200 bones. But you started out with 350, isn't

172
00:14:30,019 --> 00:14:32,375
that wild. hey listen i'm not pulling your

173
00:14:32,375 --> 00:14:39,641
femur. that's a bone gag. she loves those bones jokes, don't ya.

174
00:14:39,641 --> 00:14:46,539
oh please. to the bone mobile.

175
00:14:46,539 --> 00:14:49,402
[Moo] Hey, leave that cow alone. I'm bone

176
00:14:49,402 --> 00:14:55,033
boy! but i was going to milk it. then you

177
00:14:55,033 --> 00:15:01,478
know that milk is a strong source of calcium. I'm bone boy!!

178
00:15:01,478 --> 00:15:04,487
Ahh calcium. [tink tink on glass] Milk is a

179
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:08,042
good source of calcium and other minerals

180
00:15:08,042 --> 00:15:11,240
is what help make your bones so strong.

181
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,770
here's a t-bone from a t-bone steak and here's

182
00:15:14,770 --> 00:15:17,924
a piece of aircraft aluminum

183
00:15:17,924 --> 00:15:20,404
you hold them like this they have the same

184
00:15:20,404 --> 00:15:23,676
sizes and shape, which one is stronger

185
00:15:23,676 --> 00:15:26,077
take a look, we've mounted them both on this

186
00:15:26,077 --> 00:15:31,023
t-stand of science. t-bone, t-stand, haha let's

187
00:15:31,023 --> 00:15:33,692
put some heavy weights on them. this would

188
00:15:33,692 --> 00:15:39,133
be a couple of liters of heavy soft drink.

189
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:42,793
they both bend down about the same amount.

190
00:15:42,793 --> 00:15:45,336
that's not all there is to having bones

191
00:15:45,336 --> 00:15:50,942
you playing soccer and get hit in the ribs in the t-bone

192
00:15:50,942 --> 00:15:53,141
watch, we'll simulate getting hit in the bone

193
00:15:53,141 --> 00:15:58,485
with this pair of plyers, t-bone pretty strong

194
00:15:58,485 --> 00:16:05,341
aircraft aluminum not so strong. see it a

195
00:16:05,341 --> 00:16:11,021
good thing you're made of bone.

196
00:16:11,021 --> 00:16:15,072
a real good thing. milk a strong source of

197
00:16:15,072 --> 00:16:30,118
calcium. I'm bone boy.

198
00:16:30,118 --> 00:16:32,274
wrestling has a lot of do with balance and

199
00:16:32,274 --> 00:16:35,980
strength, speed, agility and moving joints the

200
00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:57,638
wrong way. It's a lot of fun!

201
00:16:57,638 --> 00:17:05,739
Now what? By doing this bending the knee joint the opposite way

202
00:17:05,739 --> 00:17:08,051
Elbows bent like this by putting more pressure

203
00:17:08,051 --> 00:17:10,490
on it the joint, it'll pull away from the

204
00:17:10,490 --> 00:17:14,852
shoulder and causes him to have pain.

205
00:17:14,852 --> 00:17:24,596
wrestling is painful, but it's fun!

206
00:17:24,596 --> 00:17:28,053
I win!

207
00:17:28,053 --> 00:17:30,509
Your back bone isn't 1 single bone, it's

208
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:34,685
actually 33 small bones stacked on top of each

209
00:17:34,685 --> 00:17:37,982
other. small bones are called vertebra

210
00:17:37,982 --> 00:17:40,178
and they're hollow they protect your spinal

211
00:17:40,178 --> 00:17:42,484
cord the bundle of nerves that run down

212
00:17:42,484 --> 00:17:45,300
your back. Now the spinal column supports

213
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:49,827
your whole body. a bunch of gliding joints

214
00:17:49,827 --> 00:17:53,310
they glide on each other because each vertebra

215
00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:57,609
separated by a soft squishy disk called cartilage.

216
00:17:57,609 --> 00:18:00,364
the same stuff you have in your nose.

217
00:18:00,364 --> 00:18:04,270
so your spinal column has a whole bunch of gliding joints. that's what makes you flexible.

218
00:18:04,270 --> 00:18:10,375
you can i have 33 vertebra a big snake like thi

219
00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:12,779
has over 400. thats why snakes are so

220
00:18:12,779 --> 00:18:15,582
flexible. you know Mr. Python that's a great

221
00:18:15,582 --> 00:18:19,654
looking backbone. A great looking set of back bones.

222
00:18:19,654 --> 00:18:20,528
it's really nice. Mr. Python, Mr. Phython, Mr. Pyyyython.

223
00:18:20,528 --> 00:18:40,580
They came from the spindarosa bone-anza!

224
00:18:40,580 --> 00:18:46,187
So little Joe I aint what you call fat am I?

225
00:18:46,187 --> 00:18:54,204
I'm just big boned, right? Yea, big boned, that's what you are.

226
00:18:54,204 --> 00:18:56,565
actually there really no such thing as big

227
00:18:56,565 --> 00:19:02,709
boned. most humans have the same bones in the same size.

228
00:19:02,709 --> 00:19:07,974
so my bones they are about the same size as his. buy guys like Hass

229
00:19:07,974 --> 00:19:13,175
you know how sensitive they can be. Yup, big

230
00:19:13,175 --> 00:19:19,272
boned that what I am. Yea, big boned

231
00:19:19,272 --> 00:19:22,252
Did you know that...muscle makes up 85% OF YOUR

232
00:19:22,252 --> 00:19:24,993
body weight. a human skeleton starts out as

233
00:19:24,993 --> 00:19:27,122
cartilage that hardens into bones over your

234
00:19:27,122 --> 00:19:53,787
entire lifetime. Bones is stronger inch to inch than skyscrappers. Now you know!

235
00:19:53,787 --> 00:19:58,830
our bones move in different ways because they're all connected by joints.

236
00:19:58,830 --> 00:20:30,963
they all work together so we can do things like this.

237
00:20:30,963 --> 00:20:34,740
Got bones in my body, or else i'd be like

238
00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:40,350
jelly. they help me stand up staight so i can

239
00:20:40,350 --> 00:20:47,609
perform ballet. yea, i got bones in my body

240
00:20:47,609 --> 00:20:51,692
working with my muscles too. they let me do my

241
00:20:51,692 --> 00:21:03,207
ballet and how about you. like a true burn brake i think bones bones are great, they

242
00:21:03,207 --> 00:21:16,734
work with muscles too they're in me and you! bones in my body!

243
00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:31,414
bones in my body! thanks for muscling in to

244
00:21:31,414 --> 00:21:36,305
see this show. it sent chills up my spine. if you

245
00:21:36,305 --> 00:21:42,868
excuse me I need to bone up for the next

246
00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:45,008
show. produced in association with the national

247
00:21:45,008 --> 00:21:53,566
science foundation. what? it's the fin isn't it.

248
00:21:53,566 --> 00:21:57,116
your bones are connected to your muscles and

249
00:21:57,116 --> 00:22:02,678
the 2 of them working together will allow you to ride your bike up this hill.

250
00:22:02,678 --> 00:22:06,864
see the stiff bones are connected to the soft

251
00:22:06,864 --> 00:22:12,652
muscles. Race ya! Fools, they laughed at

252
00:22:12,652 --> 00:22:18,156
me. i use bones and muscles to answer the

253
00:22:18,156 --> 00:22:32,310
phone, small world huh? Alien boy, love ya. that was my mom
