WEBVTT

00:00:00.575 --> 00:00:00.639
[applause] Ok, Ok, yea I have to take care of this now

00:00:00.639 --> 00:00:08.226
How are you doing Mr. Marrow, sorry I'm late

00:00:08.226 --> 00:00:10.005
there was a lot going on in the lab. Boy

00:00:10.005 --> 00:00:12.644
Mr. Marrow are you getting enough exercise for

00:00:12.644 --> 00:00:23.969
your muscles? It's like you're all bone. Mr. Marrow? Mr. Marrow? Mr. Marrow? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

00:00:23.969 --> 00:00:36.302
Bill Nye the Science Guy, Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy. Science rules!

00:00:36.302 --> 00:00:42.559
Bill Nye the science guy. Ernicia is a property of matter.

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:51.446
Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy. T minus 7 seconds

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

00:00:59.099 --> 00:01:04.580
stand on. bones and muscles available in fine animals everywhere

00:01:04.580 --> 00:01:07.771
do you realize to work these buttons and open

00:01:07.771 --> 00:01:12.476
this door I need every muscle and bone in my body

00:01:12.476 --> 00:01:14.841
that's because they're all working together

00:01:14.841 --> 00:01:22.181
whether your waving, walking, walking funny

00:01:22.181 --> 00:01:31.055
running, jumping, or flying your muscles and bones work together

00:01:31.055 --> 00:01:34.393
to make you move. see there's a skeleton in

00:01:34.393 --> 00:01:38.226
every one of us. we're all a bunch of bones

00:01:38.226 --> 00:01:41.932
this is our extension arm of science. This

00:01:41.932 --> 00:01:46.203
white pieces are like bones and these thin ropes are like

00:01:46.203 --> 00:01:49.919
muscles. now watch what happens when we make this rope

00:01:49.919 --> 00:01:53.970
this muscle shorter. the arm moves this way

00:01:53.970 --> 00:01:57.186
we make this rope shorter the arm moves that

00:01:57.186 --> 00:02:07.142
way. see hoo, haw hoo haw hoo haw hoo haw hoo haw

00:02:07.142 --> 00:02:11.560
no matter which way pushing or pulling the muscles are getting shorter

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.539
they are contracting. Now we have 200 bones on our body

00:02:16.539 --> 00:02:20.439
most of them are controlled with two sets of muscles

00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.753
that's what allows us to move and jump and

00:02:24.753 --> 00:02:30.554
hoo haw. Bones form the framework of our body

00:02:30.554 --> 00:02:36.258
ligaments help hold the bones together muscles move the bones

00:02:36.258 --> 00:02:39.723
tendons anchor the muscles to the bones.

00:02:39.723 --> 00:02:44.875
AHHHCHOO. you have tendons all over your body

00:02:44.875 --> 00:02:47.615
as you can see the tendons in the back of your

00:02:47.615 --> 00:02:50.443
hands. those tendons connect these muscles

00:02:50.443 --> 00:02:56.205
with these bones. Isn't that cool? Oh, I've

00:02:56.205 --> 00:03:02.914
gotta go. Whats the breakfast treat that

00:03:02.914 --> 00:03:06.144
sure to please from your pirital bone to your

00:03:06.144 --> 00:03:13.357
flanges. Bone-os, bone-os. Here's a very

00:03:13.357 --> 00:03:15.886
cool experiment that you can do to prove that

00:03:15.886 --> 00:03:18.338
bones have minerals. Next time you eat

00:03:18.338 --> 00:03:20.719
chicken or turkey save the bones. Take a leg bone

00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.411
it's the biggest bone and put it in a bowl of

00:03:23.411 --> 00:03:28.504
vinegar. We're wearing safety goggles becauase

00:03:28.504 --> 00:03:33.892
vinegar is an acid. Leave the bones in for a long

00:03:33.892 --> 00:03:37.388
time after 2 months. The acid dissolves all the

00:03:37.388 --> 00:03:40.640
mineral away from the bone. Without minerals

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:42.785
the bones get soft and easy to bend. You can

00:03:42.785 --> 00:03:52.602
even tie one in a knot. There. [applause]

00:03:52.602 --> 00:04:01.225
hammering looks simple doesn't it? You just

00:04:01.225 --> 00:04:03.723
move your arm, but watch the hammer needs your

00:04:03.723 --> 00:04:05.679
fingers and they are connected to your wrist

00:04:05.679 --> 00:04:07.472
and that's connect to your lower arm and that's

00:04:07.472 --> 00:04:09.593
connected to your upper arm and that's connected

00:04:09.593 --> 00:04:11.521
to your back and that's connected to your

00:04:11.521 --> 00:04:16.142
leg. Look you even need to move your toes to hammer. To even

00:04:16.142 --> 00:04:18.477
do a simply thing like this you need your whole

00:04:18.477 --> 00:04:22.144
body because your bones and muscles are connected.

00:04:22.144 --> 00:04:33.221
Oh, oh ouch ouch. [ominous music] what is that

00:04:33.221 --> 00:04:41.691
over there what is that thing? Ohhh It's the

00:04:41.691 --> 00:04:46.555
science guy! Scared you huh? See sharks don't have

00:04:46.555 --> 00:04:53.300
any bones they're all cartilage soft and rubbery. You have cartilage too in

00:04:53.300 --> 00:05:01.727
your ribs, your ears, and your nose. See how soft it is and rubbery.

00:05:01.727 --> 00:05:32.373
What? [music]

00:05:32.373 --> 00:05:36.305
Without bones, we couldn't hold ourselves up.

00:05:36.305 --> 00:05:43.891
We'd be floppy, like this pancake. We'd just collapse.

00:05:43.891 --> 00:05:47.979
On the other hand, if we're all stiff rigid bone, like this

00:05:47.979 --> 00:05:51.218
gingerbread guy then we couldn't move at all we need

00:05:51.218 --> 00:05:54.813
muscles and soft movable parts to get around

00:05:54.813 --> 00:06:00.501
muscles move our bones around. That's how it works, whether you're lifting something

00:06:00.501 --> 00:06:05.062
pushing, or jumping up like a spring, ha ha

00:06:05.062 --> 00:06:08.811
muscles and bones help us move around. coming this

00:06:08.811 --> 00:06:15.973
sunday its the muscle pull. smooth striped and caridac

00:06:15.973 --> 00:06:19.942
we've got it all! Muscles, muscles, and more muscles

00:06:19.942 --> 00:06:22.951
extending and contracting and moving like

00:06:22.951 --> 00:06:26.463
you've never seen before! So grab the kids

00:06:26.463 --> 00:06:29.805
grab the dog and grab the neighbors and grab your ace bandage

00:06:29.805 --> 00:06:32.757
and come on down to the anatomy arena!

00:06:32.757 --> 00:06:44.221
muscles move our bodies. without muscles we couldn't ride a bike.

00:06:44.221 --> 00:06:50.009
or play with dogs [Man: Uh, Bill] or do experiments in the lab.

00:06:50.009 --> 00:06:52.973
[Man: Bill] so our muscles help us move

00:06:52.973 --> 00:06:57.016
because they all work together [man: your not fooling anyone Bill.]

00:06:57.016 --> 00:07:00.354
So as i move the muscles in my arm my biceps

00:07:00.354 --> 00:07:05.109
i'm also moving all the other muscles in my body

00:07:05.109 --> 00:07:09.054
because they're all connected

00:07:09.054 --> 00:07:20.802
bones! [man: Bill, uh Bill] Muscles!!

00:07:20.802 --> 00:07:23.357
Those are very fine muscles you have. Of

00:07:23.357 --> 00:07:26.107
course you know these muscles are very important

00:07:26.107 --> 00:07:30.791
they give you the power to move about to do the work in the fields.

00:07:30.791 --> 00:07:33.020
now if we can look inside of you we can see

00:07:33.020 --> 00:07:35.564
the skeleton, the bones of your body. why do you

00:07:35.564 --> 00:07:43.611
have these bones? The best way is to take away the skeleton and see what happens.

00:07:43.611 --> 00:07:49.184
look out! down you go you see you really need that skeleton

00:07:49.184 --> 00:07:51.222
that's the framework that holds your body up.

00:07:51.222 --> 00:07:53.719
Did you know that teeth are the strongest

00:07:53.719 --> 00:07:56.028
bones in the skeleton. There are 3 bones

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.

00:08:01.691 --> 00:08:06.448
now you know!! Our bodies are like machines.

00:08:06.448 --> 00:08:09.246
or machines are a lot like our bodies. when

00:08:09.246 --> 00:08:13.388
a mechanism moves they have joints. like this

00:08:13.388 --> 00:08:16.813
door has a hinge. we have hinge joints in

00:08:16.813 --> 00:08:29.907
our fingers and our jaws. Ahhhhhh!

00:08:29.907 --> 00:08:32.451
[skeleton: Hello there Bill] our bones and muscles

00:08:32.451 --> 00:08:35.389
let us move our joints. Please consider the

00:08:35.389 --> 00:08:43.076
following.

00:08:43.076 --> 00:08:46.442
So in our hand, we have hinge joints. Like the

00:08:46.442 --> 00:08:52.084
hinges on a gate. Also in our hands we have a

00:08:52.084 --> 00:08:54.440
special joint called the saddle joint, in our

00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.043
thumb. It allows our thumb to go this way

00:08:58.043 --> 00:09:03.753
or this way. 2 directions 1 joint. cool!

00:09:03.753 --> 00:09:08.697
also in our body we'll find ball socket joints

00:09:08.697 --> 00:09:13.499
the kind we see in a tv. Ball and socket joints

00:09:13.499 --> 00:09:17.860
in our body are in our hips. look at our

00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:24.079
hips move in all different ways.

00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:32.520
In our backs, we have swervy joints a whole bunch of them. Our backs slide

00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:35.529
theres in joints in our body that don't move at all.

00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:41.959
fixed joints. There's fixed joints in your skull, but they don't move. all the

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:44.410
different joints in our body let our bodies move

00:09:44.410 --> 00:09:47.305
all different ways. Thanks for joining me

00:09:47.305 --> 00:10:46.031
I mean joint-ing me on consider the following.

00:10:46.031 --> 00:10:48.759
introducing a collection of music so spine

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.409
tingling it can be brought to you only by

00:10:51.409 --> 00:10:56.779
Deutsch gramabone. Presenting bonely is the night.

00:10:56.779 --> 00:11:04.678
who can forget songs like, Tiba tiba tibula, how i love my tibula.

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!

00:11:14.197 --> 00:11:17.331
Yo cranium, clavicle, and sternum you've got

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

00:11:22.203 --> 00:11:26.909
you realize what you're doing, don't you?

00:11:26.909 --> 00:11:29.914
Yea, I'm cracking my knuckles in your face.

00:11:29.914 --> 00:11:32.518
Actually you're pulling your bones apart and letting air

00:11:32.518 --> 00:11:38.611
bubbles between your joints. I am?

00:11:38.611 --> 00:11:41.596
I'm Tim Eng I work for Nike sport research

00:11:41.596 --> 00:11:43.395
lab and we have fun here and try to find

00:11:43.395 --> 00:11:46.424
the science behind the shoes.

00:11:46.424 --> 00:11:48.298
Big part of my job is learning how to distribute

00:11:48.298 --> 00:11:50.766
the pressure beneath the foot to minimize the

00:11:50.766 --> 00:11:55.363
impact and shock up into the bones and muscles

00:11:55.363 --> 00:11:57.361
with the bare foot we can see how much pressure

00:11:57.361 --> 00:11:59.198
is beneath the heel, the ball of the foot and

00:11:59.198 --> 00:12:01.566
the big toe. with a well design shoe we can

00:12:01.566 --> 00:12:03.735
distribute the pressure over the foot so that

00:12:03.735 --> 00:12:05.642
we can absorb some of the shock that goes

00:12:05.642 --> 00:12:09.182
through the bones and muscles of the legs.

00:12:09.182 --> 00:12:10.981
with the shoe we can see the high pressure

00:12:10.981 --> 00:12:13.755
beneath the heel are gone and force of pressure

00:12:13.755 --> 00:12:17.796
is distributed evenly. good shoes fewer

00:12:17.796 --> 00:12:25.111
injuries!

00:12:25.111 --> 00:12:28.658
Bile Nye!!! it's easier to smile than it is

00:12:28.658 --> 00:12:30.672
to frown. That's because you only need

00:12:30.672 --> 00:12:35.352
17 muscles in your face to smile, but it takes

00:12:35.352 --> 00:12:43.700
43 muscles to frown. Ouch! that was my foot!

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!

00:12:56.016 --> 00:12:59.195
Did you know that...a sparrow has more bones in it's neck

00:12:59.195 --> 00:13:01.943
than a giraffe does. The largest bone ever

00:13:01.943 --> 00:13:05.928
found was the 7 ft long brachiosaurus arm bone.

00:13:05.928 --> 00:13:09.114
Birds have hollow bones, which are light, so they can fly.

00:13:09.114 --> 00:13:11.456
Now you know!! ladies and gentlemen, I

00:13:11.456 --> 00:13:16.530
present the bone. Although bones come in all different shapes and sizes, they

00:13:16.530 --> 00:13:20.200
are basically the same 3 things. On the outside

00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.707
is a hard membrane called the periosteum,

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.

00:13:30.948 --> 00:13:34.667
then on the inside the soft cancellous bone

00:13:34.667 --> 00:13:39.090
sometimes called the spongy bone. see dogs

00:13:39.090 --> 00:13:44.199
aren't into sponges, but dogs do like bones

00:13:44.199 --> 00:13:47.934
Bones are apart of you, part of what keeps you

00:13:47.934 --> 00:13:59.380
kicking. and kicking, part of what keeps you

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

00:14:05.845 --> 00:14:09.284
about 350 bones. There not all bones,

00:14:09.284 --> 00:14:14.905
there's cartilage, that's what your ear is made of, and your ears.

00:14:14.905 --> 00:14:18.591
anyway cartilage fuses together to make bones

00:14:18.591 --> 00:14:24.431
your skull starts as several different plates and ends up as 1 big bone.

00:14:24.431 --> 00:14:26.807
So by the time your my age you only have

00:14:26.807 --> 00:14:30.019
200 bones. But you started out with 350, isn't

00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:32.375
that wild. hey listen i'm not pulling your

00:14:32.375 --> 00:14:39.641
femur. that's a bone gag. she loves those bones jokes, don't ya.

00:14:39.641 --> 00:14:46.539
oh please. to the bone mobile.

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:49.402
[Moo] Hey, leave that cow alone. I'm bone

00:14:49.402 --> 00:14:55.033
boy! but i was going to milk it. then you

00:14:55.033 --> 00:15:01.478
know that milk is a strong source of calcium. I'm bone boy!!

00:15:01.478 --> 00:15:04.487
Ahh calcium. [tink tink on glass] Milk is a

00:15:04.487 --> 00:15:08.042
good source of calcium and other minerals

00:15:08.042 --> 00:15:11.240
is what help make your bones so strong.

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.770
here's a t-bone from a t-bone steak and here's

00:15:14.770 --> 00:15:17.924
a piece of aircraft aluminum

00:15:17.924 --> 00:15:20.404
you hold them like this they have the same

00:15:20.404 --> 00:15:23.676
sizes and shape, which one is stronger

00:15:23.676 --> 00:15:26.077
take a look, we've mounted them both on this

00:15:26.077 --> 00:15:31.023
t-stand of science. t-bone, t-stand, haha let's

00:15:31.023 --> 00:15:33.692
put some heavy weights on them. this would

00:15:33.692 --> 00:15:39.133
be a couple of liters of heavy soft drink.

00:15:39.133 --> 00:15:42.793
they both bend down about the same amount.

00:15:42.793 --> 00:15:45.336
that's not all there is to having bones

00:15:45.336 --> 00:15:50.942
you playing soccer and get hit in the ribs in the t-bone

00:15:50.942 --> 00:15:53.141
watch, we'll simulate getting hit in the bone

00:15:53.141 --> 00:15:58.485
with this pair of plyers, t-bone pretty strong

00:15:58.485 --> 00:16:05.341
aircraft aluminum not so strong. see it a

00:16:05.341 --> 00:16:11.021
good thing you're made of bone.

00:16:11.021 --> 00:16:15.072
a real good thing. milk a strong source of

00:16:15.072 --> 00:16:30.118
calcium. I'm bone boy.

00:16:30.118 --> 00:16:32.274
wrestling has a lot of do with balance and

00:16:32.274 --> 00:16:35.980
strength, speed, agility and moving joints the

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:57.638
wrong way. It's a lot of fun!

00:16:57.638 --> 00:17:05.739
Now what? By doing this bending the knee joint the opposite way

00:17:05.739 --> 00:17:08.051
Elbows bent like this by putting more pressure

00:17:08.051 --> 00:17:10.490
on it the joint, it'll pull away from the

00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:14.852
shoulder and causes him to have pain.

00:17:14.852 --> 00:17:24.596
wrestling is painful, but it's fun!

00:17:24.596 --> 00:17:28.053
I win!

00:17:28.053 --> 00:17:30.509
Your back bone isn't 1 single bone, it's

00:17:30.509 --> 00:17:34.685
actually 33 small bones stacked on top of each

00:17:34.685 --> 00:17:37.982
other. small bones are called vertebra

00:17:37.982 --> 00:17:40.178
and they're hollow they protect your spinal

00:17:40.178 --> 00:17:42.484
cord the bundle of nerves that run down

00:17:42.484 --> 00:17:45.300
your back. Now the spinal column supports

00:17:45.300 --> 00:17:49.827
your whole body. a bunch of gliding joints

00:17:49.827 --> 00:17:53.310
they glide on each other because each vertebra

00:17:53.310 --> 00:17:57.609
separated by a soft squishy disk called cartilage.

00:17:57.609 --> 00:18:00.364
the same stuff you have in your nose.

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.

00:18:04.270 --> 00:18:10.375
you can i have 33 vertebra a big snake like thi

00:18:10.375 --> 00:18:12.779
has over 400. thats why snakes are so

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:15.582
flexible. you know Mr. Python that's a great

00:18:15.582 --> 00:18:19.654
looking backbone. A great looking set of back bones.

00:18:19.654 --> 00:18:20.528
it's really nice. Mr. Python, Mr. Phython, Mr. Pyyyython.

00:18:20.528 --> 00:18:40.580
They came from the spindarosa bone-anza!

00:18:40.580 --> 00:18:46.187
So little Joe I aint what you call fat am I?

00:18:46.187 --> 00:18:54.204
I'm just big boned, right? Yea, big boned, that's what you are.

00:18:54.204 --> 00:18:56.565
actually there really no such thing as big

00:18:56.565 --> 00:19:02.709
boned. most humans have the same bones in the same size.

00:19:02.709 --> 00:19:07.974
so my bones they are about the same size as his. buy guys like Hass

00:19:07.974 --> 00:19:13.175
you know how sensitive they can be. Yup, big

00:19:13.175 --> 00:19:19.272
boned that what I am. Yea, big boned

00:19:19.272 --> 00:19:22.252
Did you know that...muscle makes up 85% OF YOUR

00:19:22.252 --> 00:19:24.993
body weight. a human skeleton starts out as

00:19:24.993 --> 00:19:27.122
cartilage that hardens into bones over your

00:19:27.122 --> 00:19:53.787
entire lifetime. Bones is stronger inch to inch than skyscrappers. Now you know!

00:19:53.787 --> 00:19:58.830
our bones move in different ways because they're all connected by joints.

00:19:58.830 --> 00:20:30.963
they all work together so we can do things like this.

00:20:30.963 --> 00:20:34.740
Got bones in my body, or else i'd be like

00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:40.350
jelly. they help me stand up staight so i can

00:20:40.350 --> 00:20:47.609
perform ballet. yea, i got bones in my body

00:20:47.609 --> 00:20:51.692
working with my muscles too. they let me do my

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

00:21:03.207 --> 00:21:16.734
work with muscles too they're in me and you! bones in my body!

00:21:16.734 --> 00:21:31.414
bones in my body! thanks for muscling in to

00:21:31.414 --> 00:21:36.305
see this show. it sent chills up my spine. if you

00:21:36.305 --> 00:21:42.868
excuse me I need to bone up for the next

00:21:42.868 --> 00:21:45.008
show. produced in association with the national

00:21:45.008 --> 00:21:53.566
science foundation. what? it's the fin isn't it.

00:21:53.566 --> 00:21:57.116
your bones are connected to your muscles and

00:21:57.116 --> 00:22:02.678
the 2 of them working together will allow you to ride your bike up this hill.

00:22:02.678 --> 00:22:06.864
see the stiff bones are connected to the soft

00:22:06.864 --> 00:22:12.652
muscles. Race ya! Fools, they laughed at

00:22:12.652 --> 00:22:18.156
me. i use bones and muscles to answer the

00:22:18.156 --> 00:22:32.310
phone, small world huh? Alien boy, love ya. that was my mom
