00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,640
Hello.

2
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,920
In this video, we're
going to have a look at the Merge Cube.

3
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:29,520
And we're going to look at its use
of various different images

4
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,760
that it can portray
of the organ systems of the body

5
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,000
so we can have a look in
into intricate detail of various systems

6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,800
and see how we can use that
to help inform our students and

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,080
to help their learning and understanding
of the body and how it works.

8
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,600
So for this to work,
obviously the member of staff

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,160
needs the app on the phone
and then can use the cube.

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,520
To bring up images and then the students
can then look at those images.

11
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,000
So if we look at the human anatomy,
let's have a look for a start at, say,

12
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,560
the urinary system.

13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440
So on here we can see the urinary system.

14
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,120
We can see the brain in cross-section,
we can see the different lobes

15
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:12,480
of the brain.

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,680
We've got the frontal lobe.

17
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Which is the brownish colored one,

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,040
the front, we've got the parietal lobe,
which is the bluish purple one.

19
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:24,280
The temporal lobe is the green one.

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,400
And then at the back is the occipital
lobe, which is the red colored one.

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,960
And each one controls different parts
of the brain and how the body functions.

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,520
If we turn it round.

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,960
We can now see an image of the.

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Urinary system, we've got the main artery,

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,200
which is colored red, which is the aorta.

26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,880
And the main vein, the vena cava,
which is the blue colored large tube

27
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,520
in the middle of the image, either
side of that you've got the two kidneys

28
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440
and you've got branches
coming off the aorta.

29
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,960
Going into
the kidneys, which are the renal arteries,

30
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,440
branches coming back from the kidneys
into the vena cava,

31
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,040
which is the renal veins

32
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,120
at the bottom of the image,
we have the bladder.

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,280
And you can see the two white tubes
of the two ureters,

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,120
which are taking the urine
from the kidneys, draining them down

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,640
into the bladder

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,240
on top of the kidneys.

37
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160
You can see two little.

38
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Structures,
one sitting on top of each kidney,

39
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,880
and they're the adrenal glands,
so they're responsible for adding hormones

40
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,200
to the body's system and so on.

41
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,520
Now, so we're moving on to the lungs.

42
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,120
We can see an image of the lung
with the trachea.

43
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,920
The Bronchi.

44
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,440
The Bronchiols
entering into the two lungs.

45
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,800
if we turn it over, you can see
the different lobes of the lungs.

46
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,600
You can see the lobe if I turn it
the right way.

47
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,960
We can see the lobe on the right side of
the body

48
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,040
has three lobes and the lung on the left
side has only two lobes.

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,880
And that's because on the left side,
the heart is also in the thorax.

50
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,480
So there needs to be a bit of space
for the heart so that only two lobes

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,240
on the left hand side of the. Lungs.

52
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,760
So here's an image of the main
circulatory system

53
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,800
we can see right in the middle,
we've got the heart

54
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,200
and we've got all the main arteries
and veins.

55
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,400
The arteries are the red colored.

56
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:32,600
Tubes.

57
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600
They're the ones taking
the oxygenated blood around the body.

58
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,200
The blue colored tubes are the veins,
which are bringing the de oxygenated blood

59
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,320
back from around the body
and back into the heart

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,000
to be pushed to the lungs
to pick up some fresh oxygen.

61
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,440
So these images, when we're using them,
we've got a nice image here

62
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,560
of a section through the skin, so students
would be able to get a real close up

63
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,280
look of a particular image
if we bring it really close.

64
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,040
what we can see here

65
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,960
is the intricate structures of the skin.

66
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,520
So we've got a nice layer at the top.

67
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,680
The thin layer of epidermis, that's

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,320
the epidermal cells that form the outer,
covering the waterproof layer.

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,480
When students look really closely,
you can see that has no blood supply.

70
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,520
So what we can tell is that that tissue
on the outer surface of the skin

71
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,560
is actually dead tissue,
and that's the stuff that wears away

72
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,080
and makes up most of the dust that we find
in our houses and that sort of thing.

73
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,400
Underneath that, we can see a nice, thick

74
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,000
layer of healthy pink
colored tissue with a good blood supply.

75
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240
And in there,
we can see things like our hair follicles.

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,360
So we got a nice black strand of a hair
follicle and we've got a curly.

77
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,360
Number of tubes at the bottom,

78
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,960
which we can see
are sweat glands in our sebaceous glands,

79
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,440
and they're providing the oils
and the fluids that land

80
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,320
on the surface of our skin and help us
to regulate our body temperature.

81
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,560
So all these things are able
to be image by the students,

82
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,040
and they can see how vairied structures

83
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,960
within the skin connect together
and how the system actually works.
