Death in Hours

This episode explores the role and significance of the circulatory system.

Death in Hours

Dr von Hagens examines the effects bleeding can have on the human body and how ultimately it can cause death. Using cross-sections of donated human cadavers, the hosts demonstrate what happens to the body when stabbed in different places.

They also show the effects of internal bleeding and demonstrate how it can impact on different parts of the body, such as causing a build-up of pressure around the heart.
