    This document provides an overview of human development from birth through old age as seen from inside the body. It describes how a fetus develops over 40 weeks in the womb, with tiny organs and over 100 trillion cells working together. Each cell contains DNA that provides unique instructions for growth and function. When born, the newborn faces the challenge of breathing for the first time and their heart and lungs kick into survival mode. In the first hour after birth, all organs must adapt to life outside the womb, a risky transition. As time passes, more complex systems develop to regulate temperature and digestion.

    INSIDE THE LIVING BODY (TRANSCRIPT)

    A Documentary by the National Geography

    The incredible journey of life from birth, infancy, childhood, puberty,adulthood and
    the slow maturity to old age. . . This is the story of our lives froma unique
    perspective deep inside our bodies.A fetus develops in the womb. It is an
    astonishing 40-week journey froma single cell to a baby ready to be born. Its body
    is a miracle of microscopic
    design… tiny perfectly formed organs… each made up of perfectly functioning
    cells. These cells are the building blocks of our bodies. They make up what we
    are. A hundred thousand billion cells… all working in harmony.
     Inside every cell is th
    e same extraordinary engine… the machine that tells
    each cell how to grow and what functions to perform. DNA is un ique to
    everyperson. A chemical blueprint of instructions that creates each new life.
    This baby is ready to enter the world… a new born pe
    rson whose journeyis about to begin. The journey starts with a challenge
    –
    breathe or die. These lungs never breathed before, they’re still full of amniotic fluid
    that protected
    them for 9 long months. The new born is in danger of drowning.Then body kicks
    into survival mode. The adrenal gland right above thekidneys sends adrenalin
    surging around the body. It shocks the lungs into life.Muscles we need to breathe
    suddenly start to spas
    m… and we take our first
    breath. It is the most important breath of ou
    r life… the first of 700 million. Our
    lungs will pump air every single second as long as we live. Air rushes down
    thewindpipe down thousands of branching tubes and into nearly 30 million tiny
    airsacs (the alveoli). These air sacs pour oxygen into our blood and pump out
    thecarbon dioxide we exhale every breath.At the moment of birth, everything
    changes. The physical link betweenmother and baby is broken for the first time.
    The first hour brings a rapid
    change. All the baby’s organs have to adapt to li
    fe outside the womb. It is achallenging and risky time. At this age, the heart is no
    bigger than a walnut.
    The heart is normally working… pumping blood through thousands of miles of 
    blood vessels.Other systems are also gearing up. The digestive tract is ready to
    clearitself out to make room for its first meal. The bowels are full of
    digestiveamniotic fluid and dead cells
    –
    a sticky green-black tar-like material calledmeconium.As time passes, more
    sophisticated systems start to kick in. Our nextchallenge is the cold. It was a
    hundred degrees in the womb. Here at home, 65-degree room temperature is a
    shock to the system. The area that controlstemperature is deep within the base of
    our brains. It is called hypothalamus
