The multimedia lectures feature a virtual instructor, Dr. Bodyworks. She explains important features of the organs selected as pretend holographic images appear next to her. The three dimensional images rotate and change to correspond with her lecture. One lecture on the circulatory system has pretend holographic images of the different kinds of blood vessels, components of blood, and internal and external views of the heart. Dr. BodyWorks explains the differences between the arteries, veins and capillaries as their image is virtually projected in a beam of light next to her.
