Description
Making waves -- A series of short sequences illustrating waves, oscillations and rhythms occuring in living organisms -- Sequence 1-4 : Molecules - spiral calcium waves in xenopus oocytes -- Sequen...ce 5 : Cells - slime mould oscillations -- Sequence 6 : Populations - ant colonies -- A heartbeat from chaos -- a 25 minute documentary about the rythmic actions of the vertebrate heart and how these rhythms arise through efficient intercellular communication. The programme looks at new research into electrical activity and fluid flow through the heart, and reveals that for a healthy person the rhythms of these crucial heart actions lie just this side of chaos.
