The series uses unembalmed human specimens to illustrate anatomical structures. [3] Intended for use by medical, dental and medical science students, the video teaching aid uses simple language and high quality images.

The authors claim: "Each minute of the finished product took twelve hours to produce: five in creating the script, five in making the shots, and two in post-production." [2]
