The film begins with a statement that the abandonment of prudery in recent years has made possible the teaching of human reproduction to "the adolescent and mature."

The function of the umbilical cord is explained.

Artist-animator-medical illustrator Frank Armitage combines footage from his professional medical animations with historical images to provide a lecture about the history of anatomical illustration, as well as the present-day (circa 1970) uses of anatomical animation in medical film. Why the film was made or where it was presented is unknown: no title or credits appear. Armitage had then recently worked on the set-design for the film Fantastic Voyage as well as on animation for surgical instruction films and Walt Disney studios.

Presents symbols used in construction of the human pedigree. Illustrates autosomal dominal inheritance using pedigrees of brachydactyly and achondroplastic dwarfism. Pedigrees of albinism, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, and Morquio syndrome illustrate autosomal recessive inheritance. X-linked hemophilia and Vitamin D-resistant rickets pedigrees, along with pedigrees of various kinds of mating, show the consequences of X-linked inheritance to male and female offspring.

Produced as part of RKO's This is America series (1942-1951), this film uses dramatic reenactment in telling the story of a young woman who becomes a nurse. The film opens with an account of the post-Second World War shortage of nursing staff. This is a preamble to a story of nurse training, exemplified by Betty Burns, one of the 43,000 women who enter nursing school that year. The film follows Betty from her first day at nursing school through her training in chemistry, anatomy, microbiology, nutrition, diet therapy, and pharmacy.

This training video employs a particular method to encourage nurse trainees to reflect on their responses to how patients and co-workers present themselves, verbally, physically, and emotionally. Based on psychologist Norman Kagan’s affect-stimulus technique, the camera takes the perspective of a trainee nurse who is presented with a series of different people who speak directly to the camera. The viewer is put into the situation of the trainee nurse, and is invited to respond to and reflect upon the different, sometimes difficult, interpersonal situations he or she encounters.

The case of Joseph Meister, a boy attacked by a rabid dog and treated with a Pasteur vaccine never before tried, is re-enacted.

The purpose of this motion picture is to alert surgeons to postoperative velopharyngeal-incompetence complications in adenotonsillectomy. The film was produced at the request of ear, nose, and throat specialists involved in court consultations and lawsuits brought after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedures produced excessive post-operative hypernasal speech. While produced specifically for ENT specialists, the film will be of interest to oral surgeons, orthodontists, prosthodontists, and speech pathologists.

The purpose of this presentation is to describe and demonstrate the technique for achieving the maximum roentgenographic detail in mammography. This objective is achieved with the aid of a middle-aged female clinical subject, a female mammography technician, x-rays, photographs and graphs. The program stresses the importance of obtaining radiographic detail in the early detection of breast cancer. In this presentation statistics regarding the incidence of breast cancer in the United States are presented first.
