The Ear

The first episode of the program "The Wonderful Machine" is dedicated to the ear. The auricle helps to hear well and to locate noises, explains Piero Angela: traveling virtually inside the ear, this organ is investigated, whose characteristics are illustrated, from the ear canal to the eardrum, from the cochlea to the labyrinth.

The Eye

From the cornea to the lens up to the retina: discovering the eye, Piero Angela begins his exciting journey with the eyelids, "shutters", he says, with different functions such as "protecting the eye, isolating the brain from light and thus promoting sleep , but also constantly cleaning the cornea thanks to rapid movements".
