| This Science Screen Report describes the anatomy and functions of facial features, and the evolutionary development of the human face. It explains how the mouth and nose work together to identify food, the process of chewing and swallowing, and the varying functions of the taste buds, saliva, teeth, tongue, and jaws. The video also discusses how muscles in the face convey expressions and emotions, how humans and computers recognize faces and expressions, and how ideas of attractiveness can be linked to facial symmetry. This is an excellent overview combining principles of anatomy, zoology, anthropology, and psychology. A viewable/printable teacher’s guide is available at www.cambridgeeducational.com. |
