In Smell Receptors, the Hidden Defenders of Your Body, host Harith Iskander explains how our bodies have smell receptors not just in the nose but in surprising places like the kidneys and airways. These receptors help defend us against harmful substances and even assist with healing, especially in the lungs. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
In A Polar Bear Family’s Struggle, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes how a mother polar bear protects and cares for her cubs on a journey through the icy sea and onto dry land. Food is scarce, but with her supersensitive nose, she picks up the scent of a bowhead whale carcass, a rare find with enough meat to feed many bears. While the cubs eat their meal, danger looms as male polar bears and other hungry bears gather at the site. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
