Visitors meet Tess, a 50 foot, partially reclining,
anatomically correct transparent test dummy
that was developed to help demonstrate
homeostasis (how the organs work together to
keep the body in balance). Animatronics,
animation and special effects bring the Body
Works show to life as Tess and Walt, her
cartoon sidekick, explore how the body’s organs
work together to keep everything in balance
during a soccer game.
