"Bloodmobile Video Theater" plays an original cartoon with music, created by They Might Be Giants especially for this exhibit, displaying how blood transports chemical messages, nutrients, and oxygen through the body.
  • In reality, a bloodmobile is a (macroscopic) vehicle that holds all the equipment to carry out blood donations, and is usually brought to public places like churches or schools.
