My son passed away in a car accident his senior year of high school and I was able to donate him to the anatomy program at the university he was enrolled in for the following fall. It was a blessing in the most difficult time in my life to know that he was still making a difference in this world for the time they had him. They had a Legacy of Life ceremony to thank the families of donors about a year later and many students and instructors approached me to tell me what an impact his donation had on them. I'll be handing over my carcass as well, when the time comes.
Thank you for your generous act 💕💕 even at the trying moment...God bless
Your son is watching you from above🕊
i hope he gave you consent before he died...
Thank you for your wonderful act. Sorry to hear of your loss ❤
god bless you
Those selfless beautiful souls who have donated their bodies for science... Thank you.. And you are the unsung heroes
I'm sure they appreciate your kind words
The guys forehead thanks you
Bet you're there heros 😊
Think of Ambroise Paré, Royal physician of the French court, who eventhough he was a Huguenot, dissected his co-religionary citizens after the St.Bartholomew massacre. All for medical science & humanity.
My mother donated her body. She had multiple heart problems and wanted med students to study her heart and maybe be able to develop other treatments for others with similar heart problems.
I at the age of 15 I watched my grandma pass away. Fully flat line. The nurse's and doctors came in and cleaned up her vomit and we were all very emotional. She 8 minutes later just snapped back to life. With a huge deep breath and heart monitor started showing signs of life again. She later lived for a handful of months latter on. It was definitely a life altering moment. She was in her late 80s. It was very trippy. Well anyways, love you Grandma Bert ❤️
I’m 13 and I want to do medical research when I grow up, specifically in the brain, relating to incurable disorders and diseases. I recently felt like I was losing my passion and had trouble choosing my subjects for CXC.This channel has reminded me of how much I loveeee research and learning new things. Thanks so much. Also Happy New Year and Happy Sabbath for those who celebrate
💜 BLESS YOUR HEART & BEST WISHES FOR ALL OF YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS! SO AMAZING, THAT AT YOUR AGE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN LIFE. I TRULY WISH YOU ALL THE BEST 😊🙏💜
🙏🏻
As someone who was treated for epilepsy, you have my respect. Both my grandmas were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s; one died before I was even a thought, and the other is rapidly going downhill. It is heartbreaking to watch. The brain is a complex organ, and I hope you continue with that drive because I’m sure it is not an easy path to follow.
Wherever your passion leads you (and I hope it is in medical research because we need brilliance in that field), your 5 sentences here demonstrate to me an extraordinary young women with insight, self reflection and care for others. It may be a big call based on one CZcams post, but I have every confidence that whatever road you take, you will excel! I wish you a happy, productive and insanely satisfying long life.
@@mattbarneveld815 thank you so much❤️have a great year & stay safe!
My grandfather DID sit up in a morgue, and indeed walked out leaving his shroud behind on the stone slab. Fortunately he was still dressed and he walked home, covered in blood and scared grandma. He kept his toe tag. This was in the 1930s and he was run over by a fire truck pulled by horses. He was pronounced dead of a head wound, and put in city morgue in Toronto, Canada. He lived till age 96.
Out of curiosity, how old was he when he was sent to the morgue the first time and what got him there?
@Chelle Bright wow!
😮
Oh my gosh! What a story!
@@baranorak4080 I explained what happened in my post and he was about 27. He had served in WW-1 at age 17 x2yrs. Moved to Canada with my grandmother at 21yrs of age.
As a former Forensic Pathologist and medical examiner, I would get asked these things from friends and family all the time!! You guys are rock stars ✨⭐
Thank you!
@@theanatomylab , you're very welcome!! Keep those awesome lessons coming!! ☺️
@@kate-cq3eh lots of school. Medical school and added degrees in forensics and biology. I did both. Went to crime scenes and did autopsies. Fascinating field. Never the same case twice. Go for it! Have a strong knowledge in science and all the fields involved. Pathology, toxicology, chemistry, pshsyology. It's no cake walk but very rewarding! You got this. Do well on your MCAT score and you'll be fine. It was 12 years of school and residency. Good luck!! ☺️🙏
So if I were to donate my body to science, could I request that it be used to study a rare diagnosed condition that medical science knows very little about? Because I would do it if it could save someone else from it.
@@leesashriber5097 wow you must be paid
I never wanted to donate my body, but this channel has actually caused me to rethink that decision. I never enjoyed science, but this is fascinating. Thank you!!
Science gets addictive lol
💜 I HAVE MULTIPLE HEALTH ISSUES. I'M DONATING MY BODY TO SCIENCE IN THE HOPES THAT SOMEONE MAY LEARN TO CURE ONE OR MANY OF MY CHRONIC DISEASE. I'M UNABLE TO DONATE MY ORGANS, SO I PRAY THIS WILL HELP SOMEONE SOMEDAY. THAT IS MY WISH 😊🕉️🙏💜💜💜
I can't donate my body due to religion issues so I went to the next option, which is organs donation
@@katymcginn4644 I'm the exact opposite case from you.. so yeah, I'm opted to donate my organs after I die
@@hafizatulsufiahyaacob5186 💜 BLESS YOUR HEART, YOU'RE STILL DOING A VERY BEAUTIFUL THING TO HELP OTHERS 💜 MY WISH WAS TO ALWAYS DONATE MY ORGANS, SO I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE ABLE. YOU'RE SUCH A GIVING SOUL. THINK OF ALL THE LIVES YOU ARE GOING TO SAVE ☺️ YOU ARE SO AMAZING, STAY BLESSED 😊🕉️💜💜💜
My dad (age 99) wanted to die at home when he was told he had terminal cancer. He absolutely refused using a catheter so we had to assist him to the bathroom. At one point it was like he had rigor mortis; he couldn't bend any of his arms or legs & it took 4 of us to move him! Another time he was like a wet noodle. Our bodies are complicated and amazing. I learned so much while caring for him during this time.
Watching this out of curiosity at midnight, was already scared of looking at the body parts, and the jumpscare almost gave me a heart attack 😮💨
💤
😑💤💤
there's a jumpscare? thanks for the warning. it probably won't work, but thanks anyway
What jump scare
I literally was reading your comment the moment he jumped😂
It's all fun and game until a body stand up
😂
doesnt it?
A
That’s what the ankle bell is for
LOL... 😂😂😂
4:53 gave me a mini heart attack 😳, but it was fun learning through your videos, and thnks to all those souls who selflessly gave their precious bodies to science ♥
i fckn broked my god damn desk my good :(
😂
Mee too bro but even after reading ur comment.
My body took a screenshot. I had to sit up a bit after clicking on the time stamp on your comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I purposely watched this first. It was hilarious but due to my preparedness.
As a college student in 1974, I did an ethnography of enucleators at an eye bank. The med student I joined was a friend of mine. We had to enucleate the eyes ASAP post-mortem. In those days, the hospitals had orderlies and a morgue. While enucleating eyes, other recently deceased bodies would moan, burp, fart and move ever so slightly. The orderly who escorted us into the morgue told us not to mind the deceased. He said they don't know they're dead yet. If they get rambunctious, remind them that they're dead and it's time to move on to the next world. Nevertheless, it was unnerving for two young guys to listen to the sounds of supposedly silent dead people.
What on earth is an eye bank, and what do they do with dead eyes?
@@j7ndominica051 In the 1970s, eyes were removed from fresh cadavers for the purposes of research mostly, but also for cornea transplants. Beyond that, I have no idea what they were used for. Today, I am sure things are much more advanced. The eye bank was merely the clinic responsible for the collection, storage and shipment of eyes or corneas to whichever medical facility or institution that required them.
God in heaven, I'm sure I'd have dropped dead myself if a corpse was twitching near me. Respect to all of you who work with cadavers to further our knowledge of disease and indeed any cause of death.
And you had a pass from the draft in what manner?
Have you ever left Academia?
@@GSPDUKE I was in ROTC. After the Vietnam war was clearly over, I quit ROTC. Later, I quit college. I entered and graduated a trade school. The classes were accredited, but the school could not grant degrees because it did not offer the soft courses such as literature, history, social studies, etc. I was an officer in the US Merchant Marine for almost 40 years. I've travelled all over the world. Visiting my wife's offices, I can guarantee you that I could not do it.
My mom suddenly and unexpectedly passed away 2 weeks ago from cardiac arrest. It has been the hardest thing in my life I have ever had to go through. She was only 68 and had been married to my dad for 50 years. Her wishes were to be donated to science, since she was born would double clubbed feet, she had hopes that maybe she would be of some help if any when it came to her feet. She lived with pain her whole life, but never complained until arthritis started to set in, which at times made it difficult for her to even leave the house. I want to thank you, and this channel. Although I am grieving and my heart is broken, your videos have actually helped me know that her body donation to science was a great choice. My dad also has planned to donate his body. I am so sorry for anyone who has ever lost someone they have loved. I dont even know how I will survive this heart break.
God bless you and your family.
So very sorry for your loss. My son died 4 years ago and I don’t know how I have survived. I did get cancer, which was a freak thing, but they took a lung out and here I am, still freaking alive. I was a nurse for 35 years so I know a lot of this but find it interesting. Strangely though I’m having trouble watching this particular one. I watch all kinds of stuff on CZcams now about death. I like Ask a Mortician a lot, but as much as I enjoy Caitlin’s channel I couldn’t watch the one on cremation,because we had our son cremated. You will never “get over” your loss, and anyone who says you will or should is full of it. I found my son dead and as a nurse it gutted me to know he was dead with no hope of being resuscitated. I just fell on the floor next to him screaming the most primal, blood curdling screams I’ve ever heard. Peace be with you.
🙏🏽
Let me guess, she was vaccinated
@@Darbysmommy I am so sorry for your loss. In the 1950's my father lost a cousin to a ruptured aortic aneurysm. When he went to his wake, he said his cousin's widow let out a cry that sounded like an animal.
Can we please appreciate the oddly satisfying white board art.
Most beautiful rendition of a sarcomere I have ever seen.
I bet it took hours
Makes me want to swipe my sleeve over it. Must be really satisfying
@@jeremysearle7634 Its the ONLY rendition of a sarcomere I've ever seen lol
Jonathan educated me just in one day more than my entire Biology class for three years. Kudos to Jonathan !!!!
It’s great when people make this information accessible to laypeople. The only reason I passed college biology, earth and environmental sciences was because I read the original Magic School Bus series to my kids. My daughter had me read all the charts and labels, and had them memorized before she could read. She’s now in astrophysics! My son said, “Can you just read the story?” He learned enough to become a nurse, though! He’s more into working with people (like me) than a mad scientist, like my daughter. We all need and use science!
I am a 60 year old nurse, I love this site videos. I am hoping to start med school within the next 5 years in Mexico City. Your videos are vital information for my goal. Thank you. 😊
So I was listening to this passively but when I began paying attention, you did the jump scare at the beginning of myth #2 and made me scream (I was wearing earphones) I have to explain myself to my coworkers now, lol. Thanks for the educational video.
😂
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 me too
😭😆
Happy Halloween lmao
So glad I saw this before the video started 😂 now I can be prepared!!
The reason people think hair and nails continue to grow comes from the fact that a rotting corpse's skin tends to shrink and tighten as it dries out, which can reveal more of the follicles and hairs that were beneath the surface of that skin. Modern embalming methods and cadaver preparation tends not to have that effect so much.
Thanks retro man!
Yah
You're right. When I was just 13, my great aunt encouraged me to kiss my grandpa's corpse in his coffin saying I'd regret it if not. The sight of those long finger nails on the blue/purple hands terrified me even though I loved him very much. Kids should never be put through this, people should be remembered as they were in life.
@@teddyroon ah yeah, the dead relative trauma programme. I graduated also
Yup exactly right. Back in the day people would lay their dead out for a number of days in their homes (to be sure they were definitely dead before burial). Quiet often they would notice what they believed was hair, beard, nail growth. But as you say it was just the skin drying out and tightening. Thus the Mitch began.
As a once Funeral Director and working in the funeral profession. I’ve been asked these questions. People are just curious and afraid of the deceased. Very nice video 😊
When my brother died (age 63), my sister and his wife were with him. He had been declared dead, including his brain. They were speaking with his surgeon and physician. About 20 min. after he was pronounced deceased, they all saw him sit straight up and he had his arms out in front of him. They were shocked. He was helped back down onto the bed in which he was (post surgery for LVA device). The physicians told them it was from something called "Lazarus Syndrome" but he was not alive when it happened.
I've decided to donate my body to science as I want to help people learn and to creep them out at the same time.
👍👍👍
😂
How are you typing this
@@andytheawesomeness somebody of the cadaver lab is using his hand to type this
👌🏻
As a mortician, I get these questions almost daily. I might just start directing people to this video to save myself some time! 😂
What a very commendable Job you have, God bless you. I don't even like to buy dead fish.
💜 BLESS YOUR HEART SAVANNAH EVANS 😊🙏💜
Yeah humans are stupid they really don’t understand humans at all
@@Rebecca57097ssss I to like to eat live meat at the grocery store I don’t like to eat dead meat
@@katymcginn4644 I mean corpses aren’t that bad if you don’t care about human life’s
Or if your a cannibal
Thanks! You ,guys, gave me a lot of motivation to be a medic and for wanting to go and learn at nurse school and who knows if I will want more. all I know because of you guys I want to be involved with world of medicine and scissors.
I apologize about the small donation but this what I can do now , I hope for donat more later 😅.
In the future when I'll visit the US , first station is THE INSTITUTE OF HUMAN ANATOMY.
The donation is much appreciated! We're glad to hear you're enjoying out videos, and a career as a medic is highly admirable! Thank you!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, 30 years ago we embalmed a black fella who was ripped and was the father of a friend...he did move alot when we started injecting..not raising up but muscles doing waves like the ocean..freaked me out... dealt with thousands since then.. keep up the good work
I am freaking obsessed with this channel. As a person that finds our human body and anatomy amazing, I appreciate the time that you take to make these videos to explain in great detail and easy way to understand, how our body functions.
Glad you enjoy it!
@@theanatomylab I found these videos and can't quit watching them. They are so understandable for the layman. I'm just loving them. Also, you are so darn intelligent I'm blown away. It seems like you are so knowledgeable of all the parts of the body. Thank you for your time teaching us and sharing all you have worked so hard to learn! God bless you. For the life of me, pun intended, I don't understand how you can remember all the names of everything!!! Remarkable! Thank you again. You have opened up something to me I never knew I would love so much! I'm 66 but I guess you are never too old to learn!! ❤️
Exactly. Plus, more people would be become doctors if all anatomy classes were as easy to ingest like these great videos are. You guys don't suffer from "Doctor Arrogance'.
@@Adam-qv2bdAbsolutely! My daughter loved the original Magic School Bus books, with all the charts and labels. Science was presented in a friendly, fun format. She’s now an Astrophysicist. I went back to school when my kids started school, and those books are the only read I passed Biology, Geology, and Environmental Science. I pursued Addictions Treatment, but am not afraid to take neurobiology classes, which have helped me understand patients more than anything.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you from all of us to this channel. As a med student this helps so much and our bodies are just amazing, constantly surprising me. Thank you 😃
Thank you for the comment!
This is very informative
i'm not a med student.
bodies are scary and the more i learn about them the more they are scary. i'm a programmer, and the principle is the same - the more i know about how komplex (and botched) a complex system is, the less I trust it - so the programs i trust the least to perform correctly is the ones i made myself.
...and what i'm learning in here is basically that i can have ZERO trust of my own body.
which is terrifying. utterly terrifying.
at the same time i can't stop watching because learning about how complex systems, however botched, work, is fascinating. utterly fascinating.
@@MidnightSt Very interesting perspective man! I like that, thanks for sharing :)
After my mom died, the home nurse asked me if I wanted to help her bathe my mom, for the last time. I did. When we raised her to lift her nightly over her head, the very last breath came out, and very sad, confused me said “mama!?!”, but the nurse quickly informed me what had happened.
By the way, I’m so glad the nurse asked me to do this with her. It was my way of saying my final goodbye to my mama.
I have to say, the word “cadaver” always rubs me the wrong way. Am I the only one?
Not the only one.
They were people once and are remembered as such and it feels dehumanizing towards the person, even though their soul left their body.
What an astonishing complexity(the sarcomere)! I could not help myself but contracting my arm muscles while watching this video, hits differently when you get the process in details. Jonathan is amazing in explaining and teaching! Would love to know more about the ATP molecule synthesis.
Made me so happy that I have decided to donate my body. All the paperwork done and dusted. My reason for doing so is I have multiple upon multiple medical problems, and it will be great learning for students on some unusual diagnosis I have. It the last thinking I can contribute to my fellow man or woman. I would encourage to seriously consider it.
Body donation is an amazing thing for education!
Where do you get the paperwork? I don't know who to contact to have my body donated.
I already have it in my will to donate any useable part of my body and cremate the rest. These videos made me want to donate my body to science but I thought with all the surgeries and health issues that there wouldn’t be much of use. Your post has me rethinking that. Course the person who gets my body will likely fail any tests. Find the gall bladder… not there. Find the appendix..not there. Plus a few more parts are missing. 🤣
What does it mean for funeral and grave plans for you lestki?
@@05labtech goggle body donation and the form will be there.
I'm a cadaver donor,its a priviledge to add to knowledge.This program is wonderful.
Thank you! Body donation is an amazing thing for education!
Hopefully not for a while yet though 😊
When someone says they're a blood donor, it implies they've donated blood.
Mam, what kind of business you're running if you don't mind me asking?
@@VivekYadav-ds8oz ha ha, so although cadavers can't grow hair or nails, they may be able to comment on CZcams!
My mom donated her body. I have already told my husband I wish to do the same
I have an agreement with Wayne state university that my body will go to them upon my death for study. As a science nerd, I'm excited that my body will be used to teach others. This channel is great. I was wondering how the cadavers were kept "fresh" for such a long time. The process of signing up for donation was so easy that I encourage others to consider it. My family will get my cremains back at the end of the study at zero cost to my family! A total win/win!
These are excellent presentations, and really benefit the learner. Thank you to The Anatomy Institute lecturers. Amazing series..
lol im 15 and i learn more from this channel than what i learn in school. the way u spread info is just interesting and keeps me engaged
Thank you! Glad you learn from our videos!
Congrats for your great interest in sciences. (and next month I'll turn 71 ! Some 60 years interested in sciences).
Dance anime nerd
Go to college you will learn actual knowledge school dosent teach you anything important or useful for real life
@@camstar3671 facts
Am not a student but getting addicted to these videos, perhaps in the end I'll stop fearing the dead. Thanks very much
It's the living that can hurt you. The dead cannot.
@Chelle Bright I died while reading this
I work in aged care. Part of my job is to look after the dead. It’s hard sometimes. The personality of the person is gone. During the moving of the person from their bed to the funeral homes trolley there must have been air in the persons lungs as the air past the vocal cords. Not loud but it was enough for us to double take.
What I’d like to know is, hair on your body that stops growing at a certain length, such as armpits ect.., will usually only grow a few inches at most and stop, but if you cut or trim that hair in half, it will grow back to the original length, how does this happen? I’m not talking about shaving the hair to the level of the skin surface, just cut in half and it will grow back.
Good Question
I'm 14 years old and I love watching you're videos and learning about the human body... So thank you so much for these amazing video ❤️☺️
You are so welcome!
@@theanatomylab How do you get those parts from the dead bodies are there people's jobs to skin the body up and each of every part of the body? Sounds traumatizing if I'm right

@@Plixotrippin You will be surprised how resilient the human mind is.It might seem icky but people do dissect cadavers
Congratulations! Many old people, like me (70) use to say that youth is lost, have no interest in sciences and so on. People are always the same. Some enjoy learning, some not. I'm still learning, and it will be like this until I die.
This is a better description and diagram of the sarcomere than I've gotten from any of my actual lecturers, or text books.
Right? My jaw dropped at the talent it took to put that diagram on the board.
If you become a nerd the books are better.
I’m not afraid of dying but am scared of not being here to see how the world survives. Watching your vids are fascinating. I’m worried the world doesn’t have much longer, what you do is commendable but i fear that us as a human race are selfish and will not do what it takes to prolong us.
Love you guys. I spent 40 years as an art teacher. I also taught computer and video technology as well as publications. Story telling was my forte and your stories are exceptionally informative and a pleasure to view. Thank you for your generous knowledge base. My primary MD said his niece, a medical student, is into your presentations.
I would work in an anatomy lab *just* to be the jumps care "cadaver."
That is evil but a great story for the students
It's scary when you imagine it being a part of a real body of a real person. 😱
🤦
Gee imagine 🤦
I already loved this channel, but I’m getting ready to be a coroner’s detective & this was very useful information in layman’s terms! Fantastic job as usual in your teaching style. Thank you!
When a friend passed away in high school, i was walking to the room where his service was being held. Another service was going on as i walked the hall way and the hands were folded over each other. What was crazy, was that the Hands were almost floating about 6 inches above the body.
I am always blown away by the breadth of knowledge. I wish I'd had teachers more like him.
Could u do a video on enlarged heart and why it’s bad. I’ve always struggled to understand why a bigger heart muscle is bad but bigger muscles everywhere else are good. Thanks:)
I discovered this channel quite by accident, and now I can’t stop watching! The information is presented in a fascinating manner. I made the decision years ago to donate my body. My (grown) children aren’t too pleased with my decision, but watching these videos provides validation to me that I made the right decision. Thank you so much for these videos!
💜 GOD BLESS YOU KAREN 😊 I'M DONATING MY BODY AS WELL, DECIDED A FEW YEARS AGO. I'M PRAYING THAT IT MAY HELP SOMEONE FIND A CURE FOR ONE OF MY MANY DISEASE.
I WISH I COULD DONATE MY ORGANS, BUT I'M UNABLE TO DO SO. THIS GIVES ME A GOOD FEELING THAT I'M DOING SOMETHING. WE DON'T NEED OUR BODIES WHEN WE GO TO THE OTHER SIDE. MAY AS WELL HAVE PEOPLE LEARN FROM US. GREAT DECISION YOU'VE MADE, BE BLESSED 😊🙏💜💜💜
@@katymcginn4644 absolutely!! ❤️❤️
Guys, I've been binging your videos for days and all I can say is that when I was in school, I really wish my teachers were as passionate about what they were teaching as you are. Their lack of enthusiasm made it soo difficult to get excited about, well... anything really.
Now, here I am 31 and have never been more interested in biology in my life, let alone our own anatomy as humans.
So yeah, great videos
thanks lads!
Began watching because of my daughter’s interest in pathology and her beginning PA School. She is heavy into anatomy lab this semester. I only hope the professors take the time to explain the embalming process and the gifts these people/cadavers bring beyond learning simple anatomy. This video provided me a valuable and unexpected education. Excellent work.
Did you share this video to her? I bet she’d watch and appreciate it. I’m just suggesting it because I’m a fossil, and many simple things I can do on a computer don’t occur to me, so forgive me if you’re far beyond that. It’s a great way to connect with my college age kids, when I can figure out how to do it! 😂❤
I once heard a story from my gf's aunt who worked at a morgue. She would say that sometimes, the bodies would actually talk and ask where they were. Some moving too. But she would simply tell them everything was alr, and to go on.
I'm about to graduate nursing school and this is literally the first time I've understood how muscles move.... Please continue teaching all the things🙏
I started listening to a lot of Thriller Audio Books while working and at first it was shocking and somehow disgusting how detailed they described the corpses but as I continued, it became more and more interesting to me. The human body is absolutely fascinating even after death
A question about rigor mortis: I watch some content from Caitlin Doughty and other friendly morticians here on CZcams, and they talk about how in order to move corpses into the position they will be shown and buried in (e.g. crossing the arms, fixing the features of the face) they have to massage and flex/extend the muscles vigorously in order to loosen that muscle contraction and "break" rigor mortis. What are they accomplishing by massaging the muscles? Is it directly causing the actin and myosin to release, or are they doing something at some other level (e.g. causing sarcomere units to come apart from each other or causing muscle cells/fibers to break down and loosen)?
I would also like to know please.
Dead people are just really tense and nervous about their funeral so a nice massage helps them relax and loosen up. I think we've all been there.
Loved the analogy in the skeletal muscle contraction in the whiteboard session. 👏👏👏
Glad you liked it!
Hi Johnathan
Excellent explanations for the myths of the corpse. One, you may only witness shortly after time of death occurs as you’re preparing someone. A “moan” can sometimes be heard when a body is rolled to one side after being on the their back.
As you know, not all bodies do it and tonal qualities can differ depending on the usual anatomical circumstances but to a newcomer, it can be very frightening .
I mean no disrespect to anyone who has recently lost someone dear. Just thought to add this bit of advice to younger students. We were told of this phenomenon when we were students to prepare ourselves.
Came for myths, ended up learning about the exact mechanics behind muscle contractions. Thank you! 😊
You guys are inspiring me to pursue anatomy
Love to hear things like that!
Do it!!! A and P classes were my personal favorites in college.
I have a medical exam tomorrow for the integumentary system. This helped a bit and I appreciate it ✌🏻
Absolutely “BRILLIANT” vlog serial. Thank you for your informative service to our world!

I wish i had you around when I was learning sarcomeres last year for my RNs. That concept plus my lecturer's absolute lack of visual aids made me cry at least one HAHA
I recently became aware of these body donor programs, and I plan on getting signed into one. I'm learning quite a bit from these videos. Thank you for making them!
I'm jealous of his students, How lucky they're to have him as a teacher.
He isn't a teacher. The institute hired this model for the videos. He's basically an actor and got a job because he's perfect looking.
@@w.k.7277 your confidently incorrect he’s literally the Co-founder, and an anatomist. Proof? Their website.
@ W.K model? what? because he is good looking? that is stupid thinking!
I wish i was one of his people so that i could play with dead peoples scalp skins 😅 looks really fun
Here's what I'm curious about: would you (the guys of the institute for human anatomy) donate your bodies to science?
Your presentation and explanation are both fascinating, keeping it entertaining as well. As a requester donor, it's fun to see what I'm to expect from the slicing and dissecting. A little dead humor.
Thank you, I love learning more.
the explanation of how the muscles work was just wonderful! thank you so much!!
I was actually counting the bodies when yours came back from the dead 😆 good to know there is humor in death.
You scared the soul out of me when you sit up between the bodies 😂 I can imagine the fun on doing it to the students every time 😂😂
It took me time to calm down after that 😂
This series is like no other, great stuff. Thanks ✌🏻
Thank you for the wonderful work you do!
One thing i found really interesting, is that i was in a coma a couple years back with multi organ failure, in ICU. What no onr tells u, is how much ur body goes through, and it takes sometimes years to recover, and horrible things have happened to me since then, like how a lot of my teeth have crumbled away, a lot of my hair fell out, putting weight on, lots of things, not to mention the PTSD. Anyway, one thing that happened was my nails stopped growing! And my hair too, that's why a lot fell out. I noticed my nails when i randomly got these weird ridges on them! Called Beaus Ridges i think, and basically when your body is trying to heal, and its a desperate situation like kidney and liver failure, your body has to use all its resources to fight. So using energy etc on nail and hair growth is unnecessary, so they just stop growing so that your body can just focus on healing! How incredible is that?! I was so impressed with my body that it did that haha!! Its so cool. And well, i guess it worked cos within a week or so after coming out of ICU both kidneys and liver were very quickly healing, and it didbt take long at all to be fully healed. Just amazing really!
I'm 16 years old and I am interested in the human body alot. Thank you guys alot for spreading knowledge to me and everyone in the world and it means alot to us!
Same here dude!!
A little info to help you in your education……a lot is two words. I’m not trying to be mean or rude. You seem interested in learning. Just trying to help you.
@@ntamny 💜 *a lot. That is very polite how you tried to teach this young teen this is two words. 😊💜
A lot is two words
This makes so much sense, and ties together why troponin is checked for heart damage, after a heart attack. thanks guys.
Massive respect! Thanks for taking your time to teach us and debunk these myths. New subscriber here!
cool name hahaha
Your explanation of rigor mortis helped me to understand the way calcium works in muscles. I am currently dealing with bone spurs (calcific tendinitis?). I know it happens from an injury, but it's nice to have further information on how it all works together. Thanks!
I’m dealing with the same condition, and dystonia, and it helped me too. I look up information on these conditions all the time, but it’s hard to find good sources that explains things in layman’s terms. I know more medical terms than the average healthy, non-disabled person due to slogging through academic journals, looking everything up. It’s hard to have time to look up five words per sentence and put it all together, though! I should have gone to medical school, instead of pursuing social science! It’s a blessing when someone makes the information accessible. ❤
Can you do any videos explaining and showing the damages of endometriosis? I’m not sure where to formally request a video idea ❤️ would greatly appreciate it!
I was going to ask for something similar. However I was going to ask for an in depth video about PCOS or ovarian cysts.
Yes they have already done one. Just check back in their library.
Thank you for such a clear explanation of a sarcomere. It was very interesting.
I'm always careful to avoid sleeping on my arm. If it becomes fully lifeless, it jumps up and tries to strangle me with superhuman strength.
You sir have given the single best and easiest to understand explanation that I’ve ever heard on how muscles work
Wow….. you just explained the whole concept of sarcomeres better than my professors lecture class this Tuesday. 😭😂
You are fantastic guy so easy to understand. I used to pass out in school I find this amazing xx
The way you broke down sarcomeres, which I’ve never heard of before… wow. I have heard of ATP though! Thank you.
Can always count on a very entertaining and educational video from this channel. Great teacher, compelling content
I don't know why, and I didn't think it would, but seeing those fingers and finger nails still well preserved made me feel slightly uncomfortable. That doesn't usually happen with other parts of the body i see in these videos
Yeah... The hands and the face sometimes get to people...
My guess is that basically only humans and primates have hands like that so it reminds you and makes you realize thats it's actually a person and not just a random limb from something
It's called Tripophoblia
The only part that I didn't like we're the teeth. One of the cadavers we had in our Pro-Section class was a elderly woman that had her dentures in and it looked like she never cleaned them. That was gross!!!🤢🤢🤢
I totally understand. Hands are so much a part of being human. I remember at my grandmother’s viewing, her face didn’t look like her but her hands sure did and seeing her hands brought tears.
Love your videos, very educational thank you.
I’m a mortuary science student your videos help a lot! Can we get a video on arteries and veins?
I cannot fall sleep without background noise. I love your videos not only for the educational content, but because you both have nice, soothing voices. Except when you sit up out of a body bag. 😂
This video will not be in my bedtime rotation. Funny as heck, though! Keep the videos coming!
I nearly became one of those cadavers after that jump scare... I swear my sole left my body for a moment lol... Would still love a video on the complaxity of the thyroid and what happens when like it goes under active
This was awesome!!! You explained things so well. I love these videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗!
Thank you for all these videos. They have been most helpful in understanding some basic body functions. I have a request. My wife suffers from idiopathic Syringomylia and related issues such as 5th ventricular malformation. I am a long-time CPAP user, suffering from sleep apnea. Could you possibly do videos on these? Thanks.
Please make this topic into a mini series! I love how informative these debunked myths were.
Thank you so much for uploading again.I learned a lot for this topic.
Glad it was helpful!
you guys have my full attention, great videos
Thank you for all information, excellent 👏
I have to say, making this video this close to Halloween is great! I can inform my friends correctly when we tell our ghost stories 😁 Thank you so much for this channel and all of your efforts, I'm grateful that you are here for education and science! 👍💯
Just found this channel and man is that scary wish I didnt have fears of bodies blood organs really death but your content is amazingly educational thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I am surprised how interesting this is and how much it can help us to get over the fear we have of our own bodies.
You are an absolutely amazing teacher. Thank you sir for all you do to help teach the students who are up and coming Dr.s, nurses, surgeons., etc. You should be proud.
