You're best sir. I'm primarily a visual learner, I find it easier to understand this way

[@lindasun5178]

C3,4,5 keeps the diaphragm alive . I once heard a chiropractor say that, but I didn't understand it till now. Thank you!

[@laurutexwx]

Wish I would have found you earlier. It's the only CZcams videos that actually goes into my head.
You are the reason I will pass my exam. Thank you

[@joycemwangi9452]

Thanks for uploading

[@biplabroy1589]

how excellent of your teaching, do you mind giving pulmonary system in detail, I mean your style, I cannot forget you. You do not know what you are.

[@dr.panigrahislectures8238]

Nice Explanation

[@mrscrambled3162]

love you

[@namanzelyeclinton838]

Thanks doctor

[@YelenaIzKislovodska]

Such a great work done! Could you comment more on voluntary holding breath, or lengthening breath? what is the feedback to the limbic system?

[@aladeendirar1841]

Pls ..can u do cns (cerebral cortex layers)

[@sujithakatari]

Thanq so much sir

[@ceepeeverma7130]

nice👍👍

[@AbdullahKhan-rv5yx]

Sir add some diseases videos also

[@Campbellteaching]

there are lots on campbellteaching channel already

[@Arunava_Gupta]

Who, after knowing and studying about feedback mechanisms as ingenious as these, would continue to entertain belief in the (fatuous) theory of blind, undirected evolution?
