I’ve been a nurse for over 35 years and this channel has kept me informed and keeps me updated and refreshed on the human anatomy which helps me in my nursing! Thank you very much for this channel!
Can you please make another video, devoted to constipation? Considering how many people have it as a problem, I believe it deserves attention, and will perfectly match this side of the story 😀
Constipation is most often the cause of a poor diet. We tend to think that what we enjoy as our traditional meat and dairy heavy diet as “healthy” however, there are good reasons to not agree with this. Our bodies in comparison to herbivores or carnivores, is most similar to herbivores. The ratio is the measure from shoulder to tailbone, so that way one can compare herbivores like horses or cows and goats and sheep, to ourselves. Our teeth in the back are grinding teeth which is what the aforementioned animals have including elephants, another herbivore. Our so-called “canines” could not pierce into an animal if we could even catch one by our running. This is not to say that mankind has not eaten animal foods as they have. When there are however, diseases such as arthritis as I had, in an elimination diet to see if dairy might be the offending food, my arthritis was so much better I could get out of my wheelchair. “Hmm… this is interesting”. Over months I was able to transition to a Whole Food Plant-Based diet. What I discovered is that my lifelong constipation totally disappeared. I knew the diet change, which I made at 58, would be best to switch gradually so I replaced my dinners and lunches one day added each week and really had no bad reactions. Moreover, my asthma also disappeared, my eczema also went away, as did my split heels on my feet, I lost weight without ever being hungry and my pre-diabetes went away also. Moreover, at 58 I also was tested as I was afraid I might be at the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease, it came back mild cognitive impairment which was when my father’s kicked in. I am 69 now, have no problem with my memory or with writing or concentrating. I’ve also done a lot of knitting and crocheting to further strengthen my hands. But bowel movement, I have several every day, and they are without straining at all, and have most often 4 or 5 but if I make Mexican food where I am eating my homemade refried beans, there will be 6. But these are not huge either nor are they too soft, never runny, but well-formed. Up until the Covid vaccines, I did not get sick in 10 years time, no colds nor flu. I got sick after the third vaccine and that cold lasted 3 months. So did it do anything good for me? Do I want another one? Good heavens, NO! I have been able to adapt most of the recipes we have enjoyed to reflect our diet. My husband went Plant-Based about 6 years after I did as it took him having stage 4 prostate cancer to never want to have cancer ever again. Plant-based eating is good for the digestion so when you have a healthy gut, and none of the animal protein, in general, cancers are not going to grow as in meat-based diets which have iGF1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor) as shown in the famous book by T. Colin Campbell, PhD.’s, “The China Study”, where they ran experiments to see with rats what turned cancer on and off, they used soya for the plant-based protein and casein for the animal-based protein. The latter would turn cancer on, and the former would turn it off, and control groups were switched, the same results happened. But people have found reversal or containment of cancer following a Whole Food Plant-Based diet. As this diet is kinder to our intestinal tract, you get the sorts of bacteria to proliferate which are beneficial to us as we do not directly digest or food but have a symbiotic relationship with our bacteria. The bacteria which digested meat rather die off but here is another reason for foul smelling gas as these bacteria which digest animal protein have the by-product of sulfur. Though we cook our meat, the meat is in a state of decay and that means rigor mortis but this is happening internally. To balance calories, many people eat less of fiber-rich foods and get constipated. Eating a lot of dairy-foods like cheese, having milk, yogurt, is also constipating. So when I ate this way I’d be lucky to go #2 3 or 4 times a week. Some people only go once a week and it can be a painful experience. I had such horrific constipation as a child, the only way I could go was with enemas and they were PAINFUL. If I had had a choice about the matter, if I had been raised Plant-Based I would not have had such an excruciating childhood. I recall such for the benefit of others that they might look into it for themselves. Though I had good reason to make the change, it took me months upon months to fully convince myself that this was for me as before going Plant-Based, our youngest son had convinced me to try KETO which he was doing. I could not sleep and I could not have a BM apart from an enema and again, so painful. I quit that and soon after had to have my gallbladder removed. I was glad at that point I had turned to plant-based as it helped me to recover. When my husband agreed to go plant-based his blood pressure came down a lot, though he takes one pill a day now for that but no other medications, I take not medications at all, except we take multiple vitamins, D-3 and B-12. He has has lifelong severe asthma and he is off inhalers and nightly use of his nebulizer. He is having robust health outside of having survived his cancer surgery. Three other men who retired with him who were his fellow custodians and a high school, also were quite obese, each of them, also had diagnosed prostate cancer. They opted for chemo and radiation. Inside of 3 months, they were all dead. My husband is 6 years cancer-free. So we are as healthy as our digestion and it pays us back in freedom from disabling illnesses. I’ll also add, that my husband’s mother had had cancer of the bowel, followed by cancer for the cervix, cancer of the uterus, of the ovaries and breast cancer. Breast and prostate cancer are provoked by the estrogen in dairy milk which acts as an actual estrogen as it is mammalian and not from plants. People think soy is a danger but the plant-estrogen in soy is called “estrodial” and it is not molecularly the same shape, but does attach to our cells and grabs and pulls in calcium into bones. By attaching to estrogen receptors, it can and does, by doing so, it blocks the estrogens produces by both men and women and thereby makes one safer from getting cancers of these two types so it is judged to be “protective”. Not that the conditioning of “soy makes man boobs” - not true. My husband eats soy and his lost weight on this diet, whereas he is not skinny, he does not need to wear a bra, not even a training one. Men in the Orient have much more soy than even I eat and are they growing boobs? Not if they are on their traditional diet. Only when they eat fast-food and adapt our western diet do they then become as riddled with diseases like we have. So is the Standard American diet a healthy diet? You tell me. A diet which keeps you well is the healthy one. We are heavily brainwashed and we get shows pictures of double and triple meat cheeseburgers with cheese on each patty, pizzas now with double cheese and cheese in the crust. We put cheese on everything and even vegetables which then aren’t healthy for us either. Cancer of the bowel is dreadful to have, I won’t have to suffer this now. The Standard American Diet also promotes diabetes as it is so high in fat, the fat seeps into our muscle cells and they are full up and won’t take the sugar out of the blood. This is the mechanism of Type II Diabetes. Dr. John McDougall gets his Starch-Based diet clients off their meds inside of one week usually in his health seminars where you stay for 11 days. And these people stick with the diet as they are lighter and now full of energy and of course, no longer constipated. He has so much good science behind him as does Dr. Michael Gregor, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Milton Mills, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, to name a few. My doctor when I lived in Lancaster, CA, taught seminars on Plant-Based eating and lost weight himself but did not discover that it was good to cure diabetes and both his father’s feet were amputated. He could not save his own father. Dr. Lawenda, now works with Kaiser podiatrists to save diabetics from losing their feet as if they are willing and most all would be, to go plant-based, their feet pink back up whereas they need a amputation but this reverses the first stages of gangrene. How far it can reverse it, I don’t know, but I do know he has kept people from losing their feet. So a healthy gut makes healthy blood, makes our minds work better and yes, it solves the constipation problem too.
Jonathan, you did amazing explaining how "pooping" works. And keeping a straight face and being very professional the whole video was great. Again, another great video.
Omg Jonathan, “Brown Friday”, “Busiest day for plumbers”… this is hilarious!!! You guys create such awesome, educational content that is also very entertaining 🥰
So educational but also he seems really genuine, what a lucky guy to find a job that he is passionate about and can teach others. I've learned so much from this channel.
I'm a first-year EMS student and randomly stumbled upon this channel. Quite cool gotta say, helps to understand anatomy a bit more and is interesting to see human parts IRL and not just drawings/animations.
This exertion of pressure on the walls of the colon can lead to diverticulitis, which unfortunately I've had to deal with multiple times. I'm very leery of applying too much voluntary muscle pressure while performing a BM because I'm fearful of inviting inflammation of a diverticulum -- especially if a sizable chunk of undigested food makes its way into a diverticulum and gets lodged there. My first episode almost killed me, because I didn't know what was happening or what diverticulitis was -- and by the time I went to the ER the inflamed diverticulum had perforated, and peritonitis was beginning to set in. This is not something to be played with or de-emphasized, and is one reason why I'd recommend a colonoscopy for anyone over the age of 40. It isn't just cancer you have to worry about; diverticulosis CAN be problematic, and so it's worth it to know whether you have any diverticula there so you can modify your diet or take it easy on your voluntary muscle pressure, or both.
As was pointed out in the video, having large, hard stools is usually caused by not consuming enough fiber and water, and also by postponing having BMs. As poop is losing fluid toward the end of the bowel, it is getting harder and more difficult to pass.
As an older adult and a survivor of diverticulitis, I can't begin to tell you how much taking a psyllium fiber supplement has helped me. I am a non-clinical employee at a hospital and this was recommended to me by one of our surgeons. I've lost weight, have more energy and I've stopped having episodes of postprandial somnolence after eating my first meal of the day.
I'm surprised that the sitting form when pooping wasn't mentioned. I've always been used to the normal seated toilets until my friend got a stool to lift her feet (won't advertise the brand name) to use while pooping and I used it. It's soooo......much easier. When I developed pregnancy related constipation, I got one for myself and family and it really helped to pass the stool. I still had to eat more fiber than I did before but with one bowl of Bran Cereal a day, it eventually passed. A toilet I used in Japan was built into the floor and I thought that was the weirdest thing (didn't know what to do with it). Now I wish we had those in America because it allows for a more natural method of relieving my bowels.
I do this too when I can. Always a much smoother experience. Though sitting or I guess technically squatting like that for too long tends to really get uncomfortable. Thankfully, the uh.. time spent as opposed to Western toilet sitting is much shorter.
please please make videos on hyperhidrosis, brain hemorrhage, atherosclerosis & aneurysm, cystic fibrosis, why damage to temples can be fatal, sharp pain around chest area that makes inhalation harder then goes away after a few seconds (sorry i dont know what its called). i haven't seen any videos about eyes so are you planning on doing any? i love the way you and justin teach and look forward to your videos!
We have a list of conditions that we are going to do videos on, and those are on the list. We are currently working on eye dissections, so stay tuned! Thanks!
@@theanatomylab I recently saw a video on my recommended list for a eyeball to bounce. I assumed it was from this channel and marked it for later viewing but can't bring myself to watch it. I'll check the video listing on this channel later to confirm if it came from here or not. Recommend putting a warning in when you do produce this video before showing the eyeball itself. I get squeamish (I know others do too) with anything involving direct interaction of the eyeball but still like to listen to the information while looking away.
Higher than a side stitch, is a “catch” inside the rib cage, above the diaphragm. Feels like an ice pick for a second, so painful breathing stops involuntarily. But, literally a second later, it’s gone. I would get them as a kid, once or twice a year. Very memorable.
It’s the appendix missing, right? I love this channel! It’s a great anatomy reminder! I am in sonography school and currently takin cross sectional anatomy, so this is a big help 🙏🏼♥️
I think prior to that cadaver’s death and dissection, there was a problem with the appendix of that person, so they did surgery to take it out. Then the person lived till it died and was dissected.
Since we are talking about the missing part that should be attached to the Cecum, It would be pretty interesting to see a separate video on the appendix and how it has been misunderstood for a long time, as wel as the potential function it might play in stabilizing the microbiota.
The missing thing would be the appendix. And for me and my family, our brown day would be the Christmas morning (so it wasn't necessarily brown Friday😀) We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here 😁
@@theanatomylab oh absolutely, after missing two times of Christmas morning chaos, I can't wait to bang the bathroom doors (either to annoy other family members or having emergency for myself)🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like I'm back in my first anatomy class again (and Jonathan's first time teaching! 😋). Jonathan was an awesome teacher. You've come a loooong way since UCMT! Congrats dude!
@Da Booty Hole Lover I have this 🙄 early on in the start of my relationship with my BF we went on a holiday for 3 days together and I legit couldn't poop the whole 3 days 🙃😭
The medical term is parcopresis (and the same for peeing is called paruresis). They're forms of social anxiety and the method of treatment usually involves exposure therapy (not literally - you start by letting someone you trust get closer to you when you're in a safe bathroom until you feel able to go and try in an empty public bathroom etc). But for some people, it can be so severe they simply can't go at all in public - a small number of folk even have to use intermittent self-catheterization if they can't overcome their body's response to let them pee in public, because it can cause real problems - aside from discomfort, there's the risk of UTIs, constipation etc. But I definitely recommend that if you're suffering from a shy bladder or bowel, that you go look up some of the support sites and maybe see your doctor if it's really affecting you (i.e. you can't go out because of the anxiety, you're not peeing all day etc). I say this as someone who used to have the WORST case of paruresis and parcopresis as a child and teenager (and even now, as an adult, I am still not completely free of the anxiety, but I can, at least, use the bathroom when I need to). At least, as long as I don't have to deal with having diarrhoea. Then the anxiety comes back REALLY badly.
Hey Teacher the answer is The Appendix...if the appendix gets inflamed it is commonly removed by a procedure called Appendectomy( A small incision at the right lower quadrant of the Abdomen)
Hi Jonathan, have you ever heard of the 'poop button'? It is a pressure point that is located 3 finger widths below the navel. If you are having trouble evacuating, you can apply pressure there and it makes you have the urge to poop. I was skeptical but I have tried it several times and it definitely works. I'm just wondering what the science around this would be?
I think my belly is to fat, its not working. Vaseline and plastic gloves are great when it feels like your butt hole is going rip in half after being plugged up. Lube up bung hole before you go.
VERY eloquent description, I truly had no idea how many different things were involved with an almost involuntary bodily function, thank you so much for the explanation! I can't wait to share this knowledge with my anatomically curious friends! Happy Thanksgiving 🍗🍠
I'm having a right hemicolectomy to remove a couple of large polyps. The surgery was supposed to take place on the 18th but I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia so the surgery had to be postponed yet again. I just hope I don't end up with an ostomy bag....even a temporary one.
This channel reminds me of when I took anatomy back when I was in Nursing back 25 years ago. This is so detailed that I wish I was a personal trainer or something that deals with the anatomy of people.
Well I am a biology student and these videos are so helpful to watch rather than just imagine everything. Glad I found this channel, thanks to CZcams algorithm.
@@theanatomylab I’m not a nurse or doctor but took Animal Health Technology & have always enjoyed learning more medical info on our body! In fact, I avidly do research on both Animal & human health & anatomy. And I don’t go on ‘forums’, but love reading medical journals & if I could afford some medical textbooks I would! If I could afford ‘Guyton’s Physiology’ I’d buy it today! Thanks for your videos! Btw: I earlier commented that it’s the appendix that is missing!
I'm a student nurse, and I'm doing a placement in a surgical ward that deals a lot with diseases in the bowel. So I see a lot of stomas at the moment. They essentially put a hole in the abdomen going through the large intestine and allow fecal matter that is still liquid to pass through into a bag stopping the need for the muscle contractions. They can be either high or low output and is only done if there is something seriously wrong with the bowels and like the rectum can also collect air in them.
I have gastroparesis, IBS and a week pelvic floor. As a disabled person my abdominal muscles have wasted and it makes it very difficult for me to go. Eating more fiber makes everything far worse. Rather than supporting my bowel habit, fiber causes excessive painful gas that won't release for a week or longer. I also take medications to help some of the issues I have but sadly I haven't found anything that helps the gastroparesis 😭
Gastroparesis sucks so badly. I'm guessing you tried the usual suspects (erythromycin, metoclopramide, domperidone etc)? My transit time is SO slow, and I agree, bonus fibre doesn't actually help for me, either, it just means more to come out which is even more painful and difficult. The only thing that seems to help is Movicol, but even then, it's such a pain to tweak the dose when your gut transit time is measured in double figures of days. Honestly, though, I've kinda got used to that end, it's the endless nausea and vomiting that makes me crazy.
I had pancreatic cancer and the whipple procedure to remove it so now I struggle with gastroparesis as well. The worst thing for me is taking antibiotics. It totally wrecks my ability to pass stool. I end up with built up gas that's so bad it hurts in my upper back. Fiber backfires with me, too. What seems to help me most of all is to preserve my gut bacteria at all costs. I try not to eat things that promote poor gut bacteria. I eat a lot of fermented foods like pickles, kimchi, ginger beer (non-alcoholic), gochujang, yogurt, etc. That seems to help me stay regular. Another thing that I do to help me pass stubborn stools is a series of stretches and bends while I'm on the porcelain throne. I also do a lot of manual manipulation of my colon by palpating across the colon to physically move the stool. Since you have a weak pelvic floor, maybe some more aggressive palpation on your colon could help move things along. You've probably tried all these things already but if not, I hope some of this helps!
Had fecal impaction a few weeks ago. I was literally rolling on the floor with excruciating pain. Had colitis as well from. It. Ever since if come to appreciate this topic even more.
I love this channel. As a nurse it has been very useful. Interesting part is that I work with elderly and I've seen people with no BM for 14 days. Happy pooping to y'all! 😂❤️
I used to work night shifts. You always knew when a certain nurse had been on duty because of the number of patients who had a bowel movement overnight! It's amazing the difference it makes to an older person wellbeing when they have regular movement
Love all these vids. I've had so much digestive problems in my life it's made me quite interested in the digestive system. Learning about it has helped me over the years to alleviate some problems and pain.
I've been binge watching this channel since I discovered it. It's incredible content and very educational and entertaining. Would you guys be open to a video on hernias? I've always been very interested in them since my mom has had one for my entire life. I know it's the intestines breaking through a lining but that's all I know about it. What causes them? Can they kill you? Do they hurt? My mom said hers doesn't hurt anymore but the doctors can't fix it. Will the intestinal track rot if it's torn from it's spot or is it fine so long as it's still attached as a tube?
Interesting video! But I have a question: What happens to the body when you take an anti-diarrhoea drug like Imodium, or Loperamide? Does it control some smooth muscle telling him to immediately stop contracting? And how its effect be so quick to once you take that drug? Thank you! Also, how come when we have a number two, we almost always have a number one as well? Does those muscle contraction affect the prostate in some way?
I suspect it's because when you push out your number two, those same muscles or some of the same are pushing out your number one, being pushing on your bladder and the urinary sphincter. Although in my experience number one is first, then number two, that could be due to conditioning of the act of sitting on the toilet.
I absolutely love watching his videos🥰😊. They are literally the only ones I can actually understand when it comes to this type of information. Having a hard time grasping this type of info he makes it easy. Love that he uses visuals as well. Having ADD these are an important way of learning for me. Thank you so much. 🥰💯💯🤗🤗N big thanks to donators as well.👈💯💯
We are so intricately made, the human body is amazing. I've healed myself from a autoimmune condition I had and I believe the body is so intelligent and self healing if you give it the right tools. The further away we get from nature and god the more sick we get.
Hello, I am an athlete and after workouts its usually my feet that are sore and painful. Can you do a video about the certain muscles on the feet? I think it'd be really interesting to know, and how I can probably better take care of my feet to avoid injuries.
Im a veterinary nursing student and these videos are so helpful! Im actually currently learning about anatomy so its relatable , even in animals. The part that is missing I think is the appendix? Also fun fact rabbits actually have a large caecum? Its used to absorb all the nutrients as they are hind gut fermenters . They also eat their "first faeces" called caecotrophs. This is because they dont get all the nutrients from their diet the first time round, so they eat their first droppings to regain that nutrients. (:
You know you have to reduce everything down to a 3 letter acronym: OCF’ers (Overly confident Flatulence’ers) I had the pleasure & honour of having a professor in my Biology & Nutritive Sciences course work (UIC ‘83) that made learning (like you guys make learning) quite enjoyable & with a smile on her face on almost every presentation.... Even though it was old information to her she was always seemingly genuinely excited about conveying the information over to us as well as for allowing open discussion. Thank you for what you guys do, & HOW you do it!.
Can't believe no-one seems to have posted about this being a shitty video. Joking aside, I love this channel. Everything is so well explained, useful to the uninitiated and the more knowledgeable without being dumbed down or patronising.
Question: Can you tell us about "corn"? It appears to pass through unchanged if it was swallowed without chewing. Does this mean we really didn't receive nutrition from it? Also noticed that mushrooms will pass through unchanged.
Your content is excellent! I would love seeing you explain the importance of the thyroid gland, its function and what happens when it's in disfunction! 😁
Just had my appendix removed. Wish it had been done at an earlier age. I did get a $15k savings via my age and did not interrupt much of those important events I already have done!
I've never seen someone so excited while talking about mass peristalsis and skeletal muscles of the pelvis before. I wish I could be half as excited about my career.
It`s the appendix missing in the large intestine. Doctors at Kaiser back in '70 said I was okay & sent me home in misery where my mine burst. Just made it back for surgery with a tube in me for a week.
The appendix. Used to be a useful Oregon but over time we don’t use it anymore so most people have the appendix removed and it doesn’t hurt the bodies function.
Water can still be absorbed, making the stool harder. Usually this isn't an issue if you are just waiting a few hours. If someone were to wait days, it could really make it difficult to have a bowel movement.
The fecies are going to be evacuated and deposited in to the toilet. Hopefully.... 😂🤣😂🤣 That tiny pause made me burst out laughing So many poop stories Such an essential function to live and feel (!) happy Many thanks for that episode 🤗 Any chance you could explain in future episodes how is it actually "reorganized" inside in bowel area when someone has stoma? What happens with a rectum in that case?
Even though people already said the answer I'm still going to say it cause I learned it in my anatomy class a few days ago and I'm proud that I didn't forget. The part that's missing is the appendix 😁
The timing is this video is interesting for me because I am currently suffering with some GI problems after having an anemic attack that led to a mini-stroke while going to the bathroom. I've always had problems going to the bathroom though and wondered if it was a muscular problem, or just a nutrient problem leading to collitis.
@@theanatomylab i love all your videos so much that I can't explain in words!!! All of them are so much informative ....thanku for your sincere efforts💚
I always remembered a science lesson that was about explaining why diarrhoea is so liquid, and we were told that it's being "rushed" out of the large intestine and so doesn't have that extra water absorption - the one thing I've never forgotten, Lord knows why!
Props to the people who donated their bodies for this channel and science in general.
I wouldn't call it sacrifice, more "i want to be useful after i die"
We are extremely grateful for the body donors. One of the greatest ways to learn about the human body!
@@zah_old_acc No, they did not want to die for this. They wanted their bodies to be studied after they die. There is a difference.
@@MayerAudax agreeed!!
@@MayerAudax thats what i meant though, they wanted to die to have their bodies studied and be helpful after.

Glad to hear that and thank you for watching!
I have been a human for 32 years
not gonna lie this is such a good channel to learn about the human body
Do you lie regularly?

Yep, i wish if he was my biology teacher lol
Recommended to my sis and I wouldn't recommend doing than u less they study biology
Can you please make another video, devoted to constipation? Considering how many people have it as a problem, I believe it deserves attention, and will perfectly match this side of the story 😀

Yes

So we are as healthy as our digestion and it pays us back in freedom from disabling illnesses. I’ll also add, that my husband’s mother had had cancer of the bowel, followed by cancer for the cervix, cancer of the uterus, of the ovaries and breast cancer. Breast and prostate cancer are provoked by the estrogen in dairy milk which acts as an actual estrogen as it is mammalian and not from plants. People think soy is a danger but the plant-estrogen in soy is called “estrodial” and it is not molecularly the same shape, but does attach to our cells and grabs and pulls in calcium into bones. By attaching to estrogen receptors, it can and does, by doing so, it blocks the estrogens produces by both men and women and thereby makes one safer from getting cancers of these two types so it is judged to be “protective”. Not that the conditioning of “soy makes man boobs” - not true. My husband eats soy and his lost weight on this diet, whereas he is not skinny, he does not need to wear a bra, not even a training one. Men in the Orient have much more soy than even I eat and are they growing boobs? Not if they are on their traditional diet. Only when they eat fast-food and adapt our western diet do they then become as riddled with diseases like we have.
So is the Standard American diet a healthy diet? You tell me. A diet which keeps you well is the healthy one. We are heavily brainwashed and we get shows pictures of double and triple meat cheeseburgers with cheese on each patty, pizzas now with double cheese and cheese in the crust. We put cheese on everything and even vegetables which then aren’t healthy for us either.
Cancer of the bowel is dreadful to have, I won’t have to suffer this now. The Standard American Diet also promotes diabetes as it is so high in fat, the fat seeps into our muscle cells and they are full up and won’t take the sugar out of the blood. This is the mechanism of Type II Diabetes. Dr. John McDougall gets his Starch-Based diet clients off their meds inside of one week usually in his health seminars where you stay for 11 days. And these people stick with the diet as they are lighter and now full of energy and of course, no longer constipated. He has so much good science behind him as does Dr. Michael Gregor, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Milton Mills, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, to name a few. My doctor when I lived in Lancaster, CA, taught seminars on Plant-Based eating and lost weight himself but did not discover that it was good to cure diabetes and both his father’s feet were amputated. He could not save his own father. Dr. Lawenda, now works with Kaiser podiatrists to save diabetics from losing their feet as if they are willing and most all would be, to go plant-based, their feet pink back up whereas they need a amputation but this reverses the first stages of gangrene. How far it can reverse it, I don’t know, but I do know he has kept people from losing their feet.
So a healthy gut makes healthy blood, makes our minds work better and yes, it solves the constipation problem too.
Can you add hirchsprung's to the discussion please?
@@courag1wow... thanks for sharing your story
Jonathan, you did amazing explaining how "pooping" works. And keeping a straight face and being very professional the whole video was great. Again, another great video.

I’ve never been more entertained/educated by the anatomy of pooping!
Lol. Glad to hear it!
@@theanatomylab thanks for another great video brather
@@theanatomylab thank you for teaching me how pooping works
🤣
I'm a first-year EMS student and randomly stumbled upon this channel. Quite cool gotta say, helps to understand anatomy a bit more and is interesting to see human parts IRL and not just drawings/animations.
This exertion of pressure on the walls of the colon can lead to diverticulitis, which unfortunately I've had to deal with multiple times. I'm very leery of applying too much voluntary muscle pressure while performing a BM because I'm fearful of inviting inflammation of a diverticulum -- especially if a sizable chunk of undigested food makes its way into a diverticulum and gets lodged there. My first episode almost killed me, because I didn't know what was happening or what diverticulitis was -- and by the time I went to the ER the inflamed diverticulum had perforated, and peritonitis was beginning to set in.
This is not something to be played with or de-emphasized, and is one reason why I'd recommend a colonoscopy for anyone over the age of 40. It isn't just cancer you have to worry about; diverticulosis CAN be problematic, and so it's worth it to know whether you have any diverticula there so you can modify your diet or take it easy on your voluntary muscle pressure, or both.
As was pointed out in the video, having large, hard stools is usually caused by not consuming enough fiber and water, and also by postponing having BMs. As poop is losing fluid toward the end of the bowel, it is getting harder and more difficult to pass.
As an older adult and a survivor of diverticulitis, I can't begin to tell you how much taking a psyllium fiber supplement has helped me. I am a non-clinical employee at a hospital and this was recommended to me by one of our surgeons. I've lost weight, have more energy and I've stopped having episodes of postprandial somnolence after eating my first meal of the day.
I'm surprised that the sitting form when pooping wasn't mentioned. I've always been used to the normal seated toilets until my friend got a stool to lift her feet (won't advertise the brand name) to use while pooping and I used it.
It's soooo......much easier. When I developed pregnancy related constipation, I got one for myself and family and it really helped to pass the stool. I still had to eat more fiber than I did before but with one bowl of Bran Cereal a day, it eventually passed.
A toilet I used in Japan was built into the floor and I thought that was the weirdest thing (didn't know what to do with it). Now I wish we had those in America because it allows for a more natural method of relieving my bowels.
Definitely a topic worth discussing in a future video. Lower position tends to help with the puborectal sling mentioned in the video.
Pretty prevalent in India too!
However many use the western toilets too
We need a Squatty Potty in the UK too.
I do this too when I can. Always a much smoother experience. Though sitting or I guess technically squatting like that for too long tends to really get uncomfortable. Thankfully, the uh.. time spent as opposed to Western toilet sitting is much shorter.

please please make videos on hyperhidrosis, brain hemorrhage, atherosclerosis & aneurysm, cystic fibrosis, why damage to temples can be fatal, sharp pain around chest area that makes inhalation harder then goes away after a few seconds (sorry i dont know what its called). i haven't seen any videos about eyes so are you planning on doing any?
i love the way you and justin teach and look forward to your videos!
We have a list of conditions that we are going to do videos on, and those are on the list. We are currently working on eye dissections, so stay tuned! Thanks!
@@theanatomylab I recently saw a video on my recommended list for a eyeball to bounce. I assumed it was from this channel and marked it for later viewing but can't bring myself to watch it. I'll check the video listing on this channel later to confirm if it came from here or not.
Recommend putting a warning in when you do produce this video before showing the eyeball itself. I get squeamish (I know others do too) with anything involving direct interaction of the eyeball but still like to listen to the information while looking away.
They already did the sharp chest pain video. Theyre called side stitches
Higher than a side stitch, is a “catch” inside the rib cage, above the diaphragm. Feels like an ice pick for a second, so painful breathing stops involuntarily. But, literally a second later, it’s gone. I would get them as a kid, once or twice a year. Very memorable.
Only you can talk about this subject in the way you do and get away with it.
I’d probably be laughing the whole time 😅😂
Haha Thanks!!

It’s the appendix missing, right? I love this channel! It’s a great anatomy reminder! I am in sonography school and currently takin cross sectional anatomy, so this is a big help 🙏🏼♥️
I think prior to that cadaver’s death and dissection, there was a problem with the appendix of that person, so they did surgery to take it out. Then the person lived till it died and was dissected.
@@FlatEarthKiller the person died of cancer, as you can see on their liver
@@REIGNREDOX ok 👍
Since we are talking about the missing part that should be attached to the Cecum,
It would be pretty interesting to see a separate video on the appendix and how it has been misunderstood for a long time, as wel as the potential function it might play in stabilizing the microbiota.
Man you must be psychic. I just sat down to poop when you posted this.

You've come a loooong way since UCMT! Congrats dude!
I am not studying or practicing human anatomy. I have no business watching this videos. I honestly just find the videos cool
The appendix should be there…I think.
Thanks for your videos, I love them, so informative and cool to see the internal structures.
That's what I want to say, but looking to the right of the area that joins the small and large intestine, I think I can see it.
Yep! Thanks for watching!
@@joroc homie he literally says “something is missing here if you know what it is throw it down in the comments section” when looking at the cecum
Some people have to get them removed if they are about to explode, or already exploded.

I have poop anxiety. Videos like this help me overcome that a little bit each time.
Glad it helped!
What that even mean? You're scared the poop will... Never heard, kindly explain
@Da Booty Hole Lover My mother has that. She is 91 yo. It is amazing and terrifying. She subconsciously is able to hold it.
@Da Booty Hole Lover I have this 🙄 early on in the start of my relationship with my BF we went on a holiday for 3 days together and I legit couldn't poop the whole 3 days 🙃😭
The medical term is parcopresis (and the same for peeing is called paruresis). They're forms of social anxiety and the method of treatment usually involves exposure therapy (not literally - you start by letting someone you trust get closer to you when you're in a safe bathroom until you feel able to go and try in an empty public bathroom etc). But for some people, it can be so severe they simply can't go at all in public - a small number of folk even have to use intermittent self-catheterization if they can't overcome their body's response to let them pee in public, because it can cause real problems - aside from discomfort, there's the risk of UTIs, constipation etc. But I definitely recommend that if you're suffering from a shy bladder or bowel, that you go look up some of the support sites and maybe see your doctor if it's really affecting you (i.e. you can't go out because of the anxiety, you're not peeing all day etc). I say this as someone who used to have the WORST case of paruresis and parcopresis as a child and teenager (and even now, as an adult, I am still not completely free of the anxiety, but I can, at least, use the bathroom when I need to). At least, as long as I don't have to deal with having diarrhoea. Then the anxiety comes back REALLY badly.
Appendix is missing 2:02
Hey Teacher the answer is The Appendix...if the appendix gets inflamed it is commonly removed by a procedure called Appendectomy( A small incision at the right lower quadrant of the Abdomen)
I've been constipated my whole life. I definitely don't take poop for granted
Hi Jonathan, have you ever heard of the 'poop button'? It is a pressure point that is located 3 finger widths below the navel. If you are having trouble evacuating, you can apply pressure there and it makes you have the urge to poop. I was skeptical but I have tried it several times and it definitely works. I'm just wondering what the science around this would be?
It's also why a tight belt can cause the movement urge that subsides when you get there and loosen it. I forget why though so the video would be great
You said it, it's a poop button!
@Sarah Beacom 😆 ha ha a complex machine we are
It's reflexology
I think my belly is to fat, its not working. Vaseline and plastic gloves are great when it feels like your butt hole is going rip in half after being plugged up. Lube up bung hole before you go.
that is not factual
LOL
I like that
it's good to have a shitty subject once in a while
😂
LOL
Oh crap, truth! 😆
Yes lol😆
So interesting! I love how you explain the way our bodies work. Thank you all for your hard work. 💕💕💕
Thank you for watching!
VERY eloquent description, I truly had no idea how many different things were involved with an almost involuntary bodily function, thank you so much for the explanation! I can't wait to share this knowledge with my anatomically curious friends! Happy Thanksgiving 🍗🍠
I'm having a right hemicolectomy to remove a couple of large polyps. The surgery was supposed to take place on the 18th but I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia so the surgery had to be postponed yet again. I just hope I don't end up with an ostomy bag....even a temporary one.
This channel reminds me of when I took anatomy back when I was in Nursing back 25 years ago. This is so detailed that I wish I was a personal trainer or something that deals with the anatomy of people.
Well I am a biology student and these videos are so helpful to watch rather than just imagine everything. Glad I found this channel, thanks to CZcams algorithm.
Thanks for watching!
@@theanatomylab I’m not a nurse or doctor but took Animal Health Technology & have always enjoyed learning more medical info on our body! In fact, I avidly do research on both Animal & human health & anatomy. And I don’t go on ‘forums’, but love reading medical journals & if I could afford some medical textbooks I would! If I could afford ‘Guyton’s Physiology’ I’d buy it today! Thanks for your videos! Btw: I earlier commented that it’s the appendix that is missing!
No other channel can explain you these things deeply, kudos 👏👏❤
Thank you!
These videos need to be counted as CEUs because I’m learning more watching this than anything they make us watch at the lab.
I'm a student nurse, and I'm doing a placement in a surgical ward that deals a lot with diseases in the bowel. So I see a lot of stomas at the moment. They essentially put a hole in the abdomen going through the large intestine and allow fecal matter that is still liquid to pass through into a bag stopping the need for the muscle contractions. They can be either high or low output and is only done if there is something seriously wrong with the bowels and like the rectum can also collect air in them.
Young man, a great many of us, unfortunately, have never able to take pooping for granted.
This is undoubtedly a true and wise comment.... Thanks Betzi!
I have gastroparesis, IBS and a week pelvic floor. As a disabled person my abdominal muscles have wasted and it makes it very difficult for me to go. Eating more fiber makes everything far worse. Rather than supporting my bowel habit, fiber causes excessive painful gas that won't release for a week or longer.
I also take medications to help some of the issues I have but sadly I haven't found anything that helps the gastroparesis 😭
Gastroparesis sucks so badly. I'm guessing you tried the usual suspects (erythromycin, metoclopramide, domperidone etc)? My transit time is SO slow, and I agree, bonus fibre doesn't actually help for me, either, it just means more to come out which is even more painful and difficult. The only thing that seems to help is Movicol, but even then, it's such a pain to tweak the dose when your gut transit time is measured in double figures of days. Honestly, though, I've kinda got used to that end, it's the endless nausea and vomiting that makes me crazy.
Try eating papaya..
I had pancreatic cancer and the whipple procedure to remove it so now I struggle with gastroparesis as well. The worst thing for me is taking antibiotics. It totally wrecks my ability to pass stool. I end up with built up gas that's so bad it hurts in my upper back. Fiber backfires with me, too. What seems to help me most of all is to preserve my gut bacteria at all costs. I try not to eat things that promote poor gut bacteria. I eat a lot of fermented foods like pickles, kimchi, ginger beer (non-alcoholic), gochujang, yogurt, etc. That seems to help me stay regular.
Another thing that I do to help me pass stubborn stools is a series of stretches and bends while I'm on the porcelain throne. I also do a lot of manual manipulation of my colon by palpating across the colon to physically move the stool. Since you have a weak pelvic floor, maybe some more aggressive palpation on your colon could help move things along. You've probably tried all these things already but if not, I hope some of this helps!
@@LilyBean82 I noticed you said "had" cancer. I'm so happy for you! Praying it stays away forever. 💕 🙏
@@chrisk2426 Yes, I'm considered "cured" of the cancer thanks to the surgery. It was a brutal experience but one well worth enduring. Thank you!

I’m a truck driver and I love this channel.
@Russ Sabourin I can totally relate. When you go so long, I don't think people realize the true misery people with severe constipation feel.
I used to work night shifts. You always knew when a certain nurse had been on duty because of the number of patients who had a bowel movement overnight! It's amazing the difference it makes to an older person wellbeing when they have regular movement
Thinking about poop must make me go because I had to stop the video to use the toilet. I didn't have to go before. I, really, didn't.
Thanks alot.

Love all these vids.
I've had so much digestive problems in my life it's made me quite interested in the digestive system. Learning about it has helped me over the years to alleviate some problems and pain.
I always did know Black Friday was a really shitty day! This guy sure knows his shit.
What amazes me is when you think it’s wind and it’s not just how fast that sphincter closes back up…😂😂😂😂😂
I've been binge watching this channel since I discovered it. It's incredible content and very educational and entertaining.
Would you guys be open to a video on hernias? I've always been very interested in them since my mom has had one for my entire life. I know it's the intestines breaking through a lining but that's all I know about it. What causes them? Can they kill you? Do they hurt? My mom said hers doesn't hurt anymore but the doctors can't fix it. Will the intestinal track rot if it's torn from it's spot or is it fine so long as it's still attached as a tube?
I was just about to eat when this came out
😂
No old person ever takes "pooping" for granted, Sonny.
Interesting video! But I have a question: What happens to the body when you take an anti-diarrhoea drug like Imodium, or Loperamide? Does it control some smooth muscle telling him to immediately stop contracting? And how its effect be so quick to once you take that drug? Thank you! Also, how come when we have a number two, we almost always have a number one as well? Does those muscle contraction affect the prostate in some way?
I don't have a prostate so they don't affect mine.
I suspect it's because when you push out your number two, those same muscles or some of the same are pushing out your number one, being pushing on your bladder and the urinary sphincter. Although in my experience number one is first, then number two, that could be due to conditioning of the act of sitting on the toilet.

Im a veterinary nursing student and these videos are so helpful! Im actually currently learning about anatomy so its relatable , even in animals.
The part that is missing I think is the appendix?
Also fun fact rabbits actually have a large caecum? Its used to absorb all the nutrients as they are hind gut fermenters . They also eat their "first faeces" called caecotrophs. This is because they dont get all the nutrients from their diet the first time round, so they eat their first droppings to regain that nutrients. (:
You are a fantastic teacher. You always keep me completely engaged till the end. Love these videos.

What happenes with poop if you can't poop and must wait for a longer time?
Water can still be absorbed, making the stool harder. Usually this isn't an issue if you are just waiting a few hours. If someone were to wait days, it could really make it difficult to have a bowel movement.
The fecies are going to be evacuated and deposited in to the toilet. Hopefully....
😂🤣😂🤣 That tiny pause made me burst out laughing
So many poop stories
Such an essential function to live and feel (!) happy
Many thanks for that episode 🤗
Any chance you could explain in future episodes how is it actually "reorganized" inside in bowel area when someone has stoma? What happens with a rectum in that case?
Glad you liked it!
Everytime he says "hopefully" I remember coprophiles exist
Even though people already said the answer I'm still going to say it cause I learned it in my anatomy class a few days ago and I'm proud that I didn't forget. The part that's missing is the appendix 😁
shit is so complex, evolution is awesome to build something like this
The timing is this video is interesting for me because I am currently suffering with some GI problems after having an anemic attack that led to a mini-stroke while going to the bathroom.
I've always had problems going to the bathroom though and wondered if it was a muscular problem, or just a nutrient problem leading to collitis.

Requesting a video on how coffee enemas work and if they help with eliminating toxins or do they hurt digestive function?
I always remembered a science lesson that was about explaining why diarrhoea is so liquid, and we were told that it's being "rushed" out of the large intestine and so doesn't have that extra water absorption - the one thing I've never forgotten, Lord knows why!
