Episode 51 begins the Respiratory System by discussing its anatomy as well as lung volumes and capacities. It also includes my conversation with David DiVenti, instructor of Medical Assisting and Supervisor of Allied Health and Workforce Development at Camden County College in Camden County, New Jersey. David talks about being a Medical Assistant, what it takes to become one, and how rewarding a career it has been for him. It’s an incredibly informative conversation about a great career option for anyone interested anatomy & physiology. You can check out David’s instagram account to learn more about Medical Assisting. David mentioned a book that inspired him called Atomic Habits by James Clear. Learn more about Atomic Habits here.

Episode 47 covers the electrical activity of the heart as well as explains the ECG. The heart is unique that it generates and conducts its own electrical signals without a need for motor neurons. For an in-depth look at the human heart and the rest of the human body, check out A&P Digital Suite for over 150 A&P tutor videos I've made, study guides, and comprehensive anatomy and physiology lab simulations. Feel free to email me at [email protected] and ask me questions. I just may answer them on the show.

This episode covers the histology of cardiac muscle tissue including how some cardiac muscles cells generate their own electrical signals. This is how the heart beats without being innervated by neurons. I also talk about coronary artery disease and bypass surgery. Remember to email me at [email protected] if you have questions and visit my youtube channel. Tell your professors about A&P Digital Suite where they can assign 155 of my tutor videos as well as industry-leading A&P lab simulations.

This episode covers capillary exchange, the way our blood delivers and receives materials to and from the tissues. I also invite you to listen to conversations I had with my colleagues at the Annual National Conference of the Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS). I got to talk to professors, authors, publishers, and anatomical model creators. www.judinath.com www.anatomicexcellence.com

Today's episode is about blood pressure. It's not just something we avoid, it's essential for our circulatory system to function. We focus on hydrostatic pressure and work out a formula to to calculate resistance to flow. We also discuss coronary artery disease and why it is the leading cause of death in the world. Please feel free to email me with your questions and maybe I'll answer them in a future episode. [email protected]

Today we tackle the anatomy of blood vessels. Arteries, veins, and capillaries, oh my! What are they made of? What does that tissue do? What's the difference between them? All these questions are answered in Episode 42. I also answer a listener question about blood plasma from Eliza in Melbourne, Australia.

In 2018, triathlete and skydiver Jason Dennen was in a catastrophic skydiving accident that put him in a coma for 8 days, broke 20 bones, damaged several organs, and dislodged his heart from the pericardial sac. Doctors were shocked he reached the hospital alive. Within a year of the accident and being told he wouldn't be able to run again, Jason completed a triathlon. This episode is entirely devoted to hearing Jason's story of how he was injured, how he recovered, the healthcare practitioners involved, family, friends, and faith. You can find out more about Jason at www.jasondennen.com and see how to get his book or meet him at one of his many book signing events. You can also follow him on instagram at @jwdboulder. Jason's story is also chronicled in Men's Health Magazine, which you can read here: https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a45025800/skydiving-accident-triathlon-transformation-jason-dennen/

In this episode we begin our coverage of the circulatory system with some general information, functions, and an introduction to blood. We discuss red blood cells (erythrocytes), their production, and blood type. I also answer a listener question about hormone-disrupting chemicals. The website I used as a source for that answer is https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/endocrine.

This episode is a deep dive into the hypothalamus and the pituitary. There are 70+ hormones in the body and these two small structures are responsible for 14 of them. With the hypophyseal portal system and the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract, we can visualize the intricate connection between these two. The pituitary is known as the "master gland," but as we can see, it does nothing unless the hypothalamus tells it to. We also have a little fun discussing when and how hormones were discovered.
