a way i remember the flow of ions in the nervous system is by thinking that the sodium potassium pump is REALLY selective about the + ions it lets in, it doesnt want to let in too many of them.
so Na+ ---> Nah, and 3 of them go out.
K+ ----> oKay, and 2 of them come in.

As a newly admitted medical student, I am grateful to have found this
Thanks 😘☺️

[ProFacePractice]

Thank you! I'm a physical therapist in Russia and despite the difficulties with English, it was pretty clear for me!

[NickAngeles]

You guys are really helping me pave the path to become a thoracic surgeon. Appreciate all you do C.C

[mcob]

I'm amazed, I might have learned some anatomy and physiology as an old retired chemist - who knew, but so useful. Thanks.

[penobby]

For some reason I expected Hank to be talking a lot faster 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[iuxgjve]

Wow, Hank is going now with the name Brandon Jackson, and he's a Prof!

[marianatera]

I missed the chat! I use CC to teach A&P so thank you very much for your awesome content. I have a question: why does the right side of the heart have the Tricuspid valve & the left has the Bicuspid. Why are they different?

[nateweinand]

This is a really neat idea! Keep ‘em coming please!

[Suntuze]

Good timing, my anatomy and physiology exam is next week 👍

[wendys]
