highly regret not knowing how amazing osmosis was at the start of medical school....Watching these videos right before step 1 is making me realize how much basic knowledge I don't know because it's simply not taught in this way. Osmosis literally describes WHY everything is happening in 10 minutes

among all the videos I've watched about lymphatic system, this is the most simple and detailed 10mins video that helps me understand this topic. I'm a first year college of nursing and I will be back here when I become a RN. Pray for me and God bless. Thank you!

I learned about the Lymphatic System back in Nursing School in A&P which was fascinating but over the years forgot some of it's functions. This a great recap and review of this often ignored or forgotten system. I did go to Arkansas many years ago to be seen by a Holistic Doctor who specializes in the Blood System and the Lymph System with a focus on "It's in the Blood" and the components of the blood to diagnosis health problems by observing a drop of blood under a microscope. Then he went into explaining the Lymphatic System in detail as an importance to the Immune System. Since it does not have a pump the video states how lymph is circulated, but he did point out it can be more effective by using gravity to help along with using a small trampoline to bounce on at least once a day for a few minutes to flex muscles with the use of gravity also pulling down to help circulate the lymph even better making it more effective in its job. Our bodies are just an amazing creation that even the most minute parts even into internal cellular function was divinely designed. So, we need to do our part and treat it correctly to better serve us.

I’m a new Medical Terminology student and your videos are helping me understand everything. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and professionalism you put into each video. Thank you for educating the future medical staff 🙂

Thanks for this! I'm living with chronic illnesses, and get next to no helpful info from the doctors I work with. This was great.

Man, it’s extraordinary that you explain everything so well. I study everything in spanish, but with your clarity I never get distracted by terms I don’t handle in english, as they are visually explained so I can easily deduce the spanish counterpart of the term. I really love your videos dude!

Great video. Explains well and the subtitles allow easy writing of notes when pausing the video. One of the best videos I have watched

[oscaralejandroramirezramir]

Great video... lymphatic system is still underestimated although it plays such a big role. Really nice that you guys made this.

This is my first time seeing a video from this channel. I was only 2 minutes in, and I'm already a subscriber!

Everything from the script to the voice to the animated diagrams are brilliantly straightforward, informative, and concise.

Osmosis is the best channel o have came across since I started med school, it's just amazingly helpful, short, the content is interesting not boring, the speaker speaks clearly which is amazing for non-native English speakers and the list go Keep up the good work please you are just amazing

[edamused]

This is one of the best medical information videos I have seen on you tube. The voice was clear and strong, easy to understand. The diagrams were simple and self-evident. Congratulations, A job well done.

This is the perfect video about the lymphatic system. I loved it. Thank you. I was really confused but now my concept is clear.

i agree with you ! even in my nursing studies this wasnt given so much attention. then as i worked as a nurse, i couldnt figure out how they just simply cut it off when blockages starts building up. Im now practicing therapeutic lymphatic drainage massage and just with precise maneuver could do so much wonder to properly function again without pharmaceutical medication or under the knife procedures.

[mjchecksfield]

Finally after years of reading other books on the subject this video puts it all together so I now understand in full what the lymphatic system does! Thank you!

You need a mean arterial pressure of 60 to maintain perfusion across the capillary walls.

This lesson was brought to you by something I learned yesterday.

[faeezasaleemhashmi]

In total awe of how this guy puts all of it into simple bits! Osmosis, are you concentrated (in knowledge) because I feel myself being drawn to you?

[SaadmanSaif]

I'm blown away with the video. I'm just thinking about why I didn't hear about this channel before. I hope that you guys will make more educational videos and help students learn their materials easier and faster. Keep up the work.

Very good diagrams and animations and clear narrative. However I had to pause at 6:50 as the explanation around here becomes incorrect. Dendritic cells sample antigen in the peripheral tissues, at the site of infection e.g. skin, gut, lung. Then are activated, migrate to the lymph node (you say that they pick up antigen in the lymph node which is incorrect). Also they present antigen to T cells, not B cells. T cells become activated and are important for the activation of B cells. You may read in the literature or text books about 'follicular dendritic cells' which present antigen to B cells as part of the activation process and I think that is what you are referring to here, but these are completely different cells to 'dendritic cells' and the similar name is just because they look similar (both have spindley protrusions aka dendrites).
