I like the fact you drew the right kidney lower than the left. Great attention to little details!

[munazzaahmedsadaf]

I go to college as a formality and come home, educate myself through your videos. I owe you so much. You are literally a life saver. Thank you

[hollyd]

You make the best anatomy and physiology videos that I have seen yet. Thank you so much!!

[markanthonytom]

it is the distal tubule that form the juxtaglomerular apparatus together with the afferent and efferent arterioles and containing the macula densa. it is not the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

I've been a nurse (now Nurse practitioner) for 24 years.. What a treasure you are for sharing your knowledge and talent. I am so excited to share this with all of the nurses and nursing students I can. Having a solid understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology makes everything fall into place. I wish nursing programs focused more heavily on this. THANK YOU!!!!

[SuperPeacefulguy]

"Hope that make sense", like in every video ever... well for me it does :)

[KimNswati]

Thanks a just don't know how you've helped me

[PleiadianSister]

Man... You have no idea how much you've helped me. I've had an absolutely terrible physiology teacher and you explain things so easily and simply! Thank you so much, I love all of your vids!

[devanmodi]

i will definitely support you after completing my medical studies for now keep making videos like this, it helps a lot. thank you so much.

[zachwiebe]

watching with subtitles is pretty damn funny

[LisDafota]

this kind of educative videos are much more atractive and interesting than our DMD old lectures, thnx alot helped me too much

[tiffanyh]

How does one be good at both biology AND art at the same time? Thanks man!

[ShahulHameed-mude]

It was soo clear..I understood everything..Ma sha Allah!
Can you PPLLEEASSEE explain reabsorption and transport in nephrons

[suannesaaiman]

Dude!!! You just gained yourself another subscriber! well done and thank you so much...

[xiaochen]

I think the diameter of afferent glomerular arteriole is larger than the efferent glomerular arteriole. Maybe you drew it wrong.

[XxAoifexX]

You've saved lives :) Thank you. 

[abbasabbass]

Brilliant thanks ❤. Pictures= 1000word + great explanation = magic

I believe that the macula densa cells are in the Distal Convoluted Tubule rather than the thick ascending limb.

[xDomglmao]

In case you guys were wondering, I researched a bit and understood:

Juxtaglomerula apparatus= juxtaglomerular complex

1) Extraglomerular mesangial cells = Lacis cells (called like this because of the interlacing processes separated by a BM) = Polkissen cells (called like this because of the polar cushion like structure (in German kissen= pillow)); and these are themselves continuous with the intraglomerular mesangial cells = inner mesangial cells = glomerular mesangial cells

2) Juxtaglomerular granular cells = juxtaglomerular cells = Goormaghtigh cells (named afer Norbert Goormaghtigh)

3) And I guess the macula densa is considered sometimes to be part of the LoH instead of the distal conv. tubule because some see the thick ascending limb as part of the LoH.

Dividing up the glomerulus into smaller parts isn't as simple as it seems in the first place, there's a lot of controv. around this topic and also stuff like old terminology vs. new (however not fully accepted) terminology...

Hope it helps!

Thank you for these videos. I appreciate the care you have put into these information-packed presentations. The fast pace is helpful too.
