The way he zoomed in and adjusted the camera to see the sponge bone deeper into the bone was incredible GREAT CAMERA WORK

[EKGaming]

These videos help me understand how much my body does for me and honestly encourage me to take better care of it. It's the most precious thing a person owns.

[drtusharsrivastava]

Being an oral and dental surgeon myself, i ve attended numbers of lectures, but you my friend, have a unique ability of imparting education. Keep in up! Wish all institutes make Anatomy this interesting! Kudos

[dr.kujojotaro]

Props to the guy who gave his skeleton away just for this video, he should be happy when he gets it back.






Edit: I made a new comment to thank every last one of you for the likes.
GOOD LUCK FINDING IT DOE, HAH! GOTTEM!

To think that the real skeleton was once a living human being with names and story of their own, is kinda scary and disturbing that we're only seeing it as "bones" now.

[YenneY]

This series is so fascinating to me that I've written in my will that I'm donating my body to science after I die.

I want to take a second and say thank you. Thank you for all of your work, you've managed to somehow give the perfect balance of educational, entertaining, interesting but relevant information. It's not just basic facts that aren't very interesting.. your content is just awesome, no other word for it. ♡

I'd love to be able to talk with these guys about my bones.

I have bone marrow cancer.
It's called Myelofibrosis.
Basically, the way I understand it, instead of my bones creating nice healthy bone marrow/red blood cells...they're creating scar tissue instead.
The task of creating my blood cells has fallen onto my poor spleen.
And since my spleen is working overtime...it's horribly enlarged and painful.
My cancer also creates a lot of liver issues/pain.
I'm tired *all the time* and my only "cure" is a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, it took the drs a good decade to figure out what was wrong with me (they literally just told me that I was lazy), and at this point, in the transplant surgeon's opinion, I have so much organ damage that I probably won't survive a transplant. So I get to live with this until my body finally gives up.

I have a funny feeling that looking inside my body would be extremely interesting/disturbing.

I look ok on the outside (which is part of the reason my diagnosis took SO long to happen), but my insides are an absolute mess.

I love this channel SO much!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the rest of us!

To be honest...
As curious as I am about my condition...I really don't want to know all of the nitty-gritty details.
It's too scary. 😑

I’m always amazed this content is available to everyone in this country. We’re so lucky it’s so well done.

[GwynEllisHughes]

You asked if we've ever had a bone break. Well here goes:- 1. fractured left femur, 2. Book fracure to pelvis, 3. 3 ribs, 4. Right shoulder, 5. Right clavicle, 6. Skull. As well as 2 dislocated hips, and far TOO MANY soft tissue and nerve damage. All happened when I was hit by a hit & run car. I was walking.

You mention the pain receptors in the membrane around the bone
I fealt no pain at all! I was not knocked out. But, the pain kicked in with VENGEANCE the moment the paramedics started to scrape me off the road, and on to a spinal board. The trip to the hospital in the ambulance was pain multiplied 1, 000% they gave me the maximum amount of painkillers, but nothing worked!

I have always said that I'd never complain about pain again, after going through that journey from hell. Lol.

10 weeks in hospital, as well as 1 in ICU. I spent 2 years in a wheelchair I was told I'd never walk again! But with everlasting thanks to ALL the medical staff of the NHS. I spent another year and a half on crutches. And now I'm able to walk (sometimes with a stick) but I can walk!

Addendum: you mention how bone marrow keeps us alive. It almost killed me. Apparently some of my bone marrow from the fractured femur got in to my bloodstream and settled in my lungs. Didn't feel a thing, until a nurse got me to move in my hospital bed, so she could rearrange my pillows. Suddenly I couldn't breathe! Not in or out! I panicked, the nurse realised I was suffocating, so she hit me so damn hard on my back that I coughed up a fatty clot (fatty embolism) I grabbed my water glass, and the clot filled it. I got rushed to ICU & put on an alcohol drip.

These videos make me feel strangely protective of my body every time I watch them, and make me want to at least try harder to do better by this physical form the more I learn about what it does for me without even being asked. Fantastic content, very educational and thought-provoking, this is a great way to inspire people!

[genner-vincenthodgson]

Watching this because I've been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer for the past 5 years, will update my reaction once I've reached the end of the video











Update: This was very comprehensive, and I really like the use of real bone and cadavers, my ultimate respect to those who donated their body to science. This information allowed me to realize I don't just have 'bone marrow cancer' but 'red bone marrow cancer, ' which is the cause of my body over producing red blood cells and platelets(diagnosed with polycythemia vera)

[guttom]

whoever's bone this is when its still alive. we appreciate your help on studying human anatomy.

may you have the best afterlife. you rock!

[jaquelinetamara]

Jonathan looks so young for the amount of knowledge he has! I am always impressed, great job!

[minzeronlg]

2 years ago my brother got him self into a motorcycle accident and broke his leg and there were so many brpken tissue but thank God the doctor was so experienced he said that he can fix my brother leg even tho his great blood vessel was tear in pieces he still manage to survive with less blood loss, thank to the people who act fast and stop his bleeding

[ratkutti]

As some who broke his clavicle into 3 and endured the pain to have it rejoin on its own naturally without surgery, thanks to Keloids thag runs in my family I never clicked on one of your videos faster than I clicked on this one. Thank you for educating so many people with your work here. Love it.

[MukMn]

2 things that always fascinate me when watching your videos
1. How immensely complex the human body is and how these things evolved
2. How you manage to preserve these tissues without decay or losing structure

[AddictedBattle]

Dude in all my years on youtube your the first one to actually zoom in on something without everything going blurry and looking like shit also nice video dont know why it was recommended to me but it was interesting

[froggie]

This is just what I needed to know. Having a channel for learning human anatomy and the various functions of the human body is priceless, both to myself, as well as my pre-med daughter. Your contributions to public knowledge are outstanding.

Thank you!

[AlisNinsky]

That’s ok Cornelius. We use a synthetic skeleton for drawing classes to avoid possible spooks. There are places where your awesomeness is recognized!
