Thank you so much for supporting my channel! Love ❤️.
Happy studying!!

I have been seeing many different resources saying that atmospheric O2 levels decrease as you go higher up which made me pretty mad. Thanks for actually saying that atmospheric pressure decreases and not the O2 levels.

Thank you! I appreciate your videos very much!

You’re wrong on one point: respiratory Alkalosis from hyperventilation shifts the curve to the left. It’s the Bohr effect. When blood pH is high, Hb has a greater affinity for O2.

Amazing explanation 👏. Did you happen to think of a similar video but for the extreme breath holding performance? For example - 8-10 minutes breath hold. I wonder how damaging the extreme acidosis could be in that case as well as how Bohr effect is going to affect the oxygen assimilation upon the exhale/inhale after reaching the minimal SpO2 level.

Would platelets increase too on a blood test? I had a TIA in Peru and my platelets were elevated that day - would it be related to an excess of RBC’s? Great video!

Love it man am learning stuff but what's more important than knowing this shit is understand it. Amazing by listening to you the impossible is happening . Am getting it. Brill

Hey, it's awesome to be a subsciber pf your channel.
I'd request you to make a detailed video on fatty liver and NAFLDs.

Hello can you please answer this question ?Why is the risk of Rh D alloimmunization after first birth
higher if the fetus is ABO compatible with the mother?

[Ginasgusa]

So is there anything we can do to overcome all these issues with high altitude when you don’t hv time you acclimate?

[sharmashivam]

So more O2 means more muscle?
Am I correct sir?

Most importantly, you neglected to explain why I am farting all day and night like a fart machine drip fed on baked beans and brussel sprouts up here in Quito.
