Im at a lost for words with how incredible this video is. You sir taught in 9 minutes what it took my teacher an entire lecture to teach. Thank you. I swear is there anything Khan puts out that isn't high quality content.

These videos are incredible. Thank you so much. I am so happy I found you! I'm in nursing school and reading and listening to lectures is tedious for me at times as I'm a highly visual learner. These videos bring the concepts to life and solidify my understanding! THANK YOU!

This video was awesome as well as helpful! My gf sought out wanting to know how my Adam's Apple works or why it is so big and we both were super educated! This was so great! Please continue to post more vids Doc!!! Oh yea, I'm an animator and appreciate the illustrations.. They were great!

The Adam's Apple is also called the laryngeal prominence of the thyroid cartilage.

This had a great teaching style, with the evolving picture and labels, and the erasing the top layer to the 'x ray' vision. I found this very conducive of a model for the respiratory system.

Your channel is awesome, you make boring topics look cool and interesting, and it's great that the background is quiet with no music or other sound effects which helps me personally stay focused .

Very detailed video. One suggestion I would make is to make a stronger distinction between the characteristics of the right and left bronchi. The right bronchi goes approximately 20-30° angle from the south and is shorter and wider, while the left bronchi enters at a 45-55° and is longer and more narrow. It seems pedantic, but it's quite significant because if one has something lodged in their airways there's a good chance that it goes into the right mainstem bronchi due to it's natural continuation with the trachea.

I thought "Adam's apple" was a biblical reference, haha

No one's gonna talk about how beautiful the drawing is, like holy fuck, I could neverrr! Thank you!

I noticed the in depth of difference in NCLEX lung physiology and the ones for doctors. The ones for USMLE go into ventilation and perfusion, pressure, v/q etc ..

[lesliesullins]
