Metabolism & Nutrition, Part 2: Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology #37

If you're like us, you love the sound of a brunch buffet. But not everything you eat at that glorious buffet is going to be turned into energy. Your body has to work with different forms of food in different ways. In this episode of Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology, Hank takes us through more about our metabolism including cellular respiration, ATP, glycogenesis, and how insulin regulates our blood sugar levels.

Pssst... we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode! Find them on the free Crash Course App!

the graphic animations are always so cute they're honestly the best part of crash course

[Stevo]

I play most youtube videos at 1.5x speed. Crashcourse is 0.5.

One time I saw Hank Green in the Good Food Store in Missoula and it was the best day of my life

If I could, I'd give this a million likes. I can't like it enough. A single "like" is terribly insufficient. This video will be incredibly helpful to my students when we cover diabetic medications and cholesterol drugs (which of course, are only used when diet and exercise aren't enough). Based on the responses I see here in the comments, it's clear that many people have had experience with diabetes-related and nutritional issues. But that would be an entirely different CC series... I don't suppose there are any diabetologists or registered dieticians out there who want to work on that series?
:-)

[federicahibiscus]

I love these CC sessions. The host/professor has such a loving sense of humour! It is key to making any theme available to people who´d be the leeeast interested in any given subject. He could entertain every single class because of his teaching fashion :) It´s always a pleasure to watch these vidoes. Apart from being fun and entertaining, they´re informative!!

[erikkunchan]

LOL! Nice Rick and Morty Lil' Bits reference at 8:56 !

[amandawilliams]

I LOVE YOU! PLEASE MAKE MEDICATION PHYSIOLOGY VIDEOS!!!! I watched your videos during all my bio corequisite classes which helped me get into nursing school!! Thank you so much.

[tomusn]

This series is really helping me out with the nutrition course I'm required to take! Thank you guys for your hard work.

[moosharmy]

I watch these before every A&P quiz, Hank will be responsible for my nursing degree.

[hudamahdi]

No words describes how thankful I am for watching you.
Thank you so so so much
I been reading my book for 3 days already and finally I understand how it’s working after watching this 10 min video
Thank you

[ouafallouz]

everyone needs a guy like Hank in their lives to make everything interesting !

[jaimie]

Great video. Understanding how your body handles food can go a long way in helping to make healthier choices in a way that nagging just doesn't do. I remember eating donuts and a Pepsi for lunch every day in middle school. I wasn't overweight, so I didn't see any reason to change. After I learned what was going on in my body when I ate, and the reasons eating a healthier diet was important (and the consequences of not doing so), it actually made me stop and think every time I ate. Years of nagging from my parents couldn't have gotten through to me like this kind of knowledge. Decades later, I still think about it when planning meals.

7:57 and if that fails it starts a process known as Gluconeogenesis Evangelion

[yugiohfanful]

I love the intro and the jokes in them xD "it takes guts to learn anatomy" while pointing to the guts "Hank normally wears a helmet, RIDE SAFE, " And my favorite "EVEL KNIEVEL IS FROM MONTANA!!, "

[devynnwithns]

Watching both metabolism and nutrition crash courses repeatedly because my ap2 instructor “ran out of time” and completely skipped the chapter but still wants us to understand everything for the exam coming up 🙃

[infitnesslovbymariasalinas]

Thank you for giving such detailed but simple to understand explanations of the body processes. The images help me to grasp the concepts and makes learning fun! I really appreciate your help and your sense of humor.😁

[lagoonroom]

I love this so much! Thank you for making such amazing vids!!

[ol]

It's nice to see that someone can make learning interesting for children. My little brother enjoys your videos and it helps him learn and elevate to a higher academic level, (BTW he's in high school). Remember to keep up the good work man.

[DaylnBryant]

Great work guys! Learning more here than I do in University!
