Again saving my Gluteus just before exams. Please never stop making these extraordinary videos.

You have a gift for teaching, Dr. Morton. I have not taken any anatomy, and I only know a bit about the body from my mom's career as a nurse/nursing educator, and yet I feel I can follow along incredibly well. I've watched some of your other videos, but I wanted to come back to comment on the one that brought me to your channel because it's a complicated and circuitous process, yet you break it down so well. Beyond that, and this is a terribly under-valued skill, you make it fun. You sprinkle a few jokes in, you have the SHIING~ catchphrase that I love. An awesome combo that leads to a fantastic educator.

Hello Mr. Morton, it is such a blessing I’ve happened to come across your videos while scrolling the YouTube. I really want to say thank you with all my heart for sharing your knowledge with us. I live in Myanmar, a country quite far from you, but I gratefully accept the kindness you share. Hope to see you in person one day.
Kind regards,
❤

Your videos are amazingly easier to understand compared to all anatomy/physiology teachers I ever had. Please keep it up 🙏

[widaltaf]

Legendary
I haven’t seen a single nephrology anatomy/physiology video better than this one 💯

[louismarkov]

You do not know how much I need this video. Thank you Anatomist.

[zainulabidinzai]

Professor plz be active🥺 and upload more videos on regular basis.. We really love💕 you and wana learn from you🙏🤍

[niceguy]

Yesterday i completed my chapter on "excretory products and thier elimination".... And, today volva revision video.... Thx sir

[atitayaroumwong]

Thank you for making video to share knowledge . Clarity on difficult and complex matters but fully explained every part understand very impressed

[RameshKuldeep]

OMG so much details with so much simplifying i don't how many i have read and how many more i have to read to know this muchh detail which you gave me in 40.min. thanku so much Doctor
I'm from India hatts off your efforts please keep making these video thanku again.

[Muniera]

You have such remarkable skill to explain physiology concepts 🙏🏼

[anchtain]

i did not finish the video yet
but i must thank you befor finishing it thank you so much
thank you for helping us and have a good day

[babashka]

Thank you for your perfectly detailed video, and thanks to the supreme designer of these extraordinary filters🙏🙏🙏🙏

[mubangamusakalu]

Wonderful video really enjoy your videos

[twanaomar]

💎Masterpiece💎 I should send this to my Histology teacher.
(Gratitudes) can not appreciate this art.

[zakirzak]

🥰😍🤩💯💯Wow, wow ... a beautiful explanation of a complex process...thank you

3:33 Great video, just would like to add that the cortical nephrons (+juxtaglomerular) have their Loop of Henle in the medulla contradicting your diagram. The difference comes from the position of the glomerulus, length of the loop of Henle, function and frequency.
8:17 Glomerular Basement Membrane is a misleading term- mainly the basement membrane part. Even though many books may use the term (Basement membrane) technically speaking, a basement membrane is comprised of a basal lamina and a reticular lamina (non existent in this case) therefore it should be called the Glomerular basal lamina.
9:54 Just for those wanting more information, podocytes have primary processes (called trabeculae) and secondary processes coming off of the trabeculae (called pedicles). These pedicles interdigitate creating the filtration slits.
At 11:30 im pretty sure that the pedicel is not a process off of the secondary processes. But if someone knows that would be great!
18:32 I was thought that the Loop of Henle was comprised of a descending straight limb, intermediate tubule and a ascending straight limb. After reading into Junqueira's you were right thanks!
Great video thank you Dr. Morton!

[reyana]

i can’t thank you enoughh such a great video

[psychiatristpsychiatrist]

Please upload the video Autonomic Nervous System Anatomy and physiology

I wish I understood those years ago 😢😢😢❤
