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.
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
@@shadeiquechase2642go to a periodontist so he can diagnose you properly. the likely cause of bone loss is an inflammation in the structures that hold your tooth in its place. the cause of the inflammation can be many things. from bad oral hygiene to lifestyle habits and even genetics. this was just my 2 cents as a dental student. but again, you should definitely check out a dentist so you are diagnosed properly.
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 could only imagine the pain you’re in everyday, I could only imagine the nonstop agony you go thru in all aspects of life. I have aplastic anemia and your cure is my only cure too. I’m only 20 years old but I know anyone above that, will have a much harder time. I wish you the best and if you ever need someone to talk too just let me know! I’ll be getting a bone marrow transplant soon so I’ll be in the hospital for a month and some change, I will have nothing but time.
I’m with you,I have multiple myeloma,a blood and bone marrow cancer. I have a fine line between needing to understand and too much and totally freaking out. I had an autologous stem cell transplant. It was really hard and helped some but I’m not sure it was worth it. Now have monthly infusions and chemo pills every day. Hope you can find some better help, Drs vary in opinions and knowledge. Best wishes.
Don't be scared. I know what it's like to face a serious illness that almost ended in death. Try to stay strong, and I hope that you get what you need to be well again. May you be surrounded with love and healing energy.
@@nancydavis4459 I also have multiple myeloma. I am going through my third time of treatment. I have had two stem cell transplants (autologous) and now face aT cell transplant. It is definitely not easy to go through. Only with Jesus' help.
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. ♡
Never thought I would find human anatomy videos as fascinating as I do. I watch this channel religiously. When I die, please delete my internet history.
@@theanatomylab would you mind doing a video on certain nerve diseases and death? I have a friend who got into an accident on his bike and has ankylosis spondylitis.
Can’t wait to see you in the video, Good Luck. Really hope you live as long as possible but when the time comes I’ll be watching you. Cheering. Giving you the credit you deserve now because you’ll be a skeleton by then and can’t really thank you.
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!
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!
when u give your skeleton for medical research/study. They don't give it back to u. I am still waiting for mine. Seems like I have to spent the rest of me life without one :(
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)
It's so refreshing to see people in the medical field doing these for free. Much respect!!! Even if i already knew most of these, no one mentioned the placing of red bone marrow to me before, pretty shocking it's not everywhere.
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.
Make up a backstory for the skeleton. Like an actor prepares for a character in a play. Then it’s not bones but a person with an amazing structure inside.
Not true, we can see these bones as ones belonging to a true hero, imagine giving up your actual bones just for the sake of science. A real hero, honestly. God bless this person's bones.
Thank you, Institute of Human Anatomy - you have an excellent channel. Not only do you promote higher learning, but also, you keep the flame of human intelligence and scientific curiosity going. In a world that has gone so wrong, you are a reminder that we as mankind have a higher calling than just the drugs, the parties, the degeneracy, and the murder of so many of our fellow men (and women). Keep up the good work - and as always, your videos are educational and a pleasure to watch. By the way - I could be wrong, but compact bone is also known as cortical bone, and spongy bone can be called cancellous bone. The human femur also has a strange bend toward the dorsal plane. It is often not in a straight line, as seen in profile, from the acetabulum to the tibial plateau, it falls, then bends slightly backwards somewhere in the middle. A sort of bow...
We should stop judging people's intelligence based off how young they are or look. A lot of us look younger because we didn't spend time ruining our skin with smoking and sun baking.
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
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This has helped me with my nursing class so much. We are doing muskuloskeletal this semester and this video has broke it down more and being able to show the real thing helped tremendously!! Thank you so much I hope you make more videos!!
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!
Love everything about this video. Easy to understand for a lay person, lively, tastefully humorous and entertaining even as you handle corpses and skeletons. I wish I had educators this good growing up. You guys should get an award. So far half a million viewers of all ages watched and learned something valuable without having to go to school. This is the future of education. Take a handful of rock star educators like yourselves and scale it to a million people. Learn stuff at random and on your own time, with native curiosity being the only driver! Kudos!
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 tree..... 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.
@@theanatomylab Yeah, bikes are equal fun as they are dangerous but that's also part of the fun. Thank you. Speaking of Keloids, have you come across any body with it? I know what it is but secretly I always wanted to see a dissection of one of it. Just to see the collagen and blood forming it.
This channel is great! It completely amazes me every video about what an incredible functioning organism our bodies are! Working 24/7 for years to take care that we have life! It is such a mind blowing thing.
Yes I agree years ago I used to work in a high school that had two real skeletons I believe one was from India and the school was terribly haunted especially the girls toilets in the lower part of the high school it caused caretakers to not want to be there on their own, I don’t work there anymore but I’ve heard that they’ve got rid of the real skeletons but I don’t know if it had anything to do with the hauntings they said it was a change of policy something about not allowing the use of real skeletons they had to be fake.
Carolyn Aitken In the past, I had handled real skeletons in art school that borrowed them from a local hospital. As a student, I had always treated all human remains with respect and be gentle in handling each bone. After that, I never had nightmares or sleep paralysis. If you are disrespectful and rough with them, you will have trouble from vindictive souls. I read somewhere that a gravedigger once dropped a skull onto a hard ground. After that, he had a pounding headache.
I broke my femur from being hit by a car off my bicycle (many over injuries as well), they hollowed out the femur and installed a metal rod along with some screws through my knee and hip to hold it in place. Thank you for this video as I’ve always been curious what they might have removed and what impact it had on my body. Keep doing great and informative content.
I have full length rods in both femurs and a plate in my left forearm from where they took bone and blood vessels to graft to left femur to get it to start to heal.
I’ve had 7 bone marrow biopsies. And if you’re curious, I always described it as a piece of grated cheese and thats because they literally grind out just a small piece from the back of your pelvis. I had a bone marrow transplant back in November 2018 for acute myeloid leukaemia (triliniage dysplasia/MDS that had already started developing into aml but they treated it as aml). When ever I talk about the bone marrow, I usually say that your bone marrow is as essential as your heart because you can literally not survive without a functioning bone marrow. It is your blood factory! As I like to call it.
My Dad was just in the hospital in and out of the ICU because his Red Blood Cells were literally blowing up and falling apart… So many doctors were stumped. Thankfully they pulled in a Hematologist (a blood doctor) who figured out what was going on. He has Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. Basically, his white blood cells were attacking his red blood cells as if they were foreign objects or even a disease and DESTROYING THEM! He’s had to have several bags of blood transfused, IVIG Therapy (Intravenous Immune Globulin) which is a blood product made up of antibodies that can be given intravenously (in an IV). They also put him on a REALLY HIGH AMOUNT of steroids (like Prednisone). He finally was able to come home last night but will be going to MANY doctor specialists’ appointments for many weeks to come. I’m just happy that they finally figured out what was wrong… we almost lost him 😔 He is 74 years old but is still 6 ft. 5 in. tall and doesn’t look or act his age. My many prayers were answered over the past week! I was so excited to see you cover how and where all the blood cells are created in a person’s body! 😁 Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
My sister got diagnosed with Autoimmune disorder as well. Her body wasn't accepting any food and lot more other symptoms. She was on meds for a long time and now everything is fine. And she is going great.
Wow 😯! Did your father had you when he was older? Praying for you and your family! The older we get the body starts breaking down. But I’m sure your father is proud to see you grow! How old are you? You sound like great child! God bless you and your family!
First, I want to thank you all for the wonderful videos you provide. I am currently recovering from an Inter-trochanteric fracture of my femur. It was my first break, and frankly, not nearly as painful as I thought it would be, in fact, the fall that caused the fracture is one that I have experienced many times before.... the only indication that something was wrong, was when I stood up, I fell right back down.
This is one of my favourite YT channels!!! We were never taught this information at school, but why? We only get given one body to live in, we SHOULD know how it works!! Respect to our amazing, beautiful bodies 🥰🥰🥰 Our bodies work so hard for us, without us even trying or having to think about it ❤️❤️❤️
Our little one (now 11) has "needles" (rods) hiding in her femurs. She had them placed when she was a baby, she has Osteogenesis imperfecta. She has had several fractures and is on Zometa to strengthen her bones. She plans on being an Pediatric orthopedic surgeon when she is an adult. Thanks for your videos. Very informative!
Since you asked... I broke my femur in a traffic accident 4 years ago. According to the doctors it was quite a task to put together all the fragments again. My right leg is about 15mm shorter now. Also it seems, the periosteum suffered a lot of damage and I developed a pseudoarthrosis, which means, there is still a hole in the bone. The initial fracture was fixed with a PFN, which was switched to a stronger one a few months later. Last year we (the doctors) extracted bone marrow from my left femur and applied it to the bone on the right. It helped. A little.
It's part of a Teachers job to make their students fell clueless! Otherwise we would be calling them out for their stupidity all the time! Works the same way with 'most' Doctors! They always want to be the smartest person in the room! Lol
I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia a decade ago. It’s a disease where the bone marrow fails. It’s thought that it’s an autoimmune disease, however, more research needs to be done to know for sure. I started with an immune suppressant treatment plan but that didn’t work so I got a bone marrow transplant and that worked great. Also, during that time I had tons of blood transfusions in order to keep my blood cell counts at a somewhat normal level and I had to wear an N95 mask everywhere in public. So I have 3 requests, donate blood if you can, sign up to be a bone marrow donor if you can, and get vaccinated to protect those, like me a decade ago, whose immune system is severely weakened. Thank you.
I have aplastic anemia in this day and age, it’s a true struggle. Not protecting myself but others doing the proper hand hygiene, etc. to protect me. I have a allogeneic bone marrow transplant in a month exactly and I can’t wait to get back to living life again. Im in the hospital right now cause of an infection and it’s interesting to look in the mirror knowing I look so healthy and happy but also knowing I’m on thin ice everyday. If anyone knows someone with aplastic anemia, please take them seriously with precautions or don’t be around them at all.
Man, i feel you, i am currently diagnosed with aplastic anemia and under immune suppressant treatment. You are lucky if you got bone marrow transplantation, because we couldnt find 100% compatible donor, but gladly i am able to stabilise my condition with cyclosporine immune suppressive treatment and one course of anti-thymocyte globulin treatment)
@@bigp9983 i feel you, man, was diagnosed with aplastic anemia september 2020. 6 month in various hospitals, had gone through tons of erythrocytes and thrombocytes transfusion. Now under constant immune suppressive treatment (400 mg cyclosporine each day). Just believe in yourself and you will get better. Hopefully we will win in the battle with this disease :)
This is the first video I've watched by you. I like how people are free to talk about their disabilities or problems with out being bullied here. That one of the many things I like about your channel.
I wish I could have had access to all those videos in my time at the school. Could have learned so much more. Thank you so much for all this information!
Hey and thank you for your videos, I've been watching you guys a lot the past year. I've been spending a long time in bed trying to recover from 2 non traumatic spinal fractures (I'm only 34 years old). Doctors have no idea why and I'm in the process of flying to another country for further tests and treatment. I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can and learn about the human body. Your channel and knowledge help a lot!
I have secondary cancer in my bones . I can’t imagine what it looks like . Is it on the outer compact bone , like a tumour or is it in the bone marrow ? From what I’ve learned now from watching I know that the one place that is bad is my spine . It’s also on the top of my head, my shoulders and femurs. Ooh ...my oncologist is going to be asked to explain in more depth now that I understand so much more about bones .😂🤣 . Thank you it all makes more sense now . I have learned so much about the body since I found your site . I never did biology at school due to moving from one teaching system in Scotland to England at the age of 13 where the new teaching system was at the stage of choosing subjects whereas I was still studying a general subject system and wouldn’t choose subjects for another year . We don’t go to secondary school until 12 years old in Scotland and they go at 11 in England .
What exactly happens when you lose bone density? I suffered from hyperparathyroidism (had it removed already) but unfortunately, even after 5 years of taking medicine for my bones, my forearm still is considered severe osteoporosis. (spine and hips have improved and are now "normal") Also suffer from kidney stones because of it. Watched your video on kidney stones before and made me really fascinated about anatomy. I've learned more here than in my science class. Thank you!!
Sorry to hear about that! We have some videos on bone density coming up, like on osteoporosis. When you look at osteoporosis, the spongy bone really loses a lot of density, like the trabeculae become "thinner." We'll be able to go into more detail on the video though...
@@SixFiftyNine Are you getting infusions or taking a pill for your osteoporosis? I worked at a chemo/hematology clinic for a long time and we would give Reclast infusions for those with bone loss but they had to take calcium supplements for the Reclast to work. I’m glad to hear your hip density is better
Yes we have that bone delicacy here in the Philippines, its called as "Bulalo" that bone marrow of cows bone really taste delicious and almost taste like butter. Its famous in the province of Tagaytay , cooked with lots of onions, lettuce, potato and with sweet corns, cooked and boiled until its soup became filled with the cows bone marrow fats serves hot!, hmmmm 😊
Cows are pretty intelligent, and raising them I bad for the environment. Plus, animal products aren't healthy anyway. It's pretty easy not to eat animals, especially cows.
Your videos honestly make my day every time you upload. You and Justin are just amazing people for taking time to educate so many of us. Thank you so much and I look forward to all future vids 🙂
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
I've gotta thank you guys for all the work you do. I personally have a love hate relationship with my physical health due to EDS and no iron absorption so I have to get iron infusions even though my hemoglobin is normal, which it's been critical to the point of almost needing a blood transfusion. My bone marrow is the main culprit to me not being able to store ferritin so this vid was perfect for my current situation.
You answered one of the questions I had in mind. Since I have learned a lot of things about Leukemia due to a family member who is treating it, I wanted to know if stem cells bone marrow is all around the skeleton or if it is located. And it makes sense, since the bone marrow extraction for analysis is made in those 2 places you mention.
Thank you. I have learned so much about my body through your sessions and realise every time that Psm 139 says it perfectly "I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." All glory to our Creator! Keep up the work you do in educating us with lessons we never got in school!
I used to teach A/P and I think bones were my favorite chapters! I had a real skeleton In the classroom…she was named Josephine Bonaparte. Most of the students never got the humor, but I felt a real connection with her. Love your videos…they are a great review for me.
I have a healing broken right femur. I see my surgeon again for X-rays today. I developed an infection in my right prosthetic hip, last summer. Had the hardware removed, using all precautions (September 2021). From September to January, X-rays showed few signs of healing. Started using a Bone-Stimulator device in January, daily, and bone is now starting to heal. I feel fortunate and want to enjoy each day as it comes.
Another great video! Since I love the way you guys explain things, may I suggest that you do a video about cervicogenic dizziness/headaches? Especially the ones that are caused by bad posture or uneven shoulders.
I am a SPT (student physical therapist) and understanding anatomy is foundamental when trying to understand what is the cause of someone's injury. Having found the channel recently, you do a fantasic job explaining the way everything is interconnected and breaking down the explanation! The cadaver's are some of the cleanest and most detailed I have seen which allows for a great learning opportunity when visuallizing the location of all the structures within our bodies. One thing I have a question about is the attachment of ligaments or tendons to bone, more so how exactly do they connect to one another? If you have a video on the topic already or resources to look into the topic, it would be much appreciated!
Watching these anatomy videos just proves to me even more what an amazing Creator we do have. Whoever wants to differ. " We didn't just come from nothing. " ....🙄 wake to people!
Thank you Jonathan the Geek Teacher and explainer! I am also a Geek curious and love, love watching your videos and Justin's videos. So knowledgeable and exciting, intricately precise calculations of the body. Thank you both so so very much!! Learning a great deal with all your videos
It tastes like greasy beef soup. But we ate it plain after roasting the bones. Maybe if we had added something acidic it would've tasted better. Love your show! I'm so thankful for your channel.
7:24 didn't expect to learn photography here and didn't know cameras can do that, though of course it can (lens equations) side note, it's actually very interesting why we make blood cells and store fat inside bones. this usually means they're important, like how your brain sits inside a skull. we make new blood cells fairly often, every 120 days, and it requires stem cells. stem cells are the blue print of all types of cells resulted from the fertilization of egg and sperm, so we safely store stem cells inside bone marrow. we also store fat inside bone marrow as they're most secure from attacks and from bacteria, as this is vital energy supply during hard times.
I love these videos. Biology in a whole is amazing.. learning your own body is just the beginning. Could you or do you already have a video on stomach ulcers and the different severities and exactly how they happen and how bad or harmless they are??
i had symptoms of anemia come on over the course of a year or so and every tested parameter about my blood was low, even blood volume. it took fainting in front of the doctor with critically low blood pressure to get taken seriously. turns out i wasn't having internal bleeding but instead the combination of medication i was on had started shutting down my red bone marrow among other things. fun! i did eventually get blood production up and running again but i get to keep surprise organ damage as a souvenir. if something feels wrong keep looking until you find a doctor who will listen to you.
I'm straight up gonna say your wrong, because I have never heard of someone being brave postmortem, or really anything else for that matter besides the occasional being buried alive situation and stuff like that. After death, you don't need to be brave, you just have to accept what comes after it, depending on what the person's beliefs were. As I see it, they're not suffering anymore.
I wish you guys could delve deeper into problems with bone marrow and transplants. My grandson, with Lukeimia, had to have a bone marrow transplant and id really like to understand it better. Hes in remission still at age 7. Praise God! Has to have a kidney transplant this summer. He does diaylis every night at home in the meantime. I'd love to understand that in the human body better too. Thx for everything you guys do! Really enjoy watching and learning! Patty
In my country, or at lest my region, (village in eastern Europe) bone marrow was considered super healthy and like a treat, a lot of older people eat it. I remember trying it as a child cuz my grandma would say I have to eat it to grow big and strong when I grow up. But I totally dont remember the flavor, just remember it had really unique texture.
The Amount of engineering our human body went through to be made is amazing. Every little detail is as much critical and important to make everything work together. And the fact that we can evolve due to our environment, our body’s ability to adapt throughout time is just fantastic. Whomever made us 👏👏👏👏👏👏
These videos always give further proof that the human body was designed. So pleased the host never mentioned the word "evolved" as so many supposedly "educated" people do. Design is apparent in the human body, especially when it shows vast superiority to human design! Thanks so much!
i get extremely grossed out and queazy when seeing the human body dissected (or anything dealing with the inside of the human body) but I also find it all super fascinating. so I’m in this constant state of wanting to throw up but also not wanting to look away lol. nonetheless, it was a great video that was also revolting at some points 😂😂 love it
I am a 40 year old woman who has never had a broken bone. No fractures or anything, anywhere. And I grew up quite the "tomboy", playing neighborhood baseball, basketball, football etc. with the boys I lived near. I got the crap kicked out outta myself many times but NO broken bones. Yet......
I had a boxer’s fracture a year ago. It wasn’t as painful as I imagined a fracture to be, but it was still the most pain I’ve had in my life, especially after the surgery
Ankle fracture here! The pain after surgery was worse for me too - my mom said _she_ cried when she saw me in Recovery because my arms were curling up on their own. I remember the arm thing but have NO recollection of pain. I do remember when they had to jostle it to re-make the splint though. That was the WORST but the nurses were really understanding and explained if they did it quick and dirty they could do it in one try. 🤷🏼♀️
I've broken a few bones, including my right elbow, and they healed on their own because I couldn't afford a doctor. I didn't even notice the broken elbow because I had also ruptured a tendon in my rotator cuff during the same stupid accident. That also healed by itself (with the ends about 2 cm. apart). I didn't find out about this until some 30 years later after the shoulder joint had begun to destabilize and cause pain. smh.
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
This has been one of my favorites of your fabulous videos. The visuals were great, and I learned a lot. Question : Is the paper-thin layer of the end of the femur the part that breaks when someone “breaks a hip”? Thanks again!
Depends. Sometimes it’s the end of the femur itself (the “ball”) and sometimes it’s the actual hip (the socket). The whole area is just called the hip joint
In 2010, I suffered vertebral compression fracture(s) to my T-11 and T-12 vertebrae, all my ribs on the right side of my body, two bones in my right hand, partially severed my spinal cord (I know that’s not a bone for all those that want to comment), as well as breaking my pelvis in three places all are a result of a motorcycle accident. Yes, I can walk.
I knew of a woman from Mexico who attempted a stunt where she extracted bone marrow out of a tube from her thigh under 3 minutes. She barely failed to reach her goal on time and lost her head over it.
Broke my right orbital wall falling onto a kettlebell in the gym 😅 it hurt immensely the first few weeks after and walked around with stitches and a black eye with blood in my eye, but now all I’ve got is a scar and a silly story to tell!
Thank you for this video! I just sat down with my 3rd grader to learn about bones and I actually never knew about red bone marrow making the blood cells! So fascinating! Love learning with my kids!
I've personally eaten bone marrow, from cow's bone if i remember correctly, and much like you'd assume from hearing that it's fat, it indeed tastes very fatty. It's a different kind of fat, being much more liquid, and the way I've eaten it is basically from a bone that was cut vertically, like cutting a tube to make a roof gutter or something like that, then the cut bone get grilled as if it was a cut of meat, and the marrow basically boils in the bone, softening up and becoming a bit liquid. I usually put the bone marrow on a tortilla to make a "marrow taco", pretty tasty and fatty, you could also put it in a quesadilla, which can give it more consistency so it doesn't feel too liquid or slimy.
Amazing video! I feel like im finally understanding this topic. I have always been so confused about this topic when learning it in school & had so many questions. It makes so much more sense now. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have seen spongie bone of my father when I collected his ashes. I lost him during 2nd wave covid. That time onwards I was curious to know why our bones are like spongie. Thank you for the video. I watched all your videos. ❤️
Question, so when you say the trabecule can build themselves up based on activity- getting stronger for walking and running... Can it decay? I mean, like, if you've gone from an active life to a very inactive life does the trabecule downgrade and lose what it's built? Oh, oh, and one more question; is there a certain age where it doesn't build up? As in if you've had an inactive life and wait till your 40s to go active, will your bones still strengthen?
We do eat bone marrow here in France. Marrow bones are part of many traditional french dishes (and what about the italians and their famous "osso bucco"). You can add it to simple soups and let it melt or enjoy your bone marrow as a side dish on a bit of toasted bread. I've seen in restaurants they would help half bones cooked in the oven. That is fine too...
Great video! I’ve been waiting for something like this especially my husband broke 4 bones in his back due to a bad fall last month and even if he’s in massive pain, it’s still not considered an emergency thing (very frustrating!) The parts that are broken are: CT Lumbar and Sacral Spine: Right sided fractures of the Transverse Processes of L1, L2,L3, and L4. Bilateral pars defects at L5 and S1. And he still hasn’t seen by a Doctor and it’s been a month now. With his condition, will he be okay or he might get paralyzed?
I can see why he is in a lot of pain. Has he not been seen by a doctor because he can't get into one or doesn't want to see one? You can have spine fractures, like the above, without compressing the spinal cord, but that doesn't mean that it can't affect the surround nerves that pass between the vertebrae.
@@theanatomylab He just can't into one. I brought him to the ER a couple of times but because of Covid, all ERs here in Portland are jam-packed. Do all broken bones need surgery to fix or there are alternatives? Thank you by the way for your reply, I appreciate it a lot!
He needs to get with his primary care doctor, and begin the process of being referred to trustworthy pain management doctors and orthopedic specialists. It can be a tough process, especially with the ridiculous witch-hunting and legislation that specifically targets legitimate pain management doctors as well as pain patients. I have had my spine fused L-2 through S-1. Two separate surgeries over the course of 3 days. First was ALIF, second was TLIF, as minimally invasive as possible. You both need a good start as you both begin the journey to his pain management and healing. I wish you both the very best.
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.
it's the only thing that's really yours (however brief)

The real skeleton why is the teeth misshaped?
Hello one of my tooth is losing bone.
I’m not sure the causes, and how to prevent my other teeth from losing bone
@@shotokimakaze1316 people do have mishaped teeth!
FLOSS, please!@@shadeiquechase2642
@@shadeiquechase2642go to a periodontist so he can diagnose you properly. the likely cause of bone loss is an inflammation in the structures that hold your tooth in its place. the cause of the inflammation can be many things. from bad oral hygiene to lifestyle habits and even genetics. this was just my 2 cents as a dental student. but again, you should definitely check out a dentist so you are diagnosed properly.
The way he zoomed in and adjusted the camera to see the sponge bone deeper into the bone was incredible GREAT CAMERA WORK
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 could only imagine the pain you’re in everyday, I could only imagine the nonstop agony you go thru in all aspects of life. I have aplastic anemia and your cure is my only cure too. I’m only 20 years old but I know anyone above that, will have a much harder time. I wish you the best and if you ever need someone to talk too just let me know! I’ll be getting a bone marrow transplant soon so I’ll be in the hospital for a month and some change, I will have nothing but time.
I’m with you,I have multiple myeloma,a blood and bone marrow cancer. I have a fine line between needing to understand and too much and totally freaking out. I had an autologous stem cell transplant. It was really hard and helped some but I’m not sure it was worth it. Now have monthly infusions and chemo pills every day. Hope you can find some better help, Drs vary in opinions and knowledge. Best wishes.
Don't be scared. I know what it's like to face a serious illness that almost ended in death. Try to stay strong, and I hope that you get what you need to be well again. May you be surrounded with love and healing energy.
God bless you. I’m so sorry that happened.
@@nancydavis4459 I also have multiple myeloma. I am going through my third time of treatment. I have had two stem cell transplants (autologous) and now face aT cell transplant. It is definitely not easy to go through. Only with Jesus' help.

Never thought I would find human anatomy videos as fascinating as I do. I watch this channel religiously.

@@theanatomylab would you mind doing a video on certain nerve diseases and death? I have a friend who got into an accident on his bike and has ankylosis spondylitis.
I like your username.
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.
Can’t wait to see you in the video, Good Luck.
Really hope you live as long as possible but when the time comes I’ll be watching you. Cheering. Giving you the credit you deserve now because you’ll be a skeleton by then and can’t really thank you.
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.
That's sad , but you are walking again ,kudos to your willpower
Lol I’d rather die
Are you me?
May God bless you and restore full health back into you! ❤💚 You're a very strong person.
Did they catch the hit and run guy?
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!

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)
I hope u get better and recover
Hope you get better. I feel so sorry for you.
I wish you to recover soon my friend! Please, have hope and take care!
It's so refreshing to see people in the medical field doing these for free. Much respect!!! Even if i already knew most of these, no one mentioned the placing of red bone marrow to me before, pretty shocking it's not everywhere.
Șmecherie la pateu
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.
In my heart, Jeffery will always be living
Make up a backstory for the skeleton. Like an actor prepares for a character in a play. Then it’s not bones but a person with an amazing structure inside.
@@dorothydean8643 Like a bone?
Not true, we can see these bones as ones belonging to a true hero, imagine giving up your actual bones just for the sake of science. A real hero, honestly. God bless this person's bones.
Yeap life is so short from the darkness of your mother's womb to the darkness of you in your grave.
Thank you, Institute of Human Anatomy - you have an excellent channel. Not only do you promote higher learning, but also, you keep the flame of human intelligence and scientific curiosity going. In a world that has gone so wrong, you are a reminder that we as mankind have a higher calling than just the drugs, the parties, the degeneracy, and the murder of so many of our fellow men (and women).
Keep up the good work - and as always, your videos are educational and a pleasure to watch.
By the way - I could be wrong, but compact bone is also known as cortical bone, and spongy bone can be called cancellous bone.
The human femur also has a strange bend toward the dorsal plane. It is often not in a straight line, as seen in profile, from the acetabulum to the tibial plateau, it falls, then bends slightly backwards somewhere in the middle. A sort of bow...
Jonathan looks so young for the amount of knowledge he has! I am always impressed, great job!

We should stop judging people's intelligence based off how young they are or look. A lot of us look younger because we didn't spend time ruining our skin with smoking and sun baking.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This has helped me with my nursing class so much. We are doing muskuloskeletal this semester and this video has broke it down more and being able to show the real thing helped tremendously!! Thank you so much I hope you make more videos!!

Love everything about this video. Easy to understand for a lay person, lively, tastefully humorous and entertaining even as you handle corpses and skeletons. I wish I had educators this good growing up. You guys should get an award. So far half a million viewers of all ages watched and learned something valuable without having to go to school. This is the future of education. Take a handful of rock star educators like yourselves and scale it to a million people. Learn stuff at random and on your own time, with native curiosity being the only driver! Kudos!
"tastefully humorous" could have made a pun about the humerus bone.
Not to mention that the presenter is cute as hell!
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 tree..... 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.

Yes I agree years ago I used to work in a high school that had two real skeletons I believe one was from India and the school was terribly haunted especially the girls toilets in the lower part of the high school it caused caretakers to not want to be there on their own, I don’t work there anymore but I’ve heard that they’ve got rid of the real skeletons but I don’t know if it had anything to do with the hauntings they said it was a change of policy something about not allowing the use of real skeletons they had to be fake.
@@carolynaitken7632 that skeleton needs to be put to rest. I’m sure it was upset!

Carolyn Aitken In the past, I had handled real skeletons in art school that borrowed them from a local hospital. As a student, I had always treated all human remains with respect and be gentle in handling each bone. After that, I never had nightmares or sleep paralysis. If you are disrespectful and rough with them, you will have trouble from vindictive souls. I read somewhere that a gravedigger once dropped a skull onto a hard ground. After that, he had a pounding headache.
I broke my femur from being hit by a car off my bicycle (many over injuries as well), they hollowed out the femur and installed a metal rod along with some screws through my knee and hip to hold it in place. Thank you for this video as I’ve always been curious what they might have removed and what impact it had on my body. Keep doing great and informative content.
I was hit by a car too on my bike. I got pretty lucky and I just broke my wrist. That’s crazy you have a metal rod in your leg!!
Congrats, you're a cyborg
I have full length rods in both femurs and a plate in my left forearm from where they took bone and blood vessels to graft to left femur to get it to start to heal.
Just assisted an operation like this last week! It was cool and at the same time scary 😅
I am a retired nurse and I love your program for it helps to rejenurate the leanin I have had in the past. Thank you so much.
I’ve had 7 bone marrow biopsies. And if you’re curious, I always described it as a piece of grated cheese and thats because they literally grind out just a small piece from the back of your pelvis. I had a bone marrow transplant back in November 2018 for acute myeloid leukaemia (triliniage dysplasia/MDS that had already started developing into aml but they treated it as aml). When ever I talk about the bone marrow, I usually say that your bone marrow is as essential as your heart because you can literally not survive without a functioning bone marrow. It is your blood factory! As I like to call it.
Thanks for sharing!
My Dad was just in the hospital in and out of the ICU because his Red Blood Cells were literally blowing up and falling apart… So many doctors were stumped. Thankfully they pulled in a Hematologist (a blood doctor) who figured out what was going on. He has Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. Basically, his white blood cells were attacking his red blood cells as if they were foreign objects or even a disease and DESTROYING THEM! He’s had to have several bags of blood transfused, IVIG Therapy (Intravenous Immune Globulin) which is a blood product made up of antibodies that can be given intravenously (in an IV). They also put him on a REALLY HIGH AMOUNT of steroids (like Prednisone). He finally was able to come home last night but will be going to MANY doctor specialists’ appointments for many weeks to come. I’m just happy that they finally figured out what was wrong… we almost lost him 😔 He is 74 years old but is still 6 ft. 5 in. tall and doesn’t look or act his age. My many prayers were answered over the past week! I was so excited to see you cover how and where all the blood cells are created in a person’s body! 😁

My sister got diagnosed with Autoimmune disorder as well. Her body wasn't accepting any food and lot more other symptoms. She was on meds for a long time and now everything is fine. And she is going great.

First, I want to thank you all for the wonderful videos you provide. I am currently recovering from an Inter-trochanteric fracture of my femur. It was my first break, and frankly, not nearly as painful as I thought it would be, in fact, the fall that caused the fracture is one that I have experienced many times before.... the only indication that something was wrong, was when I stood up, I fell right back down.
This is one of my favourite YT channels!!! We were never taught this information at school, but why? We only get given one body to live in, we SHOULD know how it works!! Respect to our amazing, beautiful bodies 🥰🥰🥰 Our bodies work so hard for us, without us even trying or having to think about it ❤️❤️❤️
Our little one (now 11) has "needles" (rods) hiding in her femurs.
She had them placed when she was a baby, she has Osteogenesis imperfecta.
She has had several fractures and is on Zometa to strengthen her bones.
She plans on being an Pediatric orthopedic surgeon when she is an adult.
Thanks for your videos. Very informative!
FINE TH-cam! I’ll watch this video you’ve been recommending me for the past week.
Since you asked... I broke my femur in a traffic accident 4 years ago. According to the doctors it was quite a task to put together all the fragments again. My right leg is about 15mm shorter now.
Also it seems, the periosteum suffered a lot of damage and I developed a pseudoarthrosis, which means, there is still a hole in the bone. The initial fracture was fixed with a PFN, which was switched to a stronger one a few months later. Last year we (the doctors) extracted bone marrow from my left femur and applied it to the bone on the right. It helped. A little.
thank you for your great videos!! i no longer feel clueless in anatomy class thanks to you guys
Glad we can help, and thank you for watching!
It's part of a Teachers job to make their students fell clueless! Otherwise we would be calling them out for their stupidity all the time! Works the same way with 'most' Doctors! They always want to be the smartest person in the room! Lol
Woah. I learned so much watching this. Definitely one of my favorite channels.
I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia a decade ago. It’s a disease where the bone marrow fails. It’s thought that it’s an autoimmune disease, however, more research needs to be done to know for sure. I started with an immune suppressant treatment plan but that didn’t work so I got a bone marrow transplant and that worked great. Also, during that time I had tons of blood transfusions in order to keep my blood cell counts at a somewhat normal level and I had to wear an N95 mask everywhere in public. So I have 3 requests, donate blood if you can, sign up to be a bone marrow donor if you can, and get vaccinated to protect those, like me a decade ago, whose immune system is severely weakened. Thank you.
Sorry to hear about what you're going through. Hopefully you continue to see improvements!
isnt bone marrow donations extremely painful? ive given blood, but ive heard horror stories about how painful marrow donations are
I have aplastic anemia in this day and age, it’s a true struggle. Not protecting myself but others doing the proper hand hygiene, etc. to protect me. I have a allogeneic bone marrow transplant in a month exactly and I can’t wait to get back to living life again. Im in the hospital right now cause of an infection and it’s interesting to look in the mirror knowing I look so healthy and happy but also knowing I’m on thin ice everyday. If anyone knows someone with aplastic anemia, please take them seriously with precautions or don’t be around them at all.
Man, i feel you, i am currently diagnosed with aplastic anemia and under immune suppressant treatment. You are lucky if you got bone marrow transplantation, because we couldnt find 100% compatible donor, but gladly i am able to stabilise my condition with cyclosporine immune suppressive treatment and one course of anti-thymocyte globulin treatment)
@@bigp9983 i feel you, man, was diagnosed with aplastic anemia september 2020. 6 month in various hospitals, had gone through tons of erythrocytes and thrombocytes transfusion. Now under constant immune suppressive treatment (400 mg cyclosporine each day). Just believe in yourself and you will get better. Hopefully we will win in the battle with this disease :)
This is the first video I've watched by you. I like how people are free to talk about their disabilities or problems with out being bullied here. That one of the many things I like about your channel.

I have secondary cancer in my bones . I can’t imagine what it looks like . Is it on the outer compact bone , like a tumour or is it in the bone marrow ? From what I’ve learned now from watching I know that the one place that is bad is my spine . It’s also on the top of my head, my shoulders and femurs. Ooh ...my oncologist is going to be asked to explain in more depth now that I understand so much more about bones .😂🤣 . Thank you it all makes more sense now . I have learned so much about the body since I found your site .
I never did biology at school due to moving from one teaching system in Scotland to England at the age of 13 where the new teaching system was at the stage of choosing subjects whereas I was still studying a general subject system and wouldn’t choose subjects for another year . We don’t go to secondary school until 12 years old in Scotland and they go at 11 in England .
What exactly happens when you lose bone density? I suffered from hyperparathyroidism (had it removed already) but unfortunately, even after 5 years of taking medicine for my bones, my forearm still is considered severe osteoporosis. (spine and hips have improved and are now "normal")
Also suffer from kidney stones because of it. Watched your video on kidney stones before and made me really fascinated about anatomy. I've learned more here than in my science class. Thank you!!
Sorry to hear about that! We have some videos on bone density coming up, like on osteoporosis. When you look at osteoporosis, the spongy bone really loses a lot of density, like the trabeculae become "thinner." We'll be able to go into more detail on the video though...

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
I've gotta thank you guys for all the work you do. I personally have a love hate relationship with my physical health due to EDS and no iron absorption so I have to get iron infusions even though my hemoglobin is normal, which it's been critical to the point of almost needing a blood transfusion. My bone marrow is the main culprit to me not being able to store ferritin so this vid was perfect for my current situation.
You answered one of the questions I had in mind. Since I have learned a lot of things about Leukemia due to a family member who is treating it, I wanted to know if stem cells bone marrow is all around the skeleton or if it is located. And it makes sense, since the bone marrow extraction for analysis is made in those 2 places you mention.
Thank you. I have learned so much about my body through your sessions and realise every time that Psm 139 says it perfectly "I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."

Since I love the way you guys explain things, may I suggest that you do a video about cervicogenic dizziness/headaches? Especially the ones that are caused by bad posture or uneven shoulders.
I am a SPT (student physical therapist) and understanding anatomy is foundamental when trying to understand what is the cause of someone's injury. Having found the channel recently, you do a fantasic job explaining the way everything is interconnected and breaking down the explanation! The cadaver's are some of the cleanest and most detailed I have seen which allows for a great learning opportunity when visuallizing the location of all the structures within our bodies. One thing I have a question about is the attachment of ligaments or tendons to bone, more so how exactly do they connect to one another? If you have a video on the topic already or resources to look into the topic, it would be much appreciated!
Watching these anatomy videos just proves to me even more what an amazing Creator we do have.
Whoever wants to differ. " We didn't just come from nothing. " ....🙄 wake to people!

side note, it's actually very interesting why we make blood cells and store fat inside bones. this usually means they're important, like how your brain sits inside a skull. we make new blood cells fairly often, every 120 days, and it requires stem cells. stem cells are the blue print of all types of cells resulted from the fertilization of egg and sperm, so we safely store stem cells inside bone marrow. we also store fat inside bone marrow as they're most secure from attacks and from bacteria, as this is vital energy supply during hard times.
I love these videos. Biology in a whole is amazing.. learning your own body is just the beginning.
Could you or do you already have a video on stomach ulcers and the different severities and exactly how they happen and how bad or harmless they are??
i had symptoms of anemia come on over the course of a year or so and every tested parameter about my blood was low, even blood volume. it took fainting in front of the doctor with critically low blood pressure to get taken seriously. turns out i wasn't having internal bleeding but instead the combination of medication i was on had started shutting down my red bone marrow among other things. fun! i did eventually get blood production up and running again but i get to keep surprise organ damage as a souvenir. if something feels wrong keep looking until you find a doctor who will listen to you.
Respect for the guy who donated his bone for science that was brave
I'm straight up gonna say your wrong, because I have never heard of someone being brave postmortem, or really anything else for that matter besides the occasional being buried alive situation and stuff like that. After death, you don't need to be brave, you just have to accept what comes after it, depending on what the person's beliefs were. As I see it, they're not suffering anymore.
The skeleton is alive in its own right, it’s quite simply fabulous x
I wish you guys could delve deeper into problems with bone marrow and transplants. My grandson, with Lukeimia, had to have a bone marrow transplant and id really like to understand it better. Hes in remission still at age 7. Praise God! Has to have a kidney transplant this summer. He does diaylis every night at home in the meantime. I'd love to understand that in the human body better too. Thx for everything you guys do! Really enjoy watching and learning! Patty
You guys really make us appreciate our human body and it's fabulous ways of keeping us alive . Thanks you for sharing such a knowledge
Thanks for the comment!
Awwww, Cornelius. Roll of shame. 🤣🤣🤣
😂 He will be back. lol
Sums up one whole A&P chapter in under 15 minutes! 🤯🤯
Thank you my friend. ❤
I just love ur videos they are so much informative and I don't need read my text books lots of love from India
Thanks for watching! Love that we are reaching people all over the world!
In my country, or at lest my region, (village in eastern Europe) bone marrow was considered super healthy and like a treat, a lot of older people eat it. I remember trying it as a child cuz my grandma would say I have to eat it to grow big and strong when I grow up. But I totally dont remember the flavor, just remember it had really unique texture.
The Amount of engineering our human body went through to be made is amazing. Every little detail is as much critical and important to make everything work together. And the fact that we can evolve due to our environment, our body’s ability to adapt throughout time is just fantastic. Whomever made us 👏👏👏👏👏👏
These videos always give further proof that the human body was designed. So pleased the host never mentioned the word "evolved" as so many supposedly "educated" people do. Design is apparent in the human body, especially when it shows vast superiority to human design! Thanks so much!
i get extremely grossed out and queazy when seeing the human body dissected (or anything dealing with the inside of the human body) but I also find it all super fascinating. so I’m in this constant state of wanting to throw up but also not wanting to look away lol. nonetheless, it was a great video that was also revolting at some points 😂😂 love it
same
I don't have it quite as bad as you. But I find myself with my head tilted as if I'm trying to watch and not watch at the same time. LOL
Ah the classic human morbid curiosity. You love and hate it.
if u think this is bad just think about how bad the human body looks while decomposing it's horrifyingly disgusting.
Same brother
the man who gave his bones for the video is an artist
I am a 40 year old woman who has never had a broken bone. No fractures or anything, anywhere.
And I grew up quite the "tomboy", playing neighborhood baseball, basketball, football etc. with the boys I lived near. I got the crap kicked out outta myself many times but NO broken bones. Yet......
I'm with you. 55yrs and nothing broken yet. Spent my youth climbing trees, walls etc and jumping off them 🤔
Consider yourself lucky for going through life without experiencing enough blunt force trauma to break a bone.
Try hitting a car while riding a motorcycle at 60mph. This should do the trick.
@@jakmarve why not? It would definitely work.
@@ArtisChronicles facts
I had a boxer’s fracture a year ago. It wasn’t as painful as I imagined a fracture to be, but it was still the most pain I’ve had in my life, especially after the surgery
Ouch! I see those fractures in the clinic, some get lucky enough to avoid surgery.
You sound young...give life a chance it will kick you around a bit!😂
Ankle fracture here! The pain after surgery was worse for me too - my mom said _she_ cried when she saw me in Recovery because my arms were curling up on their own. I remember the arm thing but have NO recollection of pain. I do remember when they had to jostle it to re-make the splint though. That was the WORST but the nurses were really understanding and explained if they did it quick and dirty they could do it in one try. 🤷🏼♀️
This whole series is superb. Mysteries of the human body explained in such a simple way that makes them accessible to all
How I wish y'all could teach the entire anatomy syllabus to us😭😭
I struggle a lot in med school
We are currently in the process of making courses with quizzes that students could take...
Thank you💫🤩🤩
I've broken a few bones, including my right elbow, and they healed on their own because I couldn't afford a doctor. I didn't even notice the broken elbow because I had also ruptured a tendon in my rotator cuff during the same stupid accident. That also healed by itself (with the ends about 2 cm. apart). I didn't find out about this until some 30 years later after the shoulder joint had begun to destabilize and cause pain. smh.
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
This has been one of my favorites of your fabulous videos. The visuals were great, and I learned a lot. Question : Is the paper-thin layer of the end of the femur the part that breaks when someone “breaks a hip”? Thanks again!
Depends. Sometimes it’s the end of the femur itself (the “ball”) and sometimes it’s the actual hip (the socket). The whole area is just called the hip joint
In 2010, I suffered vertebral compression fracture(s) to my T-11 and T-12 vertebrae, all my ribs on the right side of my body, two bones in my right hand, partially severed my spinal cord (I know that’s not a bone for all those that want to comment), as well as breaking my pelvis in three places all are a result of a motorcycle accident. Yes, I can walk.
Wow!!! That hurts only by reading what you’ve been through
I knew of a woman from Mexico who attempted a stunt where she extracted bone marrow out of a tube from her thigh under 3 minutes. She barely failed to reach her goal on time and lost her head over it.
This is really interesting. I want to be a doctor, so this information is both interesting and useful for me
Glad it was helpful!
Broke my right orbital wall falling onto a kettlebell in the gym 😅 it hurt immensely the first few weeks after and walked around with stitches and a black eye with blood in my eye, but now all I’ve got is a scar and a silly story to tell!
That is a great story! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video! I just sat down with my 3rd grader to learn about bones and I actually never knew about red bone marrow making the blood cells! So fascinating! Love learning with my kids!
Can you make a video of why we get headaches when we sleep too much? 🙂
I've personally eaten bone marrow, from cow's bone if i remember correctly, and much like you'd assume from hearing that it's fat, it indeed tastes very fatty.
It's a different kind of fat, being much more liquid, and the way I've eaten it is basically from a bone that was cut vertically, like cutting a tube to make a roof gutter or something like that, then the cut bone get grilled as if it was a cut of meat, and the marrow basically boils in the bone, softening up and becoming a bit liquid.
I usually put the bone marrow on a tortilla to make a "marrow taco", pretty tasty and fatty, you could also put it in a quesadilla, which can give it more consistency so it doesn't feel too liquid or slimy.
Jeffrey be like : what the fuc dude
mutton bone marrow is yum :)
Amazing video! I feel like im finally understanding this topic. I have always been so confused about this topic when learning it in school & had so many questions. It makes so much more sense now. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
'SpongyBone Trabeculae' is my favorite knock off children's show.
I have seen spongie bone of my father when I collected his ashes. I lost him during 2nd wave covid. That time onwards I was curious to know why our bones are like spongie. Thank you for the video. I watched all your videos. ❤️
I am soooo late to this party!!!!! New-ish to your channel but devouring the videos!!!! These are FABULOUS!!!! Thank you for what you do!
Extremely fascinating stuff as always, but i have to ask when it comes to the cadavers, how do you guys keep them so well preserved?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaver#Preserving_for_use_in_dissection
Question, so when you say the trabecule can build themselves up based on activity- getting stronger for walking and running... Can it decay? I mean, like, if you've gone from an active life to a very inactive life does the trabecule downgrade and lose what it's built? Oh, oh, and one more question; is there a certain age where it doesn't build up? As in if you've had an inactive life and wait till your 40s to go active, will your bones still strengthen?
We do eat bone marrow here in France. Marrow bones are part of many traditional french dishes (and what about the italians and their famous "osso bucco"). You can add it to simple soups and let it melt or enjoy your bone marrow as a side dish on a bit of toasted bread.
I've seen in restaurants they would help half bones cooked in the oven. That is fine too...
Great video! I’ve been waiting for something like this especially my husband broke 4 bones in his back due to a bad fall last month and even if he’s in massive pain, it’s still not considered an emergency thing (very frustrating!)
The parts that are broken are:
CT Lumbar and Sacral Spine: Right sided fractures of the Transverse Processes of L1, L2,L3, and L4. Bilateral pars defects at L5 and S1.
And he still hasn’t seen by a Doctor and it’s been a month now. With his condition, will he be okay or he might get paralyzed?
I can see why he is in a lot of pain. Has he not been seen by a doctor because he can't get into one or doesn't want to see one? You can have spine fractures, like the above, without compressing the spinal cord, but that doesn't mean that it can't affect the surround nerves that pass between the vertebrae.
@@theanatomylab He just can't into one. I brought him to the ER a couple of times but because of Covid, all ERs here in Portland are jam-packed.
Do all broken bones need surgery to fix or there are alternatives?
Thank you by the way for your reply, I appreciate it a lot!
He definitely should see a doctor. I wish him safe and speedy recovery 🤗 💕
@@uremcolo9489 Thank you! Take care! 💖
He needs to get with his primary care doctor, and begin the process of being referred to trustworthy pain management doctors and orthopedic specialists. It can be a tough process, especially with the ridiculous witch-hunting and legislation that specifically targets legitimate pain management doctors as well as pain patients.
I have had my spine fused L-2 through S-1. Two separate surgeries over the course of 3 days. First was ALIF, second was TLIF, as minimally invasive as possible.
You both need a good start as you both begin the journey to his pain management and healing. I wish you both the very best.
