This episode covers the concepts of respiration, including gas exchange, the laws that govern it, partial pressure, carbon dioxide transport, and oxyhemoglobin dissociation. I also have a conversation with Christina Byrne of ACT Dental who talks about being a dental hygienist, what it takes to become one, and all the career options associated with it. Check out my instagram account @studenthelp4ap to see the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. Don't forget you can email me at [email protected] and ask me questions.

Episode 51 begins the Respiratory System by discussing its anatomy as well as lung volumes and capacities. It also includes my conversation with David DiVenti, instructor of Medical Assisting and Supervisor of Allied Health and Workforce Development at Camden County College in Camden County, New Jersey. David talks about being a Medical Assistant, what it takes to become one, and how rewarding a career it has been for him. It’s an incredibly informative conversation about a great career option for anyone interested anatomy & physiology. You can check out David’s instagram account to learn more about Medical Assisting. David mentioned a book that inspired him called Atomic Habits by James Clear. Learn more about Atomic Habits here.

This episode continues the lymphatic system with discussion of lymphatic tissues and organs, including the spleen, tonsils, thymus, and lymph nodes. Please take a minute to rate the podcast and leave comments. As always you can email questions to [email protected] and I'll try to answer them on a future episode. Check out the anatomy & physiology videos I've been posting to instagram and youtube.

Today's episode begins the lymphatic system. I posted an image on Instagram that may help you follow along with some of the anatomy talk. I also answer a listener question about VO2 Max. Don't forget to follow me on instagram and check out my youtube channel for videos and clips. Email me with questions at [email protected].

This episode covers the Cardiac Cycle, which is everything that happens in the heart from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next heartbeat. The best visual for this is the Wiggers Diagram, which I have posted on instagram (studenthelp4AP) and twitter (@studenthelp4AP). I recommend using this image to following along.

I also answer a question about hydration from listener Ali. Please follow me on my socials and feel free to use them to ask me a question. You can also email me at [email protected].

Episode 47 covers the electrical activity of the heart as well as explains the ECG. The heart is unique that it generates and conducts its own electrical signals without a need for motor neurons. For an in-depth look at the human heart and the rest of the human body, check out A&P Digital Suite for over 150 A&P tutor videos I've made, study guides, and comprehensive anatomy and physiology lab simulations. Feel free to email me at [email protected] and ask me questions. I just may answer them on the show.

This episode covers the histology of cardiac muscle tissue including how some cardiac muscles cells generate their own electrical signals. This is how the heart beats without being innervated by neurons. I also talk about coronary artery disease and bypass surgery. Remember to email me at [email protected] if you have questions and visit my youtube channel. Tell your professors about A&P Digital Suite where they can assign 155 of my tutor videos as well as industry-leading A&P lab simulations.
