Anatomy and Physiology - Bit by Bit

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.

This episode covers capillary exchange, the way our blood delivers and receives materials to and from the tissues. I also invite you to listen to conversations I had with my colleagues at the Annual National Conference of the Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS). I got to talk to professors, authors, publishers, and anatomical model creators. Judy Nath. Anatomic Excellence.

In 2018, triathlete and skydiver Jason Dennen was in a catastrophic skydiving accident that put him in a coma for 8 days, broke 20 bones, damaged several organs, and dislodged his heart from the pericardial sac. Doctors were shocked he reached the hospital alive. Within a year of the accident and being told he wouldn't be able to run again, Jason completed a triathlon. This episode is entirely devoted to hearing Jason's story of how he was injured, how he recovered, the healthcare practitioners involved, family, friends, and faith. You can find out more about Jason from his website and see how to get his book, 8 Days Til Sunrise, or meet him at one of his many book signing events. You can also follow him on Instagram. Jason's story is also chronicled in Men's Health Magazine, which you can read HERE.
