THESE VIDEOS ARE BETTER THAN EVERY PROFESSOR I HAD IN BIOLOGY I SWEAR….. just the verbiage was comprehend-able😊 i love it here lol….Thanks u r deeply appreciated

[@SiebertScience]

Yay, glad you've found them helpful! Yeah, I've found a lot of videos online are a little too intense for my students, so I tried to make these for my high schoolers to somewhat understand....but people in college and beyond have found them helpful. Thanks so much for the kind comment!

whenever I'm having difficulty in understanding any topic in anatomy, I just search for your channel. you make everything interesting and easy. thank you so much 🙏

[@johndee1855]

I’m not a doc, nurse , practitioner of any medicine or even in the healthcare business, but I love how the human body works … if I were studying medicine, particularly the heart, I’d enroll , read , listen , watch every one of your lectures, classes , videos , etc . , a fantastic explanation , illustration , definition of the mechanisms of the heart and how they work …

[@SiebertScience]

Thanks for the kind words! That's awesome that you're a life-long learner...I love learning stuff I don't have to know too!

[@jungandrea6060]

You are an amazing teacher thank you for what you do!. Love the bloopers at the end.

[@Hellos.5]

I always remember you go away to ART school, and come back in a van (vein). Silly, but it helps me.

[@SiebertScience]

Love it! Sometimes the sillier mnemonics are the ones that stick with us the best.

[@katushabelillian6756]

Keep up the great work Sir.

[@JaniyahCastle]

God bless you sir, this video helped me out greatly!

[@mskreidlerphysics3950]

Always appreciate how systematically you present information. Each step is always so logical. I loved that you tried to bring in the history of mmHg. I think you meant to say barometers which we used to understand weather and air pressure. Barometers use mmHg as their units, and we use mmHg as our units for blood pressure because it is still a pressure measurement. Thermometers generally use degrees to measure temperature and the height of the mercury in the thermometer was not usually measured. Instead, thermometers were manually calibrated by putting mercury in boiling water and an ice-water bath.

[@someguyusa]

I am typically an A/B student who studies minimum 2-4 hours per day during a semester, and I gotta say that your presentations are much better than my A&P2 professor. She just reads from a set of cluttered powerpoint slides and plays the most boring, droning videos I think she could possibly find. Don't get me wrong, she has other very annoying qualities too. :) You rock!

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:08</a>, considering the artery has a double membrane the membrane of the vein runs into the artery and the outer membrane is a lymphatic vessel that covers a vein

Mercury was used in barometers and manometers to measure the pressure needed to lift a column of it that is x mm high. Its use in thermometers was based on its expansion as it warms.

[@user-se5rr2wp9j]

I wish you were my lecturer 🎉

[@jimbell242]

Hi Dr. Siebert. Do you take questions from us about medical issues, such as blood pressure issues? I am a 54 yr old caucasion male and 90% service connected disabled US veteran. I have a very serious problem with my blood pressure that my VA doctors seem to be unable to figure out. I have chronic high BP even while on daily BP meds. My BP sometimes rapidly increases into hypertensive crisis, causing me to have to go the ER. Alawys it is the same: the ER checks to see if I had a heart attack (which I have never had), and then sends me home. Because of this problem, I have been to the ER well over 30 times (mostly by ambulance) in the past 3 years. No one seems to have an answer as to why these life-threatening hypertensive crises happen. Worse, they don't seem to be making much of an effort to figure it out. This condition has disabled me, and I need help figuring this out so I can finally move on with my life! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your videos!

[@artsmart]

Great explanation thx. A Question if you will; Common sense tells me that narrow veins and arteries will cause a higher blood pressure readout due to increased force. Is this so?

[@SiebertScience]

You're correct! One of the ways that the body regulates blood pressure is the constricting and relaxing of arteries. They constrict to increase pressure and relax to lower it.

[@guytelfer1353]

Possible obesity can be related to a leaky internal urinary, including bladder , the bladder may have a default blowout mechanism that dumps everything into l. Intestine and diarrhea being a complication to a problem in the urinary after the bladder or after the kidney's

hello, is telmisartan taken with aspirin ok? i average 200/140 180/130 blood pressure. the lowest i've gotten recently is 160/110 and they needed to iv medication for that to happen

[@sharkymoon422]

Great video, but I don’t understand how the arteries can have plague as they leave the heart, surely it’s the veins that cause the heart attacks that take blood to the heart.. If there is plague in the arteries surely that’s caused from a heart attack..?! ❤️🙏🏻

[@SiebertScience]

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Do you mean to place a copyright label to protect my videos?

[@alc6799]

I note the differences between arteries and veins however they have essentially the same structure. Why is it that plaque only forms in arteries and not veins. Logically blood pressure and the amount of oxygen in each is the only difference and why should that matter? 😂Great introduction.

[@SiebertScience]

Thanks for the comment and great question! I really don't know, and a quick internet search doesn't show any clear answers. One idea (that I have no evidence for, just speculating): Maybe there *is* plaque buildup in the veins, but because the veins have more space inside, have a lot of alternative pathways of veinous flow, and because they can end up deforming (like varicose veins), the plaque buildups don't matter nearly as much as they do in arteries (where blockages cause stroke or heart attack). But again, that's just a thought...I don't really know.

[@Dr_Oleg_Kulikov]

Actually, your BP is not good. Pulse Pressure (PP=SBP-DBP) is 44. I am 67. My resting heart beat rate (RHR) is about 46, PP is about 36. That is the biological age of my cardiovascular system is younger than of yours. Yet, I am struggling to get PP to below 30 and RHR to below 40, as it was in my age of 18. You are aging quick. Sorry for the bad news. Nowadays, sickness is becoming a norm.

[@agubata1]

Taking your blood pressure over your shirt sleeve is the most unprofessional, ignorant and idiotic way to lead the non medical viewers to enlightenment.

[@SiebertScience]

This study from the National Institutes of Heath showed no statistical significance of taking blood pressure measurements over clothing: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5368310/ Do you know of any studies that show that clothing affects the results of blood pressure readings? Or do you just enjoy being kind of mean in KZbin comments? 😉
