Health & Medicine on Khan Academy: No organ quite symbolizes love like the heart. One reason may be that your heart helps you live, by moving ~5 liters (1.3 gallons) of blood through almost 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of blood vessels every single minute! It has to do this all day, everyday, without ever taking a vacation! Now that is true love. Learn about how the heart works, how blood flows through the heart, where the blood goes after it leaves the heart, and what your heart is doing when it makes the sound “Lub Dub.”

Neil Gazoontite?! Um, bless you?

[@clairemurphy2363]

DR G that’s the first thing that got me 😂😂AAACCHHOOO!

[@Starmag99]

It's spelled "Gesundheit" if I remember my German class correctly.

[@chris.viapondo]

Hahahahaha 🏆

[@1955stefanie]

Thank goodness Sal was explaining things too. The guy speaking was just like a textbook, while Sal put it in terms that one can understand.

[@rara1987]

i love khan university! this is making my essentials of a&p a lot easier! especially since it's all online without a lecture! MLT student here!

[@ym-pg8iq]

I think him asking questions helped me to be clearer on the topic, thanks!!

[@thelittlejennie]

I like the questions that sal is asking. It's very interactive learning. Learn by asking, not just listening. I can remember everything in the video because it was like holding a conversation, vs just listen to someone talk. Thank you Sal for reiterative, clarifying and asking questions.

[@lailahicks5494]

LOVE the style of this, interview type thing

[@natb3626]

This is so helpful!!! All your viedos are!!! Thank you for taking the time to put these together. For ppl like me who is a soical worker by trade Bio is something I have to really study!!!! This is a amazing.

[@BeautifullyRewritten]

Great Video! Received some clarity from it for my nursing class! Thank you!

[@ReubenJames1000]

Your videos are fantastic! I have an A&P exam on thursday next week, and you are just making it so interesting to learn. Thank you so much :D

[@barth1007]

I'm really enjoying your videos with the experts! Fascinating. Thank you so much.

[@lindseyhull8845]

Unlike most people, I enjoyed the questions because then I found out even more information and some of the questions were ones I would ask!

[@quickandfastasmr5988]

I wish the presenter touched on the other hormones secreted by the pituitary gland such as Follicle stimulating hormone, oxytocin and antidiuretic. My current high school A+P classes are very in depth and hard to follow. I would like more detailed videos to help me study.

[@livlavluv23]

this was great..thanks a lot! Gesundheit must be a pretty great professor to have- he's so clear.

[@Palmar3s]

Great Video. Upload the other part Sal! This is a great review for MCAT material and for everyone!

[@lindasoto8280]

Thank you! Well organized to help memorize the hormones. Very useful. Thanks Khan Academy :)

[@stormycox1056]

Great presentation! I was able to grasp everything and learn a lot of new observations on ‘hormones’ and the endocrine defined beyond textbooks.

[@MistressMelon]

You guys made it SO clear!! Thank you a 1000 fold!

[@SEThatered]

Great videos! Even when i watch something i thought i know very well, i discover details i never knew.

[@ludachristo]

Please Please Please more like this, limbic, brain, biochemistry. Im studying for the MCAT and watch almost every science video multiple times. LOVE YOU KAHN!!!

[@mfun503]

Thank you! More Nursing things like this, A&P, Bio, NCLEX and such, thanks!

[@lynncanyon]

Great video, thank you! Please make a video on the mechanisms of hormone action! Lipid-soluble and water-soluble. very complex and I haven't found any good videos covering this.

[@sweeetmelody9]

I wish I had this last year in my BIO class!

[@kjomommy]

Awesome!!!! Great video!

[@AutumnPrinceProductions]

Thanks so much! You're loads better than my teacher in your ability to explain this

[@bryannguyen658]

Yes as a junior in college I am so psyched to see this video being posted on the web.

[@anz10]

wireless signals, wow, amazing way of seeing it, never thought of it that way and never knew the pituary gland does that much, thank you fascinating stuff. I'm 27 and have finished university (college in american english), but I still have a hunger to learn and your videos are the perfect way, enteractive and stimulating, less hassle than picking up a book ;) and easier to follow. Thank you for what you're doing, it's an inspiration :)

[@OrganicStuff1]

Bless you

[@hyparion]

Keep these type of videos coming!

[@MsWatcheverything]

I LOVE IT! Thank you

[@sapereaude120]

Very nice! Will be waiting for the next video. I remember when studying for the MCAT it had broken up adrenal into ad + renal as explained in the video, and I was like, OMG how have I never noticed that before?! One of those "...duh" moments. Interestingly, most medical terms make sense if you take a moment and consider their etymology ;) Also helps in remembering them.

[@_a_butterflyy376]

this is so helpful! :) thankew so much fr puting effort on this.. but ur effort is never a worthless bcz many of students lyk me are learning things very easily.. so appreciable thing! :) though interviewing is sum wat distracting.. i love this way of teaching.. thankeww so much..

[@daniels3784]

I love how Khan is acting like he's learning something from this guy but in his head he's like "actually, no you're wrong there" but he's saying "Wow, interesting!"

[@ic0n29]

HA, i was just looking for something on this topic yesterday! Great.

[@PaksRhan]

Very helpful. Thank you for uploading.

@zatoichi37 According to Sylvia S. Mader, "The thyroid gland is composed of a large number of follicles. Each follicle is a small spherical structure made of thyroid cells filled with triiodothyronine (t3), which contains three iodine atoms, and thyroxine (t4), which contains four." In Human Biology-12 ed.

More neurology please!!!

[@sor715]

medical students are perhaps the best etymologists you'll ever meet.

[@polvotierno]

Government regulation and involvement in the economy should work like the endocrine system. Stimulus is similar to the root idea of hormone.

[@umr0077]

I like the part when salman sir were asking questions. It would help me to ask the questions in the class. Rather than just taking in information.

[@MegaDreamOo]

Thumbs up for Nursing Students..!!

[@shanakaj17]

has there been a follow up video made for this?

[@alyshia9282]

this is helping me with nursing school A and P hehe :)

[@HarryWuHexza]

Nice drawibg!

[@FraserSouris]

"Paracrinology"

[@edmardelosreyes7241]

Need to master this for my report for Anatomy and Physiology. >.

[@MaksonGamingHD03]

How did it go?

[@Alexiaden93]

@b562r The pituitary gland is itself regulated by the hypothalamus, so in that sense the latter would be called the master master gland! :) It really depends, some people give the title to the pituitary gland whereas others prefer to give it to the hypothalamus. The important thing is that out of this "misunderstanding" you now know the relationship between the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus! Hope this made sense. :) - First semester medicine student.

[@Barca10tkt]

Thank you for the content! I learn more here than in my online classes 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@bryanlane4474]

Great Video, but what about ADH?

[@LanNguyen-iu3oe]

My gosh what does this channel not have?

This guy sounds like Dr. Luigi Gratton

[@majdyabdul]

Why isn't this on the biology playlist?

[@paulotto3298]

Adrenal Glands... make zerglings attack faster...

[@ChrisHeightsTV]

This is the 1st Khan Academy video I couldn't follow. I think that the guy asking questions was distracting to me. There was entirely too much going on in this one. I rather just listen to one person.

[@kevinsavo3650]

The guy asking questions was Kahn Himself! I've never before heard Sal Kahn be such a novice! It goes to show you that no-one knows it all.

[@mimicilla2477]

u definetly right the guy asking him is annoying

[@MeshaL_Alharbi_9x9]

Same thing

[@RaptorJesus52]

CNA for 5 years, RN for another 5, currently working on my PMHNP, and am only just now learning that adrenal is ad(jacent to)renal. blew me away. Thanks, all!
