you're a STAR!!🌟 These videos are AMAZING

[@clivestokes]

Goodness, gracious. The things we take for granted about our own bodies are wonderful when explained in such a sympathetic way. Kudos Alice.

Excellent stuff, lovely to see. As a carpal tunnel syndrome sufferer it was nice to see exactly what the carpal tunnel was!

[@EllisThings]

Wow our hands are so complex and fantastic. This series of videos is great, thank you

[@CD-ho4hm]

Professor Alice, Thank you very much for that valuable lesson. If it is possible could you please give a lesson about the Leg and particularly the knee/ articulations. Thank You!

[@DoktorDevious]

Thank you for the video, very interesting. If you put the videos into a playlist it will be easier to share and useful to keep them in order. Thanks again, you're awesome.

[@aliceroberts4107]

Aidan McGill Thank you - I will try to work out how to do that!

[@sajjadkhan9710]

Awesome, Beautifully explained. Thank you Professor

These videos have been fascinating, there is so much to learn about our own bodies & these videos give me a much better understanding of what's going on beneath the skin. Q, In general (not including actual ailments) what causes joints to crack in the unpleasant manner that they often do?

[@johnbarnes6568]

The human body is amazing and I bet most people don't give it a second thought to what lies beneath and how it all works. How do you hold all this knowledge in your head.

[@aliceroberts4107]

John Barnes Too many years of teaching it! It’s like “the knowledge” - a mental map of the body.

[@johnbarnes6568]

Alice Roberts it's impressive you manage to store it all, mine is like a sponge that someone is constantly squeezing all the knowledge out of it , very annoying sometimes.

[@slramage]

Thanks again

8:39 -- I absolutely cannot move my thumb like that without my index finger also flexing. I've been a musician my entire life, a pianist, so it's not like I lack control over my hands. But the way your hand looks at 8:42 is literally something I cannot do on either hand. What on Earth could cause that? Also, as a musician, I've got to ask: why can't the ring finger extensor tendon work as well as the others? The fact that it can't has been the bane of many a musician's existence, and I really would love to know from an anatomical point of view exactly why that finger can't extend back nearly as well as the other, individually.

Fascinating

[@michaelkyriacou7026]

Brilliant as always,thanks so much!! :)

[@phonotical]

Did you put this up twice? im sure I saw something about hands appear the other day!

[@sanaazizi6398]

Which app are you using

[@phonotical]

I have heard that technically there are no muscles in the fingers,only in the hand, but arent there something called a muscle that keeps hair standing on end? or am I going crazy

[@aliceroberts4107]

Phonotical Yes, you’re right! So here’s the pedantic, finicky truth: there are no muscle bellies of skeletal muscles in the fingers - but of course their tendons run into the fingers. But there is plenty of smooth muscle - those tiny arrector pili muscles you quite rightly mentioned - and smooth muscle in artery walls too!

[@phonotical]

@@aliceroberts4107 wow, muscle in arteries?!

[@Tyler380]

Circulation and why someones hands are cold but others are not..
