[@Brancaalice]

No honey, he is teaching not to regular class of thousands, it to billions of students around the world.

[@hayatsamiya76]

[@20fanor]

Dude can you take my anatomy final lol. This guy is super knowledgeable

[@abdaljaleel5683]

Now what is your score in the exam 😂

[@joehernandez3538]

dude, you have no idea how much this helped me out with my presentation project over vocal fold paralysis. i may have gotten more information than i asked for, but wow did you really clarify how the laryngeal nerve branches work with the larynx. thank you!

[@pchabanowich]

This is a smooth intro to the vagus nerve complex. Flawless presentation. Thank you.

[@197sma]

One hell of a great teacher that is born once in several centuries. I feel so fortunate to have attended your AMAZING LECTURES. MAY EXISTENCE BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

[@waltropica]

salpingopharyngeus is called that way because salpinx is tube in greek. as you said its near the auditory tube, so thats how they came up with this name ;) Another great video :)

[@NinjaNerdOfficial]

+waltropica you learn something new every day!!!!

[@drdebocherry]

@@NinjaNerdOfficial no way, there is nothing you don't know, dude!

[@dr_ismail_wazir]

thanks thanks

[@erinchavez4236]

Lol he said stinker .. dang auto correct again

[@Reincarnation111]

This Vagus nerve should be called the 'good boy' for the functions it performs for and serves us in so many ways. I am grateful for this super complex and truly miraculous system we are blessed with. Let us praise, thank and meditate on it so it keeps functioning well. I am overwhelmed by watching how one nerve can manage so many organs. Thanks for this informative video, not that understood all of it on, but I did get the essence and will watch it again to learn more.

[@MargaretStPeter]

wow, you are really good at this, thank you. I am coping with a vagus nerve problem and this really helps me understand how it all works.

[@vincentvega3747]

What are your symptoms?

[@billsargent1021]

You explained it better than any of my college professors thank you

[@urospeteh2637]

I have lost everything in life due to a damage to vagus nerve. My esophagus doesnt work. Refluxes dont clear. Cant breathe, cant do sports, cant enjoy books, all because of stupid viral infection who attacked branches of vagus nerve.

[@vimlatiwari51]

Uroš Peteh I am so sorry to hear that

[@urospeteh2637]

vimla tiwari Thanks for your compassion. It's a nightmare.

[@jaydevsinhsolanki9323]

Did you cured now?

[@urospeteh2637]

Jaydev Solanki No. It is a life long disease. ( innefective esophageal motility). And all the prokinetics have serious side effects. I dont know what to do.

[@jaydevsinhsolanki9323]

Uroš Peteh Have faith that healing will come shortly !! I don't know you but I'm feeling very sad about you ! Don't lose hope my dear!! 😭🙏🤝

[@muhammadhazimi5750]

How complex God creates system for human...Almighty Allah s w.t...the most Gracious most mercifull

[@RobertLongM]

I’ll look but can you then break down this into “conditions” for example - someone with Chiari Malformation due to EDS Or Cervical Instability- how do these get complications in motor or speech or Gastro, even heart. Or how SVT becomes a problem. How “stress and Anxiety” contributes to low vagal tone and or high. Thank you

[@marikabraak910]

Are you a walking google, how do you remember ! Thank you for helping us understand

[@muhammadtariq996]

So impressive, and detailed description. Great, wonderful, amazing. Thank you so much. Excellent presentation, especially with all these different fibers and their branches. Truly, you are amazing. Can't say thank you enough.

[@mansourabdulshafea8647]

Stunning, Stunning & Stunning. Thanks a lot for this great video

[@franrushie1383]

Fascinating... I’m so interested in every detail and you are so articulate in explaining it all...

[@MrKjelder1]

Now I understand why, when I contracted Gullian Barre Syndrome in 2016 from the Gardisal HPV Vac, that the first symptoms was a respiratory type illness hypercongestion, yet no strength to cough or breath, difficulty in swallowing, sensitivity to loud noises and taste was weird with severe pain in my teeth and jaw, very low Blood Pressure. At the time I just thought it was Bronchitis, only a week later did I start losing sensation in my hands and feet. Clearly my Vagus Nerve was the first part of my Nervous system to be attacked. And why the Yogic Pranayam ( breath work and meditation) helped so much on accelerating my recovery. Fascinating. Thank you for the information.

[@blahblah-ug5dw]

Yo! Im gonna pray for you man, the least i could do!

[@BlissfullyActive]

I needed you as a science teacher! You do a great job! Keep inspiring our kids!

[@SteveHazel]

soooooo many nerves !!

[@jenn6194]

I loved Biology at school. It was my second favourite subject... and it's been a long time since I was at school, believe me. I wish this guy was my teacher. I've probably learnt as much in the past half hour as I learnt in Years 11 and 12 altogether. Firing up the neurons big time... 😀

[@manjum99]

Hi thank You so much for these videos.. Just one question.. Are you a Harvard student?

[@bokugakirada6599]

Sir i can't express my gratitude in words I owe you sir

[@kathyh4804]

My son had severe headaches and stomache pain Went to gastroenterologists and neurologists.... for 3 years of pain and losing credits in school from missed days ... I FINALLY took him to a chiropractor who thought like I that it was the Vegas nerve It was!! He’s been almost headache free for 2 years The other “doctors” told me the Vegas nerve is no such thing 🥺

[@nancneumann4196]

I have severe osteoarthritis and degeneration in my cervical spine/ w moderate thoracic damage and ive gone to 2 orthapedic surgeons and one pain management specialist who insist surgery cant help me and that the spine destruction can not possibly be the cause of any of my symptons which include: chronic sleepiness, jaw ear mouth pain, constant headaches ,abnormal eegs and complex apnea. Im going to a sleep study tonight- doc is considering a nerve stimulator for my apneas since cpaps in the recent past only made my nonbreathing incidences worse. Pulmonary and cardiac examinations are clear and normal. If i get neck surgery- wouldnt that alleviate vagus nerve impigements? Also, why dont docs order a dynamic mri, myelogram or something similar? I feel like most doctors here are so ignorant, narrow minded, uneducated- and insurance zombies. People are suffering terribly.

[@jezterschick]

he's so hot. smart and tatooed 😍😍😍

[@beecee4757]

Do you think damage to the vagus nerve could cause Achalasia? I think i burnt my vagus nerve with food, do you think it will heal?

[@shellysistla9037]

No words to say or describe anything.. it's just a great THANK YOU... Really thanks a lot. You are helping a lot of medical and dental students, practitioners and academicians for quick review.. thank you.

[@ruggerogabbrielli6831]

Signals from the carotid bodies travel through the carotid sinus nerve, which is a branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, not the vagus.

[@svenkreutzer5617]

WOW!! Best video ever, thank you very much. You're a very nice tutor and you're way to teach things is amazing! Keep it up, thank u a lot!

[@MarcDaniels7]

So good, its a bit dangerous because it legit has me thinking about returning ONCE AGAIN to school lol. Are you a nuero surgeon? The vagas nerve has a lot of momentum as you probably know in the Deepak Chopra circles. IE Chakras, meditations, etc due to its role in calming the sympathetic flight or fight response. Well done on this informative video. Subscribed!

[@tanayshah7891]

Hit a like if u survived this entire worthy lecture...

[@libbyryantrausch6111]

Thank you! I’ve been a physical therapist for 15 years and wanted for many years to review everything you cover. You’re helping more and more of my clients get better!!

[@adamatova]

How can I like this 100 times?

[@DavidJohnson-qs9mk]

I've listened to a number of youtube videos on the vagus nerve but this was by far the best! Very clear. Easy to follow.

[@annamariathemeli9646]

You are amazing and rarely as a person with such knowledge you are very helpful for the people who are ignorant of medicin and they are fooled by their doctors they have no idea what is going on and the fail in their life but you Re helping them bless you and may God watch over you

[@janefuller6755]

Do you have a video that covers the vagus nerve that controls the stomach? I'll keep looking. Thank you for charting your knowledge. So fascinating.

[@josetrujillo738]

[@tahmidshahriar5102]

Outstanding explanation!!!! Watching from 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@RobertLongM]

Just saying hello 11 months later 🤗

[@user-vj1jp4gk8s]

U r doing a great job..keep it up....making anatomy so simple n interesting

[@pvtpain66k]

I have Gastroparesis & I'm pretty sure it's from damage to my vagus nerve somewhere near the stomach.

[@prastutigoel3286]

You are saving lives of lots of medical students thanks a lot😀😀

[@sophieboisvert]

Sir I am beyond grateful for this precious information. I am researching about the vagus nerve because I hade a surgery that went horribly wrong in 2004. I lost pretty much all the sensation of my face and many years later I learn that my abdominal pain was cause by the nerve damage in my face. I want to eventually share my story and the cover up and lies doctor and the surgeon did. The piece of the this complex puzzle is coming together and all is making so much sense now. I can’t thank you enough 🙏❤️

[@loml4evr196]

Totally agree! This professor & video are a Godsend. I know someone this happened to....mentioned it to several doctors. Total coverup from Neurology to Gastrointestinal to Pain Doctors to Cardiovascular and back through the circus of circles. Not one would even listen to me or consider the subject. Thank you Professor... I think you just won his lawsuit!! Namaste Sir.

[@San-li3ex]

This sucker just keeps going! 😂

[@sumitrabandopadhyay1619]

I am a 74 years lady , you are super talented in your field. I was looking for vagus nerve .... in modern days computer posture whether the nerve gets affected , came across Your site .. mind blowing. Thank you for your hard work.

[@michawooszyn6765]

❤❤❤❤❤ from Poland I'm doing School of Osteopathy and Yours videos are SO helpfull. THX and Dziekuje🙏

[@nvnedits8240]

🤣😍😄👌👍👍 super sir nice explaining..and your body language of explanation..and totally good

[@charithavelpula1714]

You are genius sir! 🏆nice explaination great teacher.

[@katiehopper4282]

Teacher here and wow, love your delivery and approach. Keep it up.

[@davidphilipsmusic]

Great vid. Do you know if damage to the pharyngeal constrictors or soft palate, sustained during an endoscopy, could cause vagus nerve damage resulting in vocal cord paralysis/paresis? Many thanks :)

[@drdebocherry]

How about other CN functions?

[@the_true_medicine]

U r great but I prefer to say motor or sensory or parasympathetic fibers rather than GVA or GVE and so on ☹️☹️☹️

[@nancysaake6497]

I am having issues with my Vagus nerve. This video (while most went over my head) was the easiest one to watch. You really explain it well!

[@ruggerogabbrielli6831]

Great! What about the inotropic action? Of the three cardiac branches I mean. Does any of these help with keeping the force of contraction of the heart to a lower level?

[@dianelindenberger6941]

I have bad anxiety and I am on klonopin.....could it be that my vagus nerve and neck are out of alignment?...my anxiety is so bad that I cannot sleep...help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AD_IT_YA]

You are very helpful thanks sir

[@kumarjeetchakrabarti2386]

You plz come to india

[@miguelirausquin6939]

I think everyone in this comment section has said what I feel about this video, there are no doubts that this is an excellent presentation. I can only say thank you, from a struggling med-student

[@shelleylannon2245]

Long covid survivors such as myself just found out this is the cause to some shortness of breath suffering... Pls look into this Veges neuropathy..long covid..Csn you do an easy vid on how to treat the nerve..

[@reynalindstrom2496]

Amazing exiting lecture! Love from Sweden

[@celow4446]

THANK YOU YOU'RE THE BEST

[@matthatson]

Great introduction to the Vagus Nerve! I use Vagus Nerve Stimulation techniques myself and with many of my clients to great effect in improving wellbeing, decision-making and resilience!

[@RobertLongM]

GSA Fibers - Done! Put’em in a bag - Get’em outta here! 😂

[@amberwebb2429]

Excellent job!! Former PTA andATP. I had C5-C6 fusion years ago. I’m waiting for Neuro appointment to address Vagus nerve damage. It’s been a long road. I have dysphagia, gastroparesis and laxative dependent and on liquid diet. Also, started having ANS issues heart and body temp regulation. I’m 6ft tall and weigh 127 lbs. I have to say it is so weird... when I get nauseous, I sneeze!! Hoping it’s possible for Vagus Nerve Stimulator option. I’m 51 with 3 kids. I sure hope you are teaching or working in health field! There is not enough awareness of this diagnosis, even in the medical field. God Bless you and keep on teaching♥️🙏🏼🕊 NE TN mountains ⛰

[@jimmythedog2882]

How are you doing now

[@ahmadfirdausahmadtajuddin3988]

Cricopharyngeus muscle is part of inferior constrictor of pharynx

[@zlatkopavlovic9502]

It's part of palatopharyngeal muscle☺

[@BenMcleanhall]

what nucleus does the GVE fibres come from in the medulla?

[@abdelrahmanafifi9348]

Thank you so much for the thorough Explanation its unique and really useful :D

[@Muslimcmnty]

Which nuclei GVA and GVE fibre goes to?

[@lynny5510]

How do I heal the vagus nerve and make it work correctly again? I can't digest food and my stomach doesn't empty on its own.

[@BANGIMAN.]

Claire Me too. I’m doing salt water enemas everyday. Coffee enemas every few days which has been very beneficial to my M.S. I’ve just discovered that it could be magnesium deficiency. Try supplementing magnesium citrate.

[@BenMcleanhall]

The way Jesus made the body is just Awesome! How everything is so perfectly connected and working, and how everything is in the exact right place as it needs to be. PRAISE GOD!

[@honey6969100]

We mow have vagus nerve stimulator therapy. How do they help?

[@smorrebrodpunk]

I love your work but holy shit do I hate neurology. How tf will I ever learn all that T.T

[@RobertLongM]

Wow you’re smart, and a good teacher! The 12 who disliked this must have been in his class

[@honeym1904]

I so appreciate it. This is the best way to learn us easily.

[@محمدمحمود-م4و3ح]

Dear doctor your assistant is lasy the camera did not follow you in up and down

[@ShahrukhKhan-kt1uf]

I have a doubt.....Do we have two inferiorgenglia of cranial nerve X (nodosa).... I'm asking because you said so in this video.

[@honeym1904]

By the way how are you so knowledgeable?

[@JerzeyBird]

Wow, dude. Physiologist here. Much respect for your command of the biology. Just found you but will check you out. Thanks.

[@NikeetaMonaSingh]

Why doesnt cardiac have gva fibers?

Excellent job,hats off!

[@prgmalanggamingyt5713]

Excellent xplanation bt i had question what plexuses supply left kidney and Sigmoid colon and Rectum?

[@sherrytruscello7040]

So I suffered a horrific neck injury and since then I've had long GI and heart problems on top of multiple parts of my body being numb and Sensations and being Zapped in the brain and electrocuted from the inside out what does that mean

[@flyingfishsurf]

More than likely related to long Covid.

[@shanzaychaudhry8189]

Hell awesome of a teacher man !!!!!!!

[@黃紹閔]

Hello~ Thanks for your great video. I found that some online resource said that the adrenal medulla is only supplied by sympathetic nerve ; there is no evidence that support spleen,kidney is supplied by parasympathetic nerve.

[@tatianacapodistria8512]

Nothing to do with medicine, anatomy and the like; just a Greek journo inveterately fascinated by the functions of the human organism. BUT your truly amazing, hands-on video helped me decipher some of the decades-long breathing issues I have, ever since that car crash in my late twenties that resulted in a larynx lesion - and a temporary loss of proper articulation. Thanks a bunch. So grateful.

[@dina20031]

26:00 GVA & GVE extra information

[@ochiengjoseph8225]

Thanks so much Professor Zach

[@sf.578]

though I was about to cry at the end of the video.... i understood it perfectly.. cant thank you enough for summarizing all this **** into one precise video... :)

[@Brancaalice]

Seems all branch go through jugular, so jugular vain play important role in nervous wiring.

[@kautukikharbe5350]

Omgggg you are my angel.

[@pitsoray4245]

Quick question..to my knowledge the foregut is innervated by celiac trunk.....but if i heard correctly in this video the celiac trunk went as far as to innervate the midgut....

[@Uprising771]

recurrent laryngeal nerve

[@ramchandravarade31]

Nice information sir thanks

[@richardsilmai9038]

Can it help with my bells palsy snd takayasu aterititis. Deepest appreciation great informations

[@jeromelubabalojacobs8872]

I was intrigued by the GVA and specifically how far the vagus nerve goes in the big intestine. It explained anal sex being possible. I have a hypothesis that if it moved farther and on to the rectum, anal sex would be impossible. I just love how nature prepares itself for all eventualities.

[@dr.shahadathossain1551]

Excellent presentation. Thanks from Bangladesh ❤
