Paul Andersen introduces Anatomy and Physiology in this podcast. He starts by describing how the form of an object fits the function. He then explains the themes of homeostasis and hierarchy. He describes the four major types of...

You’re alive right now… at least I’m pretty sure you are. But you’re not TOTALLY alive. Bits of you are always breaking down, being thrown out, and being replaced. Even right now, parts of you are dying. Some of your cells even died...

When it comes to creating vegetarian meat substitutes, flavor is only one hurdle—smell and texture are also major factors, and scientists have been making breakthroughs on creating a convincing meatless meat experience. We also got some...

What if you could eat chicken nuggets without harming a chicken? It's possible through "cellular agriculture," says Isha Datar. In a talk about cutting-edge science, she explains how this new means of food production makes it possible to...

What if diseases could be treated with a patient's own cells, precisely and on demand? Biotech entrepreneur Nabiha Saklayen explains how we could harness advances in biology, machine learning and lasers to create personalized stem cell...

Heart attacks are the number 1 cause of death worldwide in the 21st century, but we weren't sure what caused them until 1980.

Eva Vertes -- only 19 when she gave this talk -- discusses her journey toward studying medicine and her drive to understand the roots of cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Explore some examples of specialized plant and animal cells with the Amoeba Sisters! Video explains how specialized cell structure suits their function. Table of Contents: Intro 00:00 Specialized Cell Defined 0:26 Animal and Plant Cells...

Human-robot hybrids are advancing quickly, but the applications aren't just for complete synthetic humans. There's a lot we can learn about ourselves in the process.

Many people are looking for ways to reduce their consumption of animal products. And these days, there are a ton of plant-based alternatives to help them do that. But many companies are working on ways to make animal-free animal products...

There’s a connective tissue running all throughout your body that not only holds all your muscles and organs together, but also has sensory and mechanical properties that may explain some poorly understood medical phenomena.

Did you know that if you start working out, your body will kind of "remember" what it's like to be strong, even after you take some time off? How are your muscles able to do that?

Join the Amoeba Sisters a they explore different muscle tissues and then focus on the sliding filament theory in skeletal muscle! This video also briefly talks about muscle naming, some vocabulary (such as agonists and antagonists)...

You may have heard the rumor. Every seven years your body becomes a whole new person. But is there anything to this? Check out this SciShow episode to find out!

What happens when you can't do aerobic cellular respiration because oxygen isn't available? Explore fermentation with The Amoeba Sisters! This video focuses on alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation, and it also mentions how...

There are genetic mutations in the population today that can grant people some seemingly superhuman abilities.

Hank tells us about the city of Eukaryopolis - the animal cell that is responsible for all the cool things that happen in our bodies.

Microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments are all part of the cell's skeleton, which is also known as the cytoskeleton. In this video, we will talk about the structure and function of the cytoskeleton.

Glucose storage in the human body happens in different ways. After eating a delicious slice of cake, our bodies need to process all the sugar we've ingested. Some is used for energy, and the excess is stored.

The heart is practically immune to getting cancer. 2 in 100,000 of those who have cancer are those with a primary cancer of the heart. That is an astonishing low number. So, what is so special about the heart that it rarely, if ever,...

In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses one of the most effective types of exercise for optimizing fitness, health, and longevity, called zone 2 training. He discusses the specific fitness benefits of zone 2...

In this video, Justin from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses the various different ways skeletal muscles appear, and what each unique shape means for its overall function.

This video covers:

- What a cell is made u
p of
- How a tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a common
function
- How an organ is a group of different tissues that work together to perform a...

The video “From Cell to System” discusses how cells work together in the human body to form tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.
