Iron Physiology 

Man you should publish your drawing as pdf format so that we could print and hang it on our desk! please think about this!

Really, Armando. You always talk about the topics most of us students have the hardest time understanding. You are amazing and I am really grateful that you make these videos. It's making medschool much more enjoyable. Thank you a lot.

this is so helpful!!! NOT EVEN MY PROFESSOR IS ABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS AS WELL AS YOU!! I am sure this will get me a good grade in CELL BIOLOGY.

Beautiful! I loved watching you draw-I didn't need all of the information for my physician assistant class, but I was mesmerized and watched almost the whole thing. Thank you!

Man i love you !! when i see your videos i feel relaxed because i will understand

I have low iron and want to understand how it affects my body. I'm not even studying medicine and I found this really fascinating and accessible. Thank you.

WOWWWWWWW Now THAT is an explanation, so simple, direct and easy to understand thank youu Prof.Armando God bless ur soul :"D

This is awesome Armando Hasudungan. I'm super grateful that you take the time to make these videos!!!!!!! God bless you.

Great,, I wanna add that ..HFE gene protein product facilitates the binding of transferrin to its receptors ,,leading to increased storage ..meaning that the body senses that there's enough iron , so the liver starts to make hepcidin to inhibit the absorption of more iron... When HFE is mutated ,,,stores aren't filled properly , hepcidin isn't synthesized , reabsorption goes unrestricted and unregulated >>iron accumulates in blood>> then it deposits in tissues

Thank you! This was exactly the explanation I needed to sort through some confusing experimental iron measurements. In-depth enough that I see the complexity, but simple enough that I grasped the concept.

I always crack up when you say "I hope that makes sense"

That looks by far the hardest thing you had to explain, and it surely took you a lot of time to summarize it and organize it. Thank you a lot. It's really a life saving video.

Somehow you always have the exact amount of detail I need for my courses! Thank you so much :)

this is so insanely good. thank you so much! you just summarized and clarified 56 pages of Guyton's physiology for me!!

Handsdown my favorite medical videos. Much love!

As I end my 2nd year of medical school, I have come to the conclusion that Armando is one of the best “total tutors” on RU-vid. On a one to one comparison, he’s better than Osmosis, which I also respect. Since Armando came before Osmosis, it seems that Osmo can only hope to replicate Armando. I’m super grateful for your channel, Armando.

This is really well done. Would be great if you could do one about transfusional iron overload.

love all your videos! your artwork and science knowledge is swoonworthy!!!

I would say it's perfect, since clear explanations are given. Each n every single detail is clearly explain for better understanding. Love it. Thanks !!!!

Thank you so muccchhhh!!! 😭😭 In 14 minutes, you have very clearly explained something my lecturer could not properly explain in 2 hours. She was so hung up on the every little of each receptor and biochemistry of each enzymes she forgot to explain the process and concept.

Thank you so much. The video helped me a lot!

Thank you so much. This was a very informative and well explained video- it really helped out with my research project!

The video makes iron physiology so clear. Love u !!! That helps a lot !!!

This is GOLD! Thank you Armando!!!

I hadn't understood anything about Iron metabolism until I saw this video. Thank you so much for making it easier to learn and I hope you will improve this channel more in the future. From Vietnamese medical student

Great video 😊 Doing my specializaton's paper work in hemochromatosis and this is so helpful,I passed my physiology exam long time ago, now it's going to be so much easier to review everything 👌

Fantastic. The visual element really helped. Thank you.

Your teaching is amazing!!!! love you man

Thanks a lot for this video. It's amazingly well drawn and explained!

simply perfect.wow . after so many lectures today its clear to me . thank s sir

Excellent explanation for medicos and especially integrated drawings. Hats off

Thank you so much for making it simple. I really appreciate your effort.

These are brilliant well elaborated presentation makes easy in studying medicine.

Thank you so much! This is amazing. Thanks for publishing this. You make it so easy to understnd

This was just amazing, less time, well explained with diagrams and easy to understand 😍😍you should be awarded a nobel prize for this 😀

thnkuu soo much...DAT helped me a lot for my exams....

I think this video is so good it makes me want to live and learn forever. Wow! Thank you, Armando!!

That's great. This makes everything easier to understand! Thanks a lot!

Thank u so much for diagrammatical representation of this video its really helps us to understand easy way

Wow!this is one of your best videos I swear

I'm grateful to you...u have made things so simple ... heartfelt thanks👏

Brilliant well done and illustrated. Thank you!

Awesome explanations 👏🏻👏🏻 I just like the way you draw to tell us clearly✨

I got exam in a week and you just saved my life!! thank you sir!!! I learn more from this video than i learn during class.. the infos is now ingrained in my brain.. savior!!

Thank you very much sir ! I really appreciate efforts you have put to make this amazing video.

Great explanation. Clear and concise. Thank you.

Good explanation, easy to understand.

When we do iron studies, we measure ferritin and transferrin levels from the *serum*. However you describe ferritin as only being located in the liver. I wish you had explained what ferritin is doing in the bloodstream and its clinical correlation.

Thank you, your explanation and drawings make it very clear.

i'm literally about to graduate medical laboratory science, but i'm not gonna lie, this video made me understand more than the two courses i took on hematology....

THANK you for you sincere hard work. Truly GRATEFUL : )

U are amazing....Armando thanku for making the concepts clear....I love watching your videos. ..

thank you !! i passed anatomy and physiology this semester cuz of you ❤️❤️❤️

Wow this was amazing and helped me so much, thank you!!

You make great videos. I enjoy the explanations.

Thank you so much to make my studies so easier.

Amazing , very informative and simple .. thank you 🌹

you are the best !! you are a great help in our medical studies thanx alot !!!

الهي يفتحا عليك من اوسع ابوابه * much love

Iron is mainly recycled in the body via macrophages releasing iron from red blood cells. So infact we only need about 1-2mg supplement of dietary iron absorption daily to account for bleeding, and shedding of skin cells etc.

youre too kind. thanks for making it so much easier

It definitely helps me understand the relationship between ferritin and serum Fe! I am confused about some concepts in hematology, such as TIBC, transferrin and iron saturation. Really hope that someday you could post a video about them. Thanks!

If I could meet your mom i’d tell her what a wonderful son you are lol you are a true life saver! Thank you for your work!!!

You are a genius....I am saying again, you are a true genius.....the way you explained is just made me speechless. Thanks a lot sir......

Great drawings, great explanation! Thanks you!

OMG! It's the first time i see one your you videos and i've already subscribed! Amazing!

Great video sir, very conceptual and clear as crystal

Great, clear, beautiful video!

Thank you so much

Thanks for the video!! Excellent work!

Wonderful handwriting and Amazing teaching skills:)

Needed this for my biomed essay in UK 🇬🇧 cheers from across the pond

Very nice video, and the drawing is relaxing. Could you please do one on hemosiderosis and hepatic iron overload?

This inspires me. Thanks.

God bless you , you are an amazing guy and tutor , and your effort is so much appreciated ♥️♥️

This is what I was looking for! Appreciate it !!!

It would be wonderful if you trademarked your work in the corner because I love your explanations and drawings! Using these to study physiology in medical school has been a game changer for me as a Visual learner. I would use them as a template to recap what I learned from your videos. You should have one fully drawn and blank and another completely done available for download! I hope you continue to help so many other learners!

what a wonderful and detailed explanation, thank you

Always helpful! Thank you tons!!

Very simple and informative too

Very good concept understanding Also very nice painting art it's awesome

What an amazing explanation. Thanks!

You are really amazing teacher sir. I want to be a professor and i wish i could explain everything like you do to my students 😇😊 You are a great help in my studies

your Videos are really great. thanks for them.

Thanks Sir, that was a really thorough explanation....and I think the best video to cover Iron Metabolism....yaaaay!!!

I’ve haemochromatosis - really useful to understand the mechanisms. This information is typically highly inaccessible, so many thanks for making it clear.

Wow these video is amazing.I just had that "A-HA" moment at 10:30. Thanks for the video.

May God bless you!! you really make it easy for hundreds of thousands of people

[23012] Lee I was able to understand the iron absorption process better with the pictures and kind explanations in the video. Thank you.

Thank you so much. That's really helpful .

Is it possible to get an over head shot of the entire page

that's a reference video ... too very informative ..thnk u very much Armando (y)

Seriously that was amazing. Thank You so much ❤❤

I have just been diagnosed with Hereditary Hemochromatosis at the age of 44 and found this video very useful to help me understand what it is and how it affects me. I am now on the look out, to get involved in any research projects on Hereditary Hemochromatosis, if you or any of your followers know of any in the UK please let me know. Or do a video, many thanks.

hey man, theses Vids are a good time, thanks.
