Lockdown Anatomy with Prof Alice Roberts #8: Nerves of the Upper Limb 

Hi Ivan! Hope you enjoyed the video. Hello from Somerset in the southwest of the UK!

Dave Curran We’re still evolving - though slowly.

I'm waiting for the lower back edition for the same reason!

Richard Woods Ouch! Always best to leave a dislocated shoulder out until you can get medical attention - to avoid damaging that nerve. Hope it’s all better now!

Dr. Ahmad Younis That sounds like an excellent task for the students themselves - to consolidate their learning!

Patrick Welch Definitely pulling your leg! Cervical ribs are quite common - and are part of a wider phenomenon where segments in the spine shift a little north or south. Your lowest cervical vertebra “thought” it was a thoracic vertebra, so grew a rib. In the same way, a lower lumbar vertebra may be sacralised, or the first sacral segment may be lumbarised. The on/off “switches” are all chemical gradients across the developing embryo.

Thanks for busting that myth! Looking forward to a lecture on the sciatic nerve and it’s sometimes troublesome pathway/s thru the piriformis muscle.

Phonotical Oh sorry - still trying to fix these transitions! Will try harder...

@@aliceroberts4107 sorry my friend

@@aliceroberts4107 I think you're using iMovie? If you are and you've not found it already, there's a rather well hidden automatic volume normalisation thingy. Select the audio clip so it's outlined in orange, then above the playback pane to the top right there's a little speaker icon. Click that, then click 'Auto' for it to normalise volume for that particular clip. There's an extra volume slider there as well. The waveform in the audio clip should be only just peeking (and peaking) into orange, red being too loud. This does feel like criticising Leonardo da Vinci by telling him his new painting is hung a bit off-kilter. These videos are so good!
