Nephrology - Kidney and Nephron Overview 

not going to lie, I passed my high school biology because of you. I really enjoyed studying because of you and that's why I decided to pursue something related to biology and I'm currently a first year med student.

Absolutely love your videos Armando! Everyone...stop pointing out that he made the smallest of all errors in the INTRO video to a very complex concept. He's trying to draw, figure out how to fit everything into a small picture, and make sure he doesn't go ahead of himself and include things that aren't supposed to be included until later videos. And when he's doing the voice over, he has to talk really fast to keep up with the fast-forwarded video, and it's extremely difficult for him to pronounce a lot of these words....he's trying his best. Excellent job :) You make nephrology (quite a boring subject) not so bad! Thanks xx

I love your videos and they've proven to be an EXCELLENT study aid, but if I can make one little clarification at around 1:00. Urine passes through the ureters into the bladder and then out the urethra. A man's urethra is located in his penis, but women don't pass urine out of their vagina - it comes out of their urethra, too, which is located right above their vaginal opening. thanks again for all your hard work!!

Based from the feedbacks of first year medical students, Renal Physiology is the toughest topic to study. So, as an incoming freshmen, I am studying these topics in advanced, and your videos really are a big help for me to grasp the important concepts under these topics. Thank you very much Sir!

Yes you are correct bladder than urethra. Should probably correct that thanks. And the vagina I just said as a general statement :/, but yes its not technically the vagina, but some where close to it. thanks again for pointing that out.

I'm medical student from Thailand. Thank you so much for making such great videos. I really appreciate it. These are very useful. ^^

urine not excreted through vagina. distal convoluted tubule. great video. awesome drawings.

Thank you for your time and effort on this videos. I am studying for the MCAT and I am very thankful to have the visuals and explanations you provide.

The best explanation about the work of the kidney .. Raja translated into Arabic

Technically, the urine is 'not" expelled through the vagina, but the urethra is actually part of the vaginal anatomy...so give this excellent man a break. I am actually beginning to understand my class and am feeling more confident. Thank you for all your hard work, considering you are doing it to help others and not get criticized for it.

Your videos are great!!! I like your drawings and the way you teach...and because of it, I've won a medical competition in my province...Thank you so much!!!

One thing is drastically incorrect is the statement at about 05:42, where he says "in the distal convoluted tubule where blood will still be travelling.." no blood travels in the tubule system of the nephron, just pre-urine. In the Bowman's capsule blood passes from the afferent arteriole to the efferent arteriole, while the waste products remain in the urinary space and then go on to the PCT and to the loop of Henle. All in all, you MIGHT have blood in your DCT, but then you'd have blood in your urine, and that is a problem. :)

You’re simply amazing! Thankyou for saving my a* everytime in exams

You are a Gifted teacher. I am so grateful for your videos. FNP student

Your videos are just the perfect thing to watch do when I'm tired of reading but i don't want to get distracted in 9gag or whatever

Wow! you are such a gifted teacher and so smart in bio and so talented in art! Thanks so much!

ur way of teaching is v explainable ...i 90 prcnt watch up ur vedio for anatomy n physio stuff

This was great! ughhh the struggle of being a visual learner!! haha Thank you!! This video was awesome!

awesome! much better than any textbook or 3D animation

very unique style of presentation. The synced illustrating with the commentary/narration, an added plus. Looking forward to seeing more of these.

Armando your videos are SO HELPFULL thanks so much. God bless you

thank you soo much Im a pharmd student and your videos are so much useful for me. you save me really

Your sketch tutorials are excellent! You are gifted with teaching and drawing and medical understanding!

You are my best teacher!

Outstanding video!!! Clear and concise. Though I believe it would be nice if you can provide subtitles next time so that we can follow your speech more effectively. Great vid!

love this channel omg the most helpful thing I've come across. but also at 1:00 i love how he says we pee from our vaginas smh LOL

I am really speechless sir!!You are a blessing for us

there is an saying say do 100 things right and one thing wrong thats what people will notice and make it big deal just like all these people are doing. people never fail to amaze me. I love your videos and they are very helpful and fun to watch. I hope you dont mind all these people who seems to never make mistake.

Thorough and easy to follow. You are an amazing man. God bless you.

Hi Armando, you are brilliant. Your sketches are powerful and you make complicated things simple. I love your way of teaching. Keep up doing this creative things on complicated machine miraculously designed by the god.

U are amazing!!!! This helped me prepare for my A & P II test!!!!

AWESOME DRAWINGS!

You're so amazing. Please make more! This has been so helpful while I study for the MCAT.

great video. but i think it is a bit misleading to color the efferent arterioles blue as they don't become veinoles (typically blue colors) until after passing through the capillary bed in the vesa recta, which as you mentioned eventually becomes the renal vein and inferior vena cava.

Thank you for your videos Armando. You have made my revision so easy...your videos are very helpful, and your amazing drawing skills help me remember every bit!

love your voice! it was kind of hard to follow how fast you were going, but in general, LOVED IT! will continue watching your videos

DUDE, That was one of the best videos I've seen yet. EI

Awesome as usual! I wish you taught my Physiology class!

thanks prof, your lecture is simple and straight to the point

Great starting point to help understand Nephrology. Thank you!

very impressive drawings. i like the writing being sped up compared to other videos

Your videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you for putting in such an amazing effort and I love that you are doing something creative to help it to stick into your mind.

This was so helpful. It is really helpful for visual learners like myself.

Very nice video, helped me put things together in my head so much better after reading about the kidneys

The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space, not in the abdominal cavity. Anyway, a very nice video like always!

That was so helpful! Thank you for helping me pass my final exams!

What a miracle the human body is. Thank you for your very enjoyable videos that are amazing!

Really well done videos, subscribed to your channel. This is very interesting, I'm learning a lot about kidney.

this was suuper helpful and extremely well organized ! thank you so much sir i'm so grateful for your efforts

Hey mate, I actually lost this picture...see if I can find it anyways, if i do ill upload it ASAP

Thank you, very simple and well illustrated

Awesome as always Armando

Thank you so much!

wow!! love it. expert in making diagrams ..

I appreciate your videos, but you probably want to add some text explaining that the urethra does not excrete urine through the uterus. Thank you for making these videos available for everyone to learn.

1:03 Um... no. Urine doesn't come out of the vagina... Your description of juxtamedullary nephrons versus cortical nephrons was helpful though. And the different types of cells explanation was very good. Probably just a slip of the tongue.

This video is great! Very helpful!!

Great explanation, Thank you

Great teacher

Thank you,the video helped a lot.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING

Dude, how do you learn all these details and remember it? :O Or do you revise before you make such a video, because your narration seems effortless! Compliments on great work!

Thank you so much, helped a lot (now I don't have to read my chapter!)... It took me a bit to understand that you were talking about your-in, I believe you pronounce it your- eye-n... Anyways, thanks a million very detailed and the art work really helps the process of understanding it. Thanks!!
