I'm not even in the medical field but with just highschool bio I'm still able to learn something actually, shows just how important a teacher that communicates well really is to learning anything.
actually that student asking the question about giving Glucagon injection (IM or SubQ) @ around 15:30 is true for a pt. who is moderate to severe HYPOglycemic if can not drink/eat 20-30g of carbohydrates. (If you can do IV stuff, then may have to give glucose or glucagon IV if severe). -- nursing student. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS professorfink !!!!!!!! You make my day and get me really excited to learn this stuff and reminds me why I'm want to be in this profession! THANK YOU!
never seen such a wonderful teacher...exellently explained...hats off to such a grt professor...may god bless you ....PLZZZZZ UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS SIR........
Excessive bili levels are considered a critical value for any patient and can cause brain damage and hearing loss. In extreme cases of kernicterus, blood transfusion is advised. Placing infants under UV lamps helps, because UV rays break down bili.
Prof Fink, your lectures are a great gift and you are the most skillful teacher I have encountered. I do quibble with one assertion. I'm making wine and am concerned with the metabolism of alcohol. You say it's transformed in to fat, but I've read that it becomes acetic acid, carbon dioxide and water, even though some energy is released in the process. Can you or anyone comment on this?
itis means infection AND/OR inflammation. For example, arthritis has nothing do do with infection. However, white cells converge on the area and cause inflammation in the hopes that it can remove the uric acid and repair the damage it created from friction.
How does "skipping breakfast often" cause gallbladder stone? The first thing the doctor asked me when she diagnosed the stone in my gallbladder was that question. And I rarely skip breakfast. I see it more as genetic, because my mother had gallbladder stone and removed.
Thanks for the amazing lecture :) one question though, why is the thing holding the two lobes of the liver together called the falciform “ligament”, I thought ligaments held bones together?
Great Question. The best answer I can offer is that some connective tissue structures that do not connect between bones are also called "ligaments". These include structures in the Liver (Falciform ligament) and Uterus (Broad ligament), etc. There are many anatomic and medical terms that are "misnomers" (misnamed), such as the Basal Ganglia in the Brain (which is not a ganglia).
professorfink OK, thanks. I’m starting a medicine degree this October and I’ve just been going through your lectures as preparation, they’re really helpful :)
Prof Fink you should know that glucagon injection can be given in case of hypo - its an im injection in case of emergencies if you don't have access for iv glucose and patient unable to take anything orally. We keep it on all our "hypo" boxes
Good video, although I have removed gallstones several times doing a liver/gallbladder flush with apple juice, lemon, olive oil and epsom salts. I am doing another cleanse this week. Dr. Andreas Moritz has great videos on you tube regarding this.
Can't we dissolve the gallstone , if we take bile as bile stored in the gallbladder start dissolving cholesterol stones once they come in contact with bile?
Your lectures are amazing thanks for sharing.one question professor .you said (the digested nutrient and substance absorbs from GI tract and caries to the liver by hepato portal vein ).as we know liver is a storage organ most of substance store in liver .so when the blood comes out from liver by hepatic vein into inferior venacava to the right Atari to the right ventricle so on ....is the blood contains the products which absorbed before?and body how can get the absorbed nutrient which Ned it ?
+m.safar Sayedy Nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract are carried to the Liver by the Hepatic Portal Vein. The blood leaving the Liver (in the Hepatic Vein) still contains plenty of nutrients that are delivered to the cells of the body. The amounts of every nutrient in the bloodstream is maintained almost constant by "homeostatic reflexes" involving the Nervous System and Endocrine System.

I wonder if anyone has ever thought of using engineering modeling in the teaching of anatomy? When an engineer does a design of a large complex system, they sometimes start by viewing a future product in terms of the functions it performs and how these functions interact with one another. The interactions are performed via the exchange of data between functions. Functions may be broken down into multiple lower level functions which also exchange data among themselves. Doing this form of analysis is known as doing a functional breakdown. Looking at these lectures, it strikes me that you could perform a functional breakdown of the human body using data flow diagrams and then map the functions to the anatomical structure and the data flows to the exchange of hormones etc...
