I have started a YouTube channel with intro level physiology available to all.

Whether you are a student or an educator, come check it out and follow @PhysiologyBites where I will tweet every new video!

[Physiology Bites @PhysiologyBites]

First video is now up!
Whether you're studying physiology or just curious, check out Physiology Bites.

The first videos are on muscle with more to come soon in cardiovascular and respiratory physiology.

@jacksonfyfe Do you think they had to reformat after their first submission? That would be fantastic.

@MikeIrvo But the three years before we needed to build an ark were excellent.

Easily one of the coolest and craziest medical images I’ve seen - an aortic arch that extended way up into the person’s neck 🤯

#sciencetwitter

[Ben Perry @BenPerryPhD]

This week is all about muscle @PhysiologyBites

Stick around for EC coupling tomorrow and smooth muscle on Thursday!

[Physiology Bites @PhysiologyBites]

Flex your biceps in the closest mirror, because it's muscle week at Physiology Bites!

Let's start with the basics of skeletal muscle. What is it? What does muscle contraction mean? Find out from the 2022 video:

I've tried something a little different, combining Minecraft with physiology education.

Let me know what you think!

[Physiology Bites @PhysiologyBites]

How does skeletal muscle contract?

Find out using Minecraft!
