Coming back to thank Hank years later. I now work in healthcare and so much of my basic knowledge I’ve learned because of this crash course. Thanks Hank!
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos! I started watching your videos in 2015 when taking prereqs for my RN. Now I am graduating next week! You've helped alot with concepts.
my mother was rh negative and i was her second child with rh positive, they didnt know until i was born and i had to have blood transfusions as a new born, im so glad this was so well explained, i myself had a hard time understanding and explaining this to people, you guys are the best :3 love from a positive, who still doesnt know her blood type other than it being rh positive
***** why suing...? You don't know her (i assume she's a she) age. The prevention of giving anti-RhD to RhD negative mothers with RhD positive baby's is not that old...
blackmesa232323 Didn't I tell you puns run in my *blood*. Be *A positive* part of the pun community and tell the others I'm the king, also tell them not to *B negative* about the new blood dynasty. Failure doesn't run through my *veins*. Where the *bloody* hell are my pun fans? You *aorta* be a fan too.
I watch every single one of Crash Course's videos, and have for a couple years now. I want to say how absolutely expertly these series' are done. I would never, ever want to listen to anyone tell me about the things I learn on Crash Course. But the hosts of each of the series' have such a critical sense of not sounding arrogant nor condescending. I don't know how the group got together, but it's one of the very rare instances in human kind's history which will remain mysterious as far as how such a truly extraordinary group of people (each absolutely extraordinary and forward thinking in their own personal way, and through their own individual lives) found each other, chose to each make a go of this, and came together in such a cohesive, consistently unique, genuine, and somehow entertainingly knowledgeable way.
I rather pay double my tuition to this guy and his family rather than my professor.. He's getting me through Nursing school, this man needs raise my word
I may be 4 years late saying this... but my curiosity about my low white blood cell count lead me to your videos. Your explanations and visuals really help me understand everything. Thank you so much.
How did you make this so easy? We've been going over this for weeks and it all makes sense now. THANK YOU! When I'm a pharmacist and not eating ramen I will support crash course forever
CRASH COURSE YOU ARE A SERIOUS LIFE SAVER!! This channel makes anatomy interesting, easy to understand and even fun to learn. Thank you so much, this helps so much in my anatomy class.
This channel helps me so much with my anatomy and physiology tests. Hank goes over a lot of key points that my instructor did, and he explains it a little better to be honest.
Interesting fact: while the AB and Rhesus blood groups are the most common blood types for consideration with blood transfusions, there are actually dozens of different blood type groups, that all measure different things. For example, an individual can be AB, D positive, and at the same time M and N positive (MNS system), K positive (Kell system), Le^a or Le^b negative (Lewis system), and so on. ...It took me forever to memorize all of these in school :/ haha -Nathan
I didn't think I'd learn much because I usually get lost with all the words in biology. But this is actually very well taught. Thank you team Crash Course
I've heard the different kind of blood types described several times before but I never quite grasped it until this video with it's very helpful visual aids. Thank you.
Idk what it is but whenever I get sleepy studying all I have to do is look up a Crashcourse video and it wakes me up and gets me pumped to study some more!
To add on, the endothelium is the single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Thank you for the amazing videos Crash Course! Great way to make use of the time I have on my hands right now.
Ive never watched all the way through the end of any crash course video where he says who wrote the script and who he consulted so basically this whole time I've thought he was the smartest person on earth and knew a ton of random topics in depth
Jerzy Majka Hey! So Rasputin was a holy man who became associated with the Russian royal family. The tsarevich, Alexei had hemophilia, so Rasputin was called in to heal the prince. It worked, the prince felt better and so from then on Rasputin became a recurring figure in the royal family, which was VERY controversial at the time. XD
thank you sooooo much for this video. I was having really hard time understanding blood antigens and their relationship with doning blood. This video saved my bacon!
Ah, I'm at the end of my course - thank you so much for all these RUclipss. You and your team have made studying a pleasure, actually had many laughs, and learned so much.
The best man ever and the best show ever...for any student it is a time savier... thus mean MY life savier which end to be ..YOU my real hero. real thanks for you and also for donors thats keep it alive.
8:50 actually the antibodies from the mother attack the baby, not the other way around, in most of the cases. To answer the obvious question of why on the Rh group matters in the case of mother to fetus blood contact it is because the antibodies against ABO antigens do not cross the placenta but Rh antibodies do.
i love these vids so much but I just wish hank would speak a litttttle slower. I always have to watch at 0.75x speed to really grasp the concepts. anyway, will always be a Crash Course supporter!
Four years too late, but the reason is because the Romanov family hired Rasputin, a holy man, to treat their son Alexei's (the heir of the throne of the Russian Empire) hemophilia. It worked, surprisingly. No one knows what he did exactly (he kept it secret because he wanted a reason to stay close to the family), but it is suspected that he removed something that was making him more ill (can't remember what) from his environment.
I'm not sure why but out of all the Bio Crash Course videos this one squigged me out the most. I don't think I have a blood phobia but I do have a needle one.
I like crash course but I think the host speaks too fast. I'm a slow learner so the rapid speaking kind of confuses me. Other than that, I really do appreciate this crash course :-D
"Your blood is the one component of your body that we haven't figured out how to reproduce synthesize or imitate." That's great. It might be more impressive once we've got a better handle on Immunology.
I was told in my biology class that universal recipient and universal donor have no meaning in the present as cases when different type of blood is transfused are very rare nowadays. But guess these terms might help to understand the whole concept better?
Interestingly, we are closer to replicating blood now. Cambridge has released data on their attempts to replicate erythrocytes from donated bone stem cells, which have gone pretty well.
Whole blood is only one type of blood donation you can do! Many people will be familiar with donating plasma only, which can be done more frequently than whole blood donation. If you're O Neg like me and your blood is in high demand (and you find it hard to make it out to the donation centers frequently), you can donate a double unit of red blood cells. They put your blood in a centrifuge periodically while you're donating and pump the plasma back in. If you choose this method of donation, the donation centers get more usable blood cells from you, and you don't have to go back a few months, so it's easier on your schedule.
I've always been bothered by the concept of blood types. What are their real purpose? Because it seems that it only serves to identify foreign red blood cells and destroy them, but what practical purpose does it have? If I being O type receive B type, there is an immune response towards that foreign blood which is harmful to my body. But obviously nature wasn't thinking about blood transfusions when blood types evolved, so maybe if a little of foreign blood enters my body then the reaction isn't harmful (although I don't know in which scenario would this happen). But how would this be useful? I mean that having foreign red blood cells wouldn't be harmful, foreign bacteria and other pathogens would be, but those have their own antigens. So then what? Also it would seem that this system works towards other humans' blood only, since an O type has antibodies for A and B antigens, which would only be present on other people. And having the antigens certainly isn't necessary for our immune system to recognize our red blood cells since O type people live just fine. A final question would be how is it not a problem to transfuse O type blood. The blood contains antibodies for either A or B, so if either of them receive them, those antibodies will attack their red blood cells and should produce an immune response. So what's the deal? Does the immune response not happen or is O type blood always filtered of these antibodies?
I may be too tired to understand most of what you are asking, but the last question is easy. Type O can donate to A and B because type O lacks any antigens. Antibodies are only present in the serum or plasma and most donations are packed red blood cells. Rarely is whole blood transfused. So in this instance you are only concerned with the antibodies of the recipient vs the antigens of the donor. Type A has B antibodies and Type B has A antibodies but it doesn't matter because there are no antigens on the surface of those red blood cells to react with those antibodies. Same reason type AB is the universal recipient. Since they have A and B antigens, they have NO antibodies, so they have nothing to attack antigens on the surfaces of any blood cell type.
Kim Bishop oh so most of the transfusions done are red cells transfusions. That makes sense because it gets rid of the antibodies problem. Thank you. The rest of my questions were a bit more abstract because they refer to the evolutionary advantage of having different blood types. I've been thinking about it and it may be because it may provide more genetic diversity that could help with diseases, since if a blood type is weaker to a disease, not everyone would be at risk. The problems with transfusions would be more of a side effect. I don't know. If later you can read it again and possibly understand what I said and give me your thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it. :)
Ciroluiro From my non-specialist understanding, the blood types are just a chance consequence of the antigen-antibody system. We evolved antigens and antibodies capable of detecting non-native antigens as a way of protecting ourselves from foreign bodies. Once that system was in place, it continued to evolve and diversify into many different kinds of antigens and antibody responses. So it's not so much that blood types evolved as a specific trait, but when we evolved antibodies, some of them happened to be specifically for blood cells, and as a consequence of that we got different blood types.
***** And now we have the capability to 3-D print hearts and lungs with the proper equipment. We're close to a medical, materials, and physical science revolution in some respects. In others, however, we might as well just not have that field of study.
***** And look at how much tech has improved since then. Can't be much longer now. We can whip up a batch of stem cells perfectly tailored to any individual, and we actually did produce a cloned viable human embryo (though it was distroeid after 14 days for ethics reasons.). I mean come on, back in the 70's we had barely produced the CAT scan, let alone had time to use the data gathered via them.
+Meep ‘the’ Changeling No doubt we can. :-) It's more a question 'Why would we"... The fact that it can be done, doesn't mean it's cost effective in every case. Let alone the time factor in case of major trauma.
So lets say a person with type O+ blood donated blood to a person with type A+. Why wouldn't the A antibodies from donor's blood attack the cells of the recipient? Are the antibodies take out when the blood spins around in the centrifuge.

Passed my first anatomy class, and now you're making life easier for A&P II. We appreciate you Hank! (and team)
Honestly the best page on youtube for all students around the country. And the world for the matter
Nick T world*.
JUP! watching from Holland and probibly saved me from a 3 (F)
I'm in West Africa and this is the only reason why I am not lost in class
Yup, I'm in Thailand. Crash course has saved me in soooo much.
India here...this awesome channel has spread far n wide
Coming back to thank Hank years later. I now work in healthcare and so much of my basic knowledge I’ve learned because of this crash course. Thanks Hank!
Crash course is the best channel on RUclips for students like me. They really make things easier to understand and thank you 😊
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos! I started watching your videos in 2015 when taking prereqs for my RN. Now I am graduating next week! You've helped alot with concepts.
the human body is like one awesome team with a terrible captain at least for me
LOL tru
lol
here take my money 💰x300
Your profile is the expression for this
Passed my first anatomy class with the help of these videos and I’m currently crushing A&P II. If you’re struggling just keep watching crash course!
my mother was rh negative and i was her second child with rh positive, they didnt know until i was born and i had to have blood transfusions as a new born, im so glad this was so well explained, i myself had a hard time understanding and explaining this to people, you guys are the best :3 love from a positive, who still doesnt know her blood type other than it being rh positive
***** why suing...? You don't know her (i assume she's a she) age. The prevention of giving anti-RhD to RhD negative mothers with RhD positive baby's is not that old...
Watching this is a bloody good time. Hank almost red my mind.
blackmesa232323 You should go to the _pun_ itentiery.

This channel helps me so much with my anatomy and physiology tests. Hank goes over a lot of key points that my instructor did, and he explains it a little better to be honest.
This channel has gotten me 87% on my anatomy physiology exams. Thank you so so much crash course!! My number 1 study tool!
This literally summed up the entire 2nd chapter of my textbook for my Anat Phys 2 class.
You are the reason I have a 99% in my anatomy& physiology class right now. Thank you so much for your videos!

Nathan Hutchcraft me too, we were tested on this with so much more! Was this in med school?
I didn't think I'd learn much because I usually get lost with all the words in biology. But this is actually very well taught. Thank you team Crash Course
Just one word AWESOME...AWESOME...AWESOME...
Plz make videos for Physics and Chemistry as well...
Thanks a lot TEAM CRASH COURSE...
I've heard the different kind of blood types described several times before but I never quite grasped it until this video with it's very helpful visual aids. Thank you.
Crash course is the best channel, if not one of one ! 😮
Cut appears*
Bacteria pops up: are you ready to die you cell?!?
Platelete: Hold my coagulation factor
T-cell: am I late to the party??
Idk what it is but whenever I get sleepy studying all I have to do is look up a Crashcourse video and it wakes me up and gets me pumped to study some more!
Don't read this you have got a lot of studying to do...
I visited this channel for the first time and now i can say that it is the *bestest* video i watched today
This program is so awesome! Has gotten me through some tough concepts in my Ana, Phy, and Chem classes
I'm guessing all the dislikes are coming from Crips
***** Come on people, that deserves more thumbs up!
***** Ha, ha, Funnneeeee....
***** Well played
I dont get it Crips???disable people
Mark Valebcia No, dude, its the name of a gang, their worst enemy are the bloods, geddit?
The haters of the Bloods are the Crips?

Damn. Crash course is much more easier and faster to understand than the 4 hour lectures I have everyday for A&P2.
Thats the cutest WBC I've ever seen! 😁😁😁
This page saves my butt every week before my exams (i'm in an accelerated A and P program this summer and I'd flunk without this page). Thank you!!
Why am I paying thousands of dollars for a college course when RUclips teaches better..
I love that little reference to Rapsutin when talking about blood clotting. I'm studying the Russian Revolution
Did anyone else notice Rasputin at 6:10 when Hank was talking about hemophilia?
OMG TOTALLY XD
I thought exactly the same thing. Has anyone noticed Rasputin and does someone know what he has in common with hemophilia?
Jerzy Majka Hey! So Rasputin was a holy man who became associated with the Russian royal family. The tsarevich, Alexei had hemophilia, so Rasputin was called in to heal the prince. It worked, the prince felt better and so from then on Rasputin became a recurring figure in the royal family, which was VERY controversial at the time. XD

thank you for being here for us crash course you really made life much easier for us.
thank you sooooo much for this video. I was having really hard time understanding blood antigens and their relationship with doning blood. This video saved my bacon!
Ah, I'm at the end of my course - thank you so much for all these RUclipss. You and your team have made studying a pleasure, actually had many laughs, and learned so much.
3:16 like the master sword. You can even see the triforce on it.
This series has been so helpful to my summer class at Rutgers! Thank you!

The best man ever and the best show ever...for any student it is a time savier... thus mean MY life savier which end to be ..YOU my real hero. real thanks for you and also for donors thats keep it alive.
My enduring question: what is the evolutional value of having multiple bloodtypes?
is that rasputin in 6:14?
HE TALKS SO FAST! I LOVE IT
8:50 actually the antibodies from the mother attack the baby, not the other way around, in most of the cases. To answer the obvious question of why on the Rh group matters in the case of mother to fetus blood contact it is because the antibodies against ABO antigens do not cross the placenta but Rh antibodies do.
I scrolled *so far* to find this comment!
Anyone else's mind blow when he said blood was a type of connective tissue?
Lol that leukocyte was holding a master sword 🗡 😂😍
Thank you . You are making things easier for students and teachers too .
The Leukocyte with the Master Sword lol
i love these vids so much but I just wish hank would speak a litttttle slower. I always have to watch at 0.75x speed to really grasp the concepts. anyway, will always be a Crash Course supporter!
I like the fact that the leukocytes has the master sword from The legend of Zelda series
This is way better than anatomy class
O- here. been giving blood since I turned 18
This guy hit every topic on my anatomy test
Was that Rasputin over Hank's Shoulder?

When you’re watching in March 2020 where blood drives are shut down because of the coronavirus
I finally understand blood types! That really wasn't all that complicated and im surprised it took me till age 21 to finally get it.
"its just a body" but if you know deeply how the system work.... truly God has put so much effort ❣️🥺
procrastinated studying for my anatomy exam tomorrow so cramming by watching these 😅
Whos here at 2019?
yassss
Meeeee
The best teacher ever
I like crash course but I think the host speaks too fast. I'm a slow learner so the rapid speaking kind of confuses me. Other than that, I really do appreciate this crash course :-D
Playback speed 0.75? Makes Hank sound like he was dropped as a child tho.
Just slow the speed down easy fix, also try professor dave explains!
if in Uganda we had such lecturers I would no longer be a late comer and I will understand topics in just minutes. anyway u r good at this thing

Always wondered what the blood types meant. Very informative, as always.
Wondering how this is blood part TWO…

You are the BEST, you r so GOOD🤞🏆and know how to simply things and make it interesting!!!
I have Heamophilia B and I find this video great! You have explained this concept better than anyone i've heard before, perfect. I love your videos.

The fact that it can be done, doesn't mean it's cost effective in every case. Let alone the time factor in case of major trauma.
