hello zach, i think i owe you and your team a big big thankyou as a person from a middle class family living in a place with high inflation rates someone who cant afford tuitions your channel and lectures mean alot to me, i rely on this channel for anatomy physio and sometimes biochem as well, ninja nerds was a huge part of my first year mbbs and i ended up getting distinction in each subject i dont understand local tutors at all but you're here saving my day, thank you so much
You are truly a blessing to all of us, medical students. I wish if i could dedicate my tuition to you and if I wasn’t a poor medical student, I would have definitely donated!! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm, i was never more excited to learn about the vestibule but your excitement is contagious
Dude I just have to tell you how much I appreciate you making these videos. I'm halfway through my second year of Audiology school and your vids have been a lifesaver all along! I've watched all the ear related ones and now that I'm starting to study the vestibular system I REALLY need help. Keep it up! Much love!
As an old pilot, skier, motorcyclist I've been telling anyone that would listen, it's all about your scan, what you're focusing on and how you hold your head. Now I can see why. Thanks for sharing
literally thank you i was rewatching the same parts of one lecture for two hours and i didn't even pause once throughout this video to clarify what you said because you explained everything so well
I know you read the grateful comments for your job and maybe sometimes you just...but I also feel I have to thank you. I do it under this lecture because yesterday was my last exam (physiology) and my main theme to write was for the vestibular alongside semicircular canals. Also I had exchange of CO2 and pancreatic juice. The examiners were impressed how well I understod the material and I passed it with A. This whole 2nd year I was studying alone using your videos and other ones and they helped me a lot (mostly you did help me) and so again I wanna thank you your passion and great way for teaching many people like us,medics,or just curious one. Keep going with the same spirit! P.S. I know maybe I'll be annoying but I see many people have problem with Physics. I think you should make such content,with your way of explanation all will understand the laws from the 1st time :)
Im watching all of these vids on 1.5-2x speed so that i can cram as many as i can xD i love that he actually speaks clearly enough that you can understand him even twice as fast
Hey there, I am a novice with no background of science and anatomy but I am able to understand the way you explain. Making the concepts real through drawings and life examples, is especially helping me. thank you.
im a first year medical audiology student.....and im really satisfied with the way u teach....its very easy for me to understand it...thank you bro....u are better than my lecturers.
You are seriously saving me. My teacher barely explains these topics and just expects us to understand it. I can now say I understand and can participate in class. You explain things so well and the drawings make such a difference. Not to mention you make some seriously funny commentary. Thank you so much for doing what you do it truly makes a difference.
a good way to remember the direction of the hair cells of the utricle and the saccule is to remember that hair cells of the U-tricle are pointing U-pwards, while those of the S-accule are pointed S-idewards. :)
I'm getting my Doctorate in Audiology and all of your cochlea videos and ME stuff got me through A&P!! Now i'm in Vestibular class and I recommend your videos to all of my classmates!! I'm very visual so your videos are amazing!!!
Agreed! Your videos are my first step in introducing myself to the material and then I check out the professors notes and it makes so much sense! Thank you so much for what you are doing!
A sincere appreciation comment from me and probably many other students - this has been the most helpful, precise and detailed explanation available to me, after hours of effort put into understanding. Thank you so much for this video!!
@chris actually we some Indian's love to speak in English to maintain status 😂. literally those status maintained people haven't idea about spelling and also grammar hahaha. By this attitude some Indian's wanna divided us via lower class 😂... by so-called speak in english .... beleave me or not literally that's going on here... Some people who only knows only 2 slangs f***!!! And shit!!! 😂 Out of this they have no knowledge...and they simultaneously use that!!! It doesn't matter if it's a good place or a bad place but they have to use ..lol
I loved this video, ive been doing an entire semester of physiology and only this video has managed to actually break it down from the beginning and explain each section and what it does and what its called. you dont assume knowledge. thank you.
Awesome video! Thanks for the recap, helped a lot! One tiny thing though, when you break or slow down in your car, the otolithic membrane doesn't move forward because it ''makes you tilt your head down'' but because of inertia. Your cranium stops moving but the otoconias don't, which is why they move forward (toward kinocilium) and depolarize the hairy cells. Good luck with your exams!
See this is what tripped me up. His physics was weird here. Do you think you could clarify things further? Imagine you have otoconias in the utricle. As you accelerate in the car, the cranium moves forward and the otoconias are dragging behind, stimulating hair cells. When you stop, suddenly the otoconia slide forward, stimulating the hair cells. Are those two subsets of the hair cells distinct? Is that how the brain decodes the direction of linear acceleration? Is the orientation of the stereocilia really the key here? Hence the utricle is only sensitive to acceleration in a 2D plane (forward back, left right), and the saccuule to a different 2D plane (up down, left right).
I don't know. I feel like if you slammed the breaks, and your head shot forward, the otoliths would move backward. Then when your cranium stopped, they would catch up and move forward.
@@jacobpickett5085 How I got it: Head = solid mass, endolymph = viscuous. When you suddenly move forward, your head manages going anterior but the pudding (endolymph) in your head doesn't yet, so it remains posterior. Since endolymph kind of sticks to otoliths, remaining posterior means otoliths remain posterior; otoliths are attached to the otolithic membrane, so they drag the otolithic membrane also posterior; otolithic membrane remaining posterior equals hair cells bending posterior. When slamming the break it's just reverse. Essentially, head moves faster posterior than otolithic membrane, so hair cells are bending anterior. Please correct me if I am wrong though. EDIT: You can skip the part with the endolymph, I just checked the Boron and it seems like it's not even involved in the otolithic organs. It's purely the otoliths' inertia that matters. Endolymph movement is only important for the semicircular canals where it leads to bowing of the cupula. EDIT2: Ok, I think I got know why it was confusing at first. The whole thing with the inertia does only apply to acceleration. If you tilt the head the otoliths will trigger ipsilateral AP firing while contralateral no AP are fired. EDIT3: "If you tilt the head the otoliths will trigger ipsilateral AP firing while contralateral no AP are fired." this is not entirely correct. Actually, e.g., even though you tilt the head to the right, even some fibers from the left side will fire. Boron has a nice pic.
I have holiday right now , but I'm still watching you . you're really helped and I really thank you ninja nerd you made my study easier and more fun thank you so much
Dear Zach, you are truly the best teacher I have ever listen. I am ENT and I am from Serbia. It was always and still is very difficult to understand vestibular system and examination. So, I would like to ask you to make a video for clinicians about HINTS testing, central and periferial vertigo dif.dg.. Also nystagmus examination and dif. dg. How to approach to a patient with vertigo- chronic and acute? Also it would be nice to make some more videos about tinnitus. This is a huge and very difficult area in medicine and you will help to many clinicians. Thank you
You're awesome. I'm searching for tons of video and till I find you everything seem bright and clear totally. I really appreciate what you've done and do you know that this help me alot. Thank you bro
Thank you SO much! You break things down really well, & help turn "general ideas" into "well-understood concepts", & do an amazingjob of incorporating ALL important info. I need to know for exams. I'm 100% sure that watching your vids have raised my grade by "at least" 1 whole grade:) TY! I'm a Nuclear Medicine student, & "NinjaNerds" vids, are Req. for my A&P courses. My peers love you & my professor does, too:)
Reading 4 pages about the same thing and not understanding and learning made me depressed, but after watching videos in this channel taught me whole thing i dint learn by reading😅 Thanks for beautiful lectures☺
I LOVE your endless enthusiasm for whatever the subject you're teaching, it makes learning so much fun!! 😊 Can't THANK YOU enough❤💕❤💕❣ What a weird & beautiful & awesome & complicated system we all have within our bodies... There will always be questions that remain unanswered. Take care, best wishes from Finland 🇫🇮💕❣
I feel like crying, you've made such a difficult topic a piece of cake 😃 I was going through my teacher lecture's note & couldn't get it. After that I give it a read in guyton but that was of no use. Then I came here & boom 🤗🤗🤗 thanks you so muchh...
i observed this.....his material is as good as dr. najeeb lectures .......but one advantage is he is way faster and to the point without missing out the concepts....
I have complete absence of signals to the brain from one saccule and suspect that I have some utricle issues too given that the car example is exactly the thing that makes me one of the most dizzy. Elevators that aren't smooth-gliding cause me major issues too when they bounce when landing on the floor. My brain also fails to compensate for my saccule's inability to send signals to my brain. This is so helpful to me in understanding my medical issue. Thank you!
Utricle - U --> the shape of the U with hair cells pointing up
Saccule - S -> shape of S with haircells pointing out
Then envision the direction of movement that would cause the prongs of the letter to sway. i.e. left to right or horizontal for U and up and down or vertcal for S
amazing! thankyou for this tip
wonderful! And I myself do a little bit modification: U -> Up, and S -> Sideways

the most underrated channel ever... you deserve all the credit
After 5 years of medicine this is still the coolest thing in the human body to me
