      @arjanharjani3109 7 лет назад +49

      I was able to learn about all the muscles and bones and everything else through pure reinforcement and practicing with my classmates- our books did not even have much color but we used our imagination and used the cadavers and ourselves to keep ahead of the curve. Med school was fun because we chose to be excited about what we learned and not pressured because of grades!

  • @crashcourse
    @crashcourse  12 лет назад +133

    we are attempting to cover the topics that would be taught in a year long AP level Biology class, equivalent to a 101 level in a college or university. so it will be more complex than general high school biology.

    First of all, thank you so much. Second of all, for those who think he is talking too fast, you can go to your viewing settings and lower the speed- not only is it slower, but it's slightly hilarious.

    @joet5342 9 лет назад +69

    Always astounded at how Hank and the team make science, especially complex anatomical functions, so accessible, when so many mind numbing videos on the internet bang on for hours with complex 'shit' for want of a better word.
    Of course science isn't 'easy', there'd be no fun if it were no challenge, but these people give you all the jargon and all the action without all the boredom.
    Great show.

    Two small questions:
    - Do you workout a little or not at all?
    - If you don't workout: How much did your arm hurt the next days from all those curl reps?

    He forgot to mention that muscles are antagonistics. Therefore, if one contracts the other one relaxed. So ATP IS REQUIRED ALWAYS

Don't however tell him he sux as a teacher as that will assuredly get you bad grades!.

    • @crow4834
      @crow4834 5 лет назад

      When the third phosphate is removed from ATP, you get ADP. The molecule has much less chemical energy, because the high energy bond between the last 2 phosphates has been broken.
