Human Anatomy Education

Supports classroom teaching and emphasizes applied aspects of anatomy including cross-sectional, imaging, surgical, clinical, developmental, and surface anatomy.

The Channel is targeted at health sciences and medical students and professionals. It contains material that may be confusing to a lay audience.

After watching this video, you will be able to differentiate primary vs secondary lymphatic tissue. You will identify thymus structures: interlobular septum, Hassall’s corpuscles, and involution. You will describe lymph node organization: cortex, medulla, trabeculae, vessels, hilum, and germinal centres. You will recognize spleen histology: white pulp, red pulp, and central artery. You will identify MALT: Peyer’s patches, appendix, palatine and lingual tonsils. You will relate diffuse lymphoid tissue (esophagus, alveolar macrophages) to function.
By the end of this video, you should be able to differentiate the conducting vs respiratory portions of the bronchial tree, and between trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolar sac, alveolus, and type I vs type II alveolar cells. You will explain the role of mucous, cilia, cartilage, smooth muscle, surfactant, alveolar macrophages, goblet cells, basal cells, neuroendocrine cells, and alveolar epithelium in respiration. You will identify the histological layers of trachea, bronchus, and bronchiole. You will recognize respiratory epithelium, basement membrane, cilia, goblet and basal cells. You will distinguish fibroblasts, lymphocytes, dust cells, and the pleura. Overall, you will integrate structure and function of respiratory passages and alveoli.
After watching this video, you'll be able to identify the layers of blood vessels and the heart. You'll differentiate between arteries and veins, muscular and elastic arteries, and small vessels like arterioles, venules, and lymphatics. You'll also distinguish cardiac from skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle fibers from Purkinje cells. Key features like vasa vasorum, intercalated discs, and endothelial function in tunica intima will be explained. The role of mesothelium in the epicardium will also be discussed. Finally, you'll relate structure to function in capillaries, veins, elastic, and muscular arteries.
