[prettiwylde]

[hot4lyrics]

Thanks. Helped me on my exam.

[Zappa1353]

I'm a tutor in the Anthropology/Biology lab at a community college. This video is extremely helpful when I find that beginning students haven't learned their terms yet!

[tkb1tch]

i am taking a dms class do u have any other viedos that would help me 

[victoriapschen]

I am going to be taking a university course in anatomy and structural biology, without much knowledge at all in the topic. (did mostly ecology, evolution and bioengineering in college) And I find your videos useful and easy to understand. Would you have any other recommendations as to what can prepare me for the university course? Much thanks!

[sugarcoated122]

haha love the humor. i'm taking an A & P class next year in high school and i think ill def be watching more and more of your videos.

[Spassgeneral]

Great video!!!

[Starwasp]

dude you rock! Thank you

[Charmed20077]

Thank you for posting these videos on here! Totally cleared it up for me. YOU ARE AMAZING

[mel2mrtnz]

BRAVO! this video was excellent. straight to the point,comprehensible and bearable. much appreciated!

[chelzeydarling]

Okthis guy is awsome! this helps tons

[TheHaloreachrocks]

Im in Nursing and this video helped me ALOT!!! Thanks

[Tosingen]

This swedish nurse to be thank you A LOT for this video. :D

[daddycubjudah]

Very grateful for the wealth of info that can be found on utube!

[TeriLately]

Love the video! Thank you. What about valgus and varus? Does anyone have a video describing this? (Not the stress test.)

[MsBAPBio]

When comparing two parts of a limb, the proximal part is the one closest to the point to the trunk of the body (or the point of attachment). The Distal part is farthest from the trunk of the body (or point of attachment). Proximal/distal are terms used for the limbs specifically. Thus the elbow is proximal to the hand and the hand is distal to the elbow. Hope this helps.

[FallensBlackouts]

WHY ARE YOU DON'T MY A&P TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blackballoon1223]

thanks so much! i wanna sign up for your class IMMEDIATELY mr ford!!!!

[Starrlite77]

This helped me a lot! For some reason I couldn't get it at all, but thanks to you I got it!

[10MANUTD7]

Thanks man

that video really helped alot ..

isn't there any video explains the Terms of Movement such as : ( Flexion X Extension , Abduction X Adduction , Pronation X Supination...etc ) ??

and for the guys who are conflected with proximal and distal , I just wanna say that these to words are the opposite of each other , so if the elbow is PROXIMAL to the fingers , then the fingers are DISTAL to the elbow .

Sorry Mr Ford, just trying to help

I wish I can find a Terms of Movement video

[TeriLately]

@10MANUTD7 There is a video called 'Joint movements' by user Cuvi17 with a time of 7:06 . It helped me a LOT. I hope that helps.

[jusdaticket]

I'm learning this from my cyq level 2 gym instructor book, and to be shown here is just a great way to make sense of it all, top man.

[jeexjeexnaan]

I wish you were my anatomy teacher....

[DirectorCage]

You're the best! Thank you very much! Teachers at schools have stopped trying to teach nowadays.

[fsomineus]

Thank you so much for doing this. If u can give me some examples for Distal and Proximal I would really appreciate it. This part is so confusing.

[shogo313]

This video helped out a lot, Thank you so much

[ddouros1]

Thank you soo much, I got it now!!!! The book was confusing me, but now I know them! Thank you!

[internationalgirlish]

Thanks you made it so easy.

[chicsurfs]

Your GOOD!!!! Great teacher and I like you hahahah!

[rippertimmy3491]

Dude, you are awesome. I'm taking an EMT course right now, and it's not like this stuff is at all hard, it's just hard to listen to for 8 hours. Thanks to you, it took me 11 minutes to learn all the terms I couldn't pay attention to in class for like 3 minutes and would have had to toil away at for 20 reading. Good man.

[Rmk12890]

Thank You Mr. Ford!!! 46 years old and going back to school for Nursing. I very much appreciate the way you teach and explain concepts. You make the material easy to understand by your concrete explanations. Thank you again.

[ZZchaz]

Wow, you seem like a great lecturer. Wish you taught at my school. ;)

[juke52]

i wonder what recording equipment is used here...

[mrfordsclass]

@juke52 It got better LOL. I used a JVC Everio HDD camera (do not recommend), wireless mic, bed sheet and Camtasia. I was later able to upgrade the lights and backdrop.

[patriciacooksey]

@juke52 Really helped me remember body positions!

[crazygirl752]

thanks this is a great help. plus your hilarious, which makes it fun to learn!!!

[cuteandpecantan]

Great video...Very helpful!!!

[saraloveethan]

You are an awesome teacher!!!! Im fixing to take A and P 1 next semester. Your videos really help me. Thanks Mr. Ford :)

[bahethHaq]

I am a novice to anatomy and I like it (thank you) . Is any body knows about a good books about the subject?

Thanks

[warmongermattias]

Excelente!!! Great teacher for all visual students out there!!!

I am bless to have teachers such as yourself who understand the importance of teaching us the visual students!!!

[madej1858]

i wish you were my bio teacher in college, i have repeated this course 3 times and i been super lost. But i wish i saw this video before taking my lab quiz. Sometimes teacher are super bored and are not very clear in teaching because they only do it for the money. I think that if there were teachers like you , am sure that more than half will pass.. You took only 7 min to teach this and in lab it took my teacher around 45 min to explain it.

[cuomolee]

thank you! helped me alot in anatomy class. 5 stars!

[cuomolee]

thank you! helped me alot in anatomy class. 5 stars!

[Saleh0008]

Honestly, i wish you are my instructor, so any way keep posting the great job and thank you very very much for everything you do.

[shannon111111111111]

my teacher told me to watch this, and im only in 7th grade, thanks so much

[mrfordsclass]

Thank you! What class are you taking, that this video would help with?

[K9uso]

thanx KEFE

[Noahthebeast09]

Excellent thank you

[jcesar085]

thanks alot, this will be very helpful for all my lectures remaining.

[mightylight2]

THanks alot... You the best... Great sense of humor......

[ladypanzee]

This video is amazingly great. Thank you.

Just a small problem re proximal and distal. Please eplain why the elbow is proximal to the fingers and the hand is distal to the wrist.. This does not make sense to me. This is what I was told. I know that the leg is proximal to the toes and the elbow is proximal to the arm.

Thanks for your response,

[victoriapschen]

@ladypanzee I think that makes perfect sense according to what was explained in the video. The hand is connected to the wrist, and I would assume that the hand comes from the wrist, so the hand is distal to the wrist, wrist is proximal to the hand. The elbow is the origin of the entire hand, wrist and lower arm so the fingers would be distal to the elbow and the elbow would be proximal to the fingers.

[BilimoriaA]

@ladypanzee Proximal and distal are related to like the point of origin (can't come up with a better way to explain it) to the rest of the body. The arms are connected to the rest of the body through the shoulders. Therefore, the elbow is proximal (closer) to the fingers because the elbow is closer to the shoulder joint than the fingers. The hand is distal (farther- think of distant) to the wrist because the hand is farther away from the shoulder joint than the wrists are.

Hope this Helps!!!!!!

[asos890]

amazing, i leant it all in this video!!! i was struggling before and my exams are in a week. so thnk u soooo much! I wish u were my teacher! :(

[letsgodobsflips09]

Thanks!

[Diablopup]

Thank you for posting this video! I wish my instructors had us do the Hokey Pokey and Simon Sez. It might have seemed silly at first, but it would have helped to reinforce the terms.

[rebreather]

Awesome video, thanks for teaching us!!! A great teacher makes a HUGE difference

[Jaspersshadow]

[ameerazim1]

[katiehirschman]

thanks i love theses videos!!! i am way more confident now..thanx

[gvrdoc]

Mr.Ford's Anatomy & Physiology: In this video we take a look at how we talk about ...

Body Positions in relation to Anatomical Position, is a concept that all Anatomy and Physiology students need to grasp early on in their studies. In this video we take a look at how we talk about positions on the body.

[killintymm]

this is fantastic. wish there were more people who knew how to teach.

[Defense1on1]

Thanks for posting!!!!! I can't tell you how long I have been searching the internet for this. Keep posting!!!!!
