Glomerular Filtration Rate (Part 1: Why Control is So Neccessary)

[MqTSoftware]

Really really helpfull, I understand more from your videos than I understand from all of the year lectures :)). Thank you very much! God bless you! (student in Romania)

[gogomyego]

You're a LIFE-SAVER !!!!!!

[Mstanek06]

I love hohos and dingdongs...

[nicolehatland]

THANK YOU !! from nurs student in Norway = )

[TheMordyS]

Take a few drawing lessons and you're all set :)

[NZrukus]

These videos are well constructed and well spoken, great understanding for my upcoming exams! Thanks bro

[BLACKMONGOOSE13]

Nice work. What is your major?

[conorhennessy1]

You stated that 180L a day is filtered. Is it 180 or 1800 just to clarify?

[zsazsu006]

This is the best explanation I could find about GFR. Thank you so much!

[MrGoodprince]

thank u so much.. it help me alot.. godbless

[sammyweka1]

Hey mate, i'm pretty sure this diagram is incorrect because the Vasa Recta and tubules of the nephron should have contents running in the opposite direction giving the effect of the 'countercurrent mechanism'. Please reply if you agree or you think otherwise

Cheers

[hennagerdj]

@sammyweka1 Yep, you are correct. I was just throwing the peritubular capillary in there and not paying attention to which way I was drawing it. But, you are correct that the flow blood through the peritubular capillaries runs in the opposite direction to the flow of filtrate through the tubules. Thanks for pointing this out, dj

[lcwerner1]

@hennagerdj My current textbook "Human Anatomy & Physiology" by Marieb and Hoehn states on pg979 that "the term 'countercurrent' is commonly misunderstood to mean that the direction of fluid flow in the loops of Henle is opposite that of the blood in the vasa recta." Rather, they explain that it refers to the "flow of fluid in opposite direcions through adjacent segments of the same tube connected by a hairpin turn" as observed in the Loop of Henle.

Other thoughts? Thanks!

[lainemichelleallen]

@sammyweka1 I find that irrelevant as I find this video helpful for more understanding the GFR rather than an overall physiological understanding of the nephron. this vid is awesome... I keep coming back to it. He's not put in a lot in this.... but the focus in GFR...

thank u so much.. it help me alot.. godbless

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU!!!!!!!

i don`t know why medical books make these topics soo boring.. u just rocked it.. its soo easy ..wohooo !!!

This is really helpful! thanx =)

[SETekniko]

Thank you so much!!! My text books are put to shame compared to this.

[DaniellaJoan]

Thanks so much for posting! Great drawings and explanation!

[tmena27]

wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL! My anatomy final is tomorrow and you just explained the most difficult concept to me in under 10minutes! Thank you :)

P.S. More videos! yay!

[asma94804]

Thank you!!!!!! U should come teach at CAL, because you are definetly way better at explaining than my physio professor here.

[gwenbriones]

Omg....i have never gotten the actual kidney function until now!!!!!!!!!!! Ure way waaaayyyyyyyyyy better than all my teachers combined!!!!! Thank you sooo much!!! You actually inspired me to stay in school!!!

[CALISWEK]

GREAT!

[donatohoward]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is my exact learning style and have yet to come across it in a classroom setting. Glomerular Filtration makes so much sense now!

[cherryrs320]

Thank you. Truly helpful.

[MISTYBn0]

I have to say this, but the glomerular filtrate is free from protien and any molecules that are carried by protiens such as amino acids, ca+ and fatty acids.

[faisal779]

it was confusing all the time but not any more

thanks keep on the good work

[desibabe14]

your a really good teacher!!! and very good at free-hand drawing plus.. loving the metaphors! hope you do more ! =D

[Mahal2006]

Thank you. I love you

[virtualetude]

thank u very much very helpful

[nazishtk16]

shutup!! i can't draw!!!!! my drawing looks like i've drawn with my feet

[amyvaverka]

you are the best of the best!!! thank you!!

[shouldbewritingpaper]

wow! you are contributing so much to students all over the world by sharing these videos. God bless you.

[cmcronin]

I absolutely love this video. Your metaphors are exactly what I needed to help me remember the GFR process. Thank you!

[mercy1316]

I have to agree with all these other posters...you have done an amazing job explaining this process. I have gone through my textbook over and over and couldn't grasp the process until i saw your video. The drawings helped a ton while you are explaining it. Thank you so much! Now will you hold my hand through the rest of my pathophysiology class? :)

[elbuencloud]

Dude, you're such a good teacher, you explain it so simple but without leaving details behind, keep up the good work... you rock!

[ListTube]

Excellent work, hennagerdj! I look forward to further video instruction as well.

Normally, I think people misuse the pop-ups in mostly an irritating manner. However, the pop-ups are actually enhancing your instruction and allowing me to absorb information with more clarity and by touching more senses.

Thank you for posting this. Keep it up, please. :)

[tightKnit]

I totally agree. His use of the captions was extremely helpful. I have a much better comprehension of kidney filtration now!

[yeekrek]

THANK YOU FOR THIS.

[outoforbit06]

Can you be my professor please?!

[sboliva]

this video will definetely help me when i take my test. Thanks a lot. :-0

[manhattanGirl2]

Thank you...you are my favorite teacher!!! Have read my physiology text and looked at almost all clips on youtube; and this one by far explained it thoroughly and the teacher was amazing. Please do more!

[trniquet]

This is good, keep it up Dj! Your extra effort really helps.

[gajen2]

DJ-

This is awesome! It is just like being in class with you and helped me study for the daunting urinary test tremendously. I don't think I would have done as well as I did on that exam without having had access to the videos to reiterate the GFR process. Thank you so much!

[SanDiegoRN2B]

Awesome! This has really helped me with my physio class. I wish you were my teacher. You have a great way of explaining this!

[kiminator76]

Even though I give you crap in class, I hope you know that I think you are a phenominal teacher and really appreciate all the extra effort (such as these YouTube's) that you put into teaching. This really aids my learning style.

[rgoerge]

Very interesting discussion, I actually listen and pay attention. Wish your my clinical instructor :)

[LeskaD]

thank you!
