  • Thank you for your amazing videos.

  • @adityadevil0007 You're welcome. Please stay tuned for more Biology video uploads :)

  • fuck a text book whats the point of going to lectures when i cant fully understand whats going on you are the man keep doing what your doing

  • thank you!!! very helpful video. Is it correct to say then that the sodium pump is always working away in the backgound or just when there is an action potential?

  • thanks so much for these videos, these helped so much!

  • i love your videos! u are a savior for making bio simple and easy to understand!!

  • You are awesome! Thanks!!!

  • @Jab1113 textbooks are for visual learners...

  • You are my A&P hero :)

  • thank you , for helping me to understand the stages better.

    Q; the inside of the cell aslo contains proteins and negatively charged ions( does that have something to do with action potential?) My teacher wrote this on our notes but did not futher explain

    .

  • Great stuff, I really enjoy.

    Why is this last stage called hyper(polarization; a continued decrease in the membrane's potential), when hyperthermia is an increase in one's body temperature. It would seem that it should be called hypopolarization, similar to hypothermia (decrease in ones body temp - decrease in the membranes potential). Does it have to deal with the fact that the membrane's potential is calculated in respect to the extracellular fluid? Thanks!

  • Very thorough, very clear, good Job!

  • Hey do you happen to know how the A-current is bought about and how it can be influences to change the rate of spike firing... thank you

    P.s revision tends to make me dislike neuro but you've reminded me of how much i love it .. so thank you :)
