You have such a relaxing voice :)

@fromag12 Ha ha, thanks! Hopefully not TOO relaxing--I don't want to put people to sleep!

Lol love how Americans say Caaaapillaarrries rather than our British Capilliaries!

Anyway thanks a lot for making these videos, it's a niche audience of medical students but very useful! You may wish to consider using a whiteboard - just a thought!

@usman606060 Lol! But in my mind, I say, capillaries, whereas British say, caPILLaries! Thanks for the whiteboard tip; I don't currently own one, but if/when I do, I promise to use it--I know sometimes that font is difficult to read!

Thanks for this. I like your explanations!

[RespiratoryStudent1]

@pixeloflight You're welcome!

Omg haha I could not understand what you were saying when you said alveoli and capillaries... then I realised, suppose being english isn't always a good thing :L

Good video though, thank you for taking the time to do this to support many failings candidates revising for january exams! :D

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. I now finally understand this and have got my Biology exam on Friday! Really helpful, thanks a lot for this!
