I was able to learn about all the muscles and bones and everything else through pure reinforcement and practicing with my classmates- our books did not even have much color but we used our imagination and used the cadavers and ourselves to keep ahead of the curve. Med school was fun because we chose to be excited about what we learned and not pressured because of grades!
we are attempting to cover the topics that would be taught in a year long AP level Biology class, equivalent to a 101 level in a college or university. so it will be more complex than general high school biology.

Thanks. The animations for Biology are actually created entirely by our Creative Director, Amber Bushnell, with the help of a consulting biologist, Brandon Jackson. Thought Bubble does the animations for World History exclusively.
Always astounded at how Hank and the team make science, especially complex anatomical functions, so accessible, when so many mind numbing videos on the internet bang on for hours with complex 'shit' for want of a better word. Of course science isn't 'easy', there'd be no fun if it were no challenge, but these people give you all the jargon and all the action without all the boredom. Great show.

He forgot to mention that muscles are antagonistics. Therefore, if one contracts the other one relaxed. So ATP IS REQUIRED ALWAYS

Wait, our muscle filaments need ATP in order to relax? WHOOoooaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's why dead bodies are stiff cool

I have been struggling to understand this for over a week, and you managed to explain it clearly in 12 minutes. Well done. Very well done.
I really want to thank you for these videos. Without you I would be lost in my anatomy class. You're the reason I'm getting an A in my class. Not only do you clarify everything for me but you make learning FUN and enjoyable. PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS!!!

this video saved my life!!! trying to understand the myosin and actin filaments from my text book made me want to cry and jump off a bridge in tandem!!! Now I totes get it thanks to the schnazzy sliding filament model! Thank you snarky smart guy... you are my hero!
gotta love you guys, thank you for putting all this content together into an amazingly understandable way.
It's amazing how all the little parts (both visible and microscopic) inside of you are a big deal on helping you function and live against things outside the body or to adapt the body to the environment.
This channel is an absolute life save. I've an ISA on muscles tomorrow and I've been trying to get my head around the topic for days with no luck. I rewatched this a few times and then made notes as I went along, and finally its making sense! All is not lost! so THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!
I am SO grateful for this and for other crash course bio videos!
So you managed to explain basic sliding filament theory in the space of 12 minutes from the beginning, while being absolutely engaging and funny at the same time? Better than any lecturer with any amount of experience that I've seen...
You have no idea how appreciative I am of this channel. It's helped me go through A&P, Microbio, Bio l and now finally...bio ll 😂 you guys are a godsend
Thank you SOO much for doing these videos! You've made learning this information so much better. Keep up the hard work.
Who else studying for their bio exam
Great video! Easy to understand! I need more of these videos to get me through A&P!
Great work! I really love how much help these videos can be.
Thank you so much for this awesome episode!!! And the result that I got was also fantastic! The first time I got 100% in my Biology assessment!!! Thanks again for crash course!!! Keep on doing it!!!
Moral of the video, if you want a genius son then just name him Huxley :D
Hank, you da real MVP!
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so much help! I like the way you compare processes of the body with other scenarios.
I feel that all Anatomy Courses should have tons of videos like this, but also focused at helping students pass practicals, and exams. Find professors who put their lectures into video presentations. That will help a ton.
This was so helpful! What would I do without Crash Course?
Here for my anatomy test. Thank God for CrashCourse cuz I didn't understand shit from that lecture >.
Crash Course is so helpful and entertaining! It provides such a great framework for learning and review. Hank, you're brilliant and hilarious. Thank you.
Thank you Hank! :) you're the best, the visuals really help me a lot!
Learned more here than in my class - plus the guy was really cute.
Hank! your ass grab...spot on!
Brilliant Hank! You've once again made the subject less complex and prevented me from tearing my hair out!
your videos are so amazing. they help me understand all the major concepts I need in A&P to pass exams. plus, you're pretty hilarious. THANK YOU!
Hank and his hot pockets....

Hank, as usual, a really great tutorial. Simple, FUNNY and really interesting. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Anatomy was confusing me so much a few minutes ago, and this is definitely helping me to better understand the material.

Why don't you show this video to your teacher, he might learn how to teach better, and thus be a better teacher and that means you will like him more and therefore you will learn more and enjoy to classes more. Don't however tell him he sux as a teacher as that will assuredly get you bad grades!.
I think I love him 😂 he’s so funny and also saving my life this semester
I learnt about this when I was doing a course to become a fitness instructor. I remember taking several lessons to learn less about the process than you taught in under 15 minutes. Thankyou
I UNDERSTAND MUSCLES NOW
i have a serious crush on Hank, like can i marry you??!? haha
I just wanna get rid of school and I can’t thank you enough for helping me getting rid of my worst nightmare.
My IB biology teacher used this video in class. So much more helpful than all those stuffy old videos from the late 90s with boring voice overs on lame animations. I actually learned a lot. Thank you so much for making these.
Where did Hank find that stunt double to work out for him?

ATP broken down is ADP and a phosphate
@crow4834

When the third phosphate is removed from ATP, you get ADP. The molecule has much less chemical energy, because the high energy bond between the last 2 phosphates has been broken.

Who is watching this during corona crisis?
I've had 2 lectures on this so far and I've understood more with this video than I did in those lectures. But in all fairness, the lectures didn't have pause and rewind features and this video doesn't require me to get up early and have minimal breakfast to attend!
I'm really glad you videotape these. It makes it possible for me to repeat parts of your lecture I miss because I find myself concentrating on moving my muscles and thinking about what happens under the skin cover.
It is so impressive how much you covered in 12 minutes, and how well you covered it! It took me at least of week of lectures to understand that before.. You even managed to cover rigor mortis! Nice!
Amazing videos guys. Watched a lot of them now and they are all very good at getting the info across. Studying to be a personal trainer and doing hnd level fitness. Again, great videos :)
Great series of videos! Thanks.
this is so helpful. the animation makes it very clear. thank you crash course
I never learned physiology in the class from proffessor who used to to teach us... it's u man who helped me master it....
he makes it so easy to understand-I thank you for that
Subscribed! I just want to say wow. I'm working on my Personal Training Certification With The American Council on Exercise and all though I understood all of this before watching I want to say thanks for making it so simple for simpler minds like my own lol. You guys rock and I look forward to watching more!
hank is honestly the best!!!!
ohhh goshhhh....i m luving it.....ur way of explanation is justt awsome......thnx hank!!!
amazing, love CrashCourse, make my medicine simple...Thanks Doc
Just so very well explained and entertaining. Thanks guys!
Made so much more sense than the 4 times my instructor went over it in class. Thank you!
Thank you!!!! so much, You are such a life saver. Best video I have seen entertaining and very easy to understand. Love it
Much respect, thank you for your easy to understand answer.
Thank you :D the animations really help
Have my biology A level exam tomorrow and despite going over my muscle notes again and again nothing had gone in. Finally understand contraction and anatomy of muscles. Thank you!
So helpful. Thank you for doing these videos.
Amazing presentation amigo. The illustrations are very helpful as well. Keep up the awesome work.
