Thank you so much for your videos! I’m an RN but reviewing some concepts that I may not have reviewed in the last few years, and I really appreciate that you explain the “Why.” I have trouble remembering things just for the sake of remembering them, if I don’t understand why it’s important to remember that concept in the first place! I’ve watched videos on a few channels but yours was the first to explain a little more in-depth about WHY things are the way they are.
You got me thru second year A&P. And third year advanced pys. Few months away from finishing my degree. Ty Dr Mike.

Awesome! Wishing you all the best :)
This really has blown my mind
I'm a mobile software engineer, but love watching science videos. I've just finished a year of physics, now onto biology and I have chosen you both to take me on my journey. Such outstanding videos, how could I not??

Now tell me ,the bonding of potassium and try to explain it, thank you
I'm an instructor and teach some basic A&P in our school's courses. I like sharing Dr. Mike's video's when my students need more ways to help explain things. =) The fact that you are animated and I can see your passion for what you teach, matches how my preferences also.
This was the most exciting thing I learned in Biochemistry while in Undergrad
I am doing my PhD in literature, BUT here is where I like to spend whatever free time I have- fascinated by this marvelous thing we call the human body; and this handsome and passionate teacher makes it even more FUN!
Thanks sir! You are an angel for students like me who has to attend college but gets not much benefit! You are a lifesaver for my medschool thanks a lot. We anticipate more and more videos of yours. In future! Please stay healthy
Thanks so much for this Share, I was struggling with horrible heart palps, after 15 months of suffering. I finally was guided to potassium. Started on a good electrolyte about a week ago and im already seeing results. Thank God
Thank you Dr. Mike- you really have the art for teaching!! Wish more instructors were able to teach like you!!!
Thank you Dr. Mike for explaining the Sodium-Potassium Channel Pump efficiently and effectively. I never completely understand how the Pump works, but thanks to you, I do now.❤
the drug examples really solidify the examples. Brilliant!
I've watched all your videos dozens of times over and over to learn the fundamentals. I appreciate how the newer videos really bring concepts together and dive deeper into the physiology and practical application. Thank you a million times!
YOU ARE AMAZING!! This is what we need in schools...the connecting of physiology and its uses in health care.
this video made me understand this concept so much more now!
Thank you for this great overview of the ATPase pump, functions associated with it , and medications used to manipulate this mechanism. This was a super helpful explanation to me, as a nursing student.
Dr Mike and Dr Matt superheroes you guys are! I’m a registered nurse in the UK, you two simply makes life so interesting and by assimilating your contents the health sector could be a promising one for the service users. I would love to work with you guys one day!
Thank you for being Dr. Mike, it is a real pleasure for me to watch your videos. Wow !!! I can perfectly understand your teaching, so, so useful to me !!!
You're honestly a Legend Dr mike
Thanks for this! I'm not a bio/med guy, but you've made this spectacularly interesting to someone "just curious".
Thank you. I'm an RN that's been out of practice for 5 years and I just got back .I needed this.
Thanks, learnt this stuff 25 years ago, forgotten most of it! Great info, clearly and engagingly explained.👍👍👍
I just love the garage-cleaning comparison. Those also (but not only those) make these lessons memorable. Thanks so much!
Always a blessing to have you🥰
Love your videos, they are broken down so well that it is very easy to understand. Very helpful - keep em coming!!!
I am speechless! Thank you for sharing. It is apparent that you love what you do as it shows in your work product
Absolute Genius Dr Mike. I’m studying 2 be an advanced nursing practitioner & literally all your videos (including this amazing one) make the jargon in books & articles actually understandable & relevant. Absolutely amazing Thank You
This video had all of the extra details I was looking for and more! Excellent video!
Gosh this is such a good and comprehensive video! Thank you, doc!
Thank you so much, this safed me hours of hours searching for a complete explanation in diverse books. Great Great Great.! Please keep on going
Hello Dr. Mike, I'm a huge fan❤ Your videos help me learn concepts in short time and concise manner👌 I saw today you've uploaded a podcast on Electrolytes Physiology, if this video is a part of that podcast then amazing, if not Sir please upload an entire video of Electrolytes Physiology, would be really helpful🙏 Thank you for all these incredible videos🙏❤👍
Enjoyed pump explanation. You are a great educator. Thanks!
This is 100% helpful. Please keep posting up with more 🙏🏿
Love your videos guys!!! They're so easy to understand even for noobs like me. They've helped me a lot in my canine nutrition studies
After long time... Thank you
Just brilliant Mike- as always!
Finally understand the Sodium potassium pump. Thanks so much for this video and for including the different drugs and their affect.
I love the slide analogy. Pedagogical genius.
Thanks a lot for this video. My father suffered a shortage of potassium and fainted. He almost died. Since then I have been doing bits of research of potassium here and there and that's how I found this video. Wonderful clear infomation. Respect from China, with a well deserved subscription.
I love the way you package the material
So much helpful.... I salute you Dr. Mike
Thank you so much! I have an exam coming up and your videos has been extremely helpful to understand!!!
Annyeong haseyo Dr. Mike! I'm a fan of yours. Thank you for you non stop KZread lectures. It helped me a lot with my nursing school.
This one is the best educational video on this subject I have watched. Thanks.
Thanks mate. This is next-level for me. Really interesting subjects, clearly and concisely explained and a very engaging presentation.
You are awesome! Soooo gifted in explaining!!
Thank you very much for being such an energetic lecturer. Your lecture must be meant a lot for not only me, but other nursing and med students out there struggling to grab medical concepts. I've watched quite a lot of videos but have to stop and reside here with Dr.Mike! I'm really appreciated.

I LOVE YOU DR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE ❤
Thanks, Dr. Mike!
Thanks for great presentation.
I wish you could do a video on EPA DHA and also GLA! showing their mechanism of action in the body.
Excellent, thanks. I'm really enjoying your style 🙏🙋♀️
I found your videos towards the end of my second year in Massage Therapy. And yes, we need to learn the cellular level to all of the physiology of the body. I wish I had found your videos sooner, Dr. Mike you are an outstanding teacher and I thank you SO SO much for your videos and amazing explanations. Also, who needs forearm and hand intrinsics workouts when you can hold SIX markers in one hand :-D LOL So very thankful Cheers from Canada
Best of the best!
Thank you..great information
Thank u so much........Dr ..this video is so helpful......
Well I'm just an old person who wants to understand how I work. Thank you. I'd like to understand better how the Na K atpase pump relates to the NaCa pump. And I thank you for your clear explanations.
This is the only explanation of this topic that I understand.
Thank you Dr really learn a lot from you. May god bless you and you make more videos always. Thank you again.
Exlent explaining sir

Hello .I really enjoyed your lecture .I have a question why do sodium level needs to be high between 145 to 150 after brain surgery . ? Thanks
Nice job
Great video. Which other areas in the body with the diuretic block the channels, or are they specific to kidney?
Very Nice Explanation. Please Increase your Mic Gain or Volume. Plz!
best teacher👌👌👌👌
wow that digoxin part was smooth :)
@12:39 this had tied a lot together for me. thanky
I'm an arrangment of cells learning about cells. So mesmerising.
I'm huge fan..❤
Thank you sir
Best Dr
Thank you sir..
I'm studying the effects of magnesium on muscle relaxation and hydration. My understanding is that magnesium is a co-factor for enzyme action at the cell wall, facilitating or rather regulating the sodium-potassium pump. I can see magnesium's role in ATP production, used in the sodium-potassium pump, but can't find any other mention of magnesium action or regulation of the sodium-potassium pump. How does it work? As a massage therapist, I have first hand experience with people who are presumably deficient in magnesium, with muscles that palpate similar to bone. I have also seen the dramatic effect that recommended daily intake of magnesium (420mg for men, 320mg for women - elemental) can have, with a change in muscle tone to something mushy and jelly like within a relatively short period of time. I have seen some suggestion that magnesium assists with the sodium-potassium pump to shift water into the cell as K+ is pumped inside, but again, I haven't heard any formal description of this. Can you please describe how magnesium assists with hydration at a molecular level?
Thanks!
Tack!
Thank you
Just took on a chart move that brings the closer and near as the conversation went thanks for some new views
Hi Dr. Matt & Dr. Mike Is it possible for you to make a video about Gitelman's syndrome ? Thank for this video - I will see it some times to understand this Potassium/sodium connection. I have had this deficiency for some years now and since last year it have going the wrong way. I take 16 x 750mg potassium and 28 grams of sodium/himalaya salt a day - it's a lot, I hope in the future to get it through a port. 🙏
Sodium potassium channel finally explained.
So cool
Hello Doctors. I found your videos because I’m trying to figure out what happened to me. The short: I almost died of the Rona. I think the root mechanism of how the virus was killing people has something to do with the spike protein disrupting this ATP pump. I think the disruption causes dehydration and the dehydration causes low oxygen but at the cellular level. I only think this because that was my experience and I am trying to see if there is any scientific validation. Is the ATP pump connected to dehydration? What is the cause/effect connection? Could a virus disrupt this pump? Could cellular dehydration be connected to low oxygen?
So the cells need constant feed from the outside when it becomes to sodium and potassium?
Does lithium carbonate fall into this family being an alkali metal as well? trying to studying lithium as i take it daily?
