    I've literally watched like 7 videos on UA-cam explaining the same exact thing. Yours is the ONLY one that really breaks it down so that even a child can understand. THANK YOU

    By far the best explanation on action potentials!

    Thank you for such a great video! The Q&A portion at the end is so helpful for both making sure I truly understand it, and for coming back as a review to make sure I STILL understand and know it. Also, thank you for fixing the subtitles, it really helps the hearing impaired and deaf med students in the world!
    Quiz starts at 16:44

    I am a student at another University. No matter how many lectures I sat through or how many videos my professor posted, I was struggling with this. This video helped me understand it a lot better. Thank you for making this video, I appreciate it. Hopefully now I can pass my exam in 2 days. You have saved me!

    You are helping me so much! I've been feeling so stupid in a class full of smart kids and now I just realize I needed it explained in a clearer way. I wish very Professor spoke in such clear cut terms as you. Thank you and you can tell by the comments you are literally helping people from all around the world. You should get an award. You make the student world a better place.

    I MUST say I completely agree with the previous comment. Thank you for explaining this so thoroughly and in such a simple manner that even a child can understand it. I have also watched several other u tube videos and they all talk really fast and are so detailed that I get lost in the process. I appreciate you talking slowly so that my brain can grasp and comprehend the process and also for reviewing over the whole process again to instill the process firmly in my mind.

  • @hayalgm1135

    Thank you so much! I'm so lucky to have found this video. Your explanation was fantastic. I also enjoyed the questioning at the end & reviewing. Explanation was so well done I was able to reproduce the graph & diagram and talk myself through the action potential process. Just have to repeat it a few times to get it into longer term memory! Thanks again!
