I'm here as a Chemical Engineer and I never thought of how laminar or turbulent flow works in the body. This was so interesting! Thank you.

[@osmosis]

You're very welcome! 🙌🏼

@@osmosis Just a suggestion, it might not make sense if you only have the two I just saw but have you considered making a sort of "medical physics" playlist? Again I don't know how many of these you have done but at least this one and the Resistance to blood flow video would be right at home there!

[@waelfadlallah8939]

I absolutely love when pure physical concepts comes into play with how our own physiology works. I request more of these videos as they are highly intresting to watch!
