    Just came back from a very bad day at school and then went on youtube. Saw this in my sub box. Ironically and funnily enough, I learnt more here than I did in 6 hours of school. Thanks TEDEd, you're way better teachers than the ones at THAT place. Haha.

    I never know that the oxygen supply can affect our health. So it's not just food, exercise, lifestyle, and vitamins that will maintain our health, oxygen as well! Thank you!
    The topic looks simple and common yet important and illuminating.

    I do pay attention, more than anyone else anyway. It's just that in school teachers often purely rely on verbal communication that often cannot be listened to again out of the fear that the teacher will punish you for 'not listening', but with a video with an animation, it's much easier for everybody, you can rewind if you didn't get some bits, and the information is practically spoonfed to you, which is good. Humans only have a 20 minute attention span, whilst a school period takes about 50. :)

  • @scottseptember1992
    @scottseptember1992 12 років тому

    There was no mention of how breathing in (inspiring) occurs because the body's pH increased due to a previous expiration of CO2. After breathing in O2, CO2 concentration increases in the blood (because O2 = final e- acceptor in ETC and CO2 = byproduct) and reacts with H2O to make carbonic acid/H2CO3, etc, thus decreasing the pH, which will cause the medulla oblongata in the brain stem to send excitatory signals to the diaphragm to go from a lowered arc to resting level in order to expire.

    We breathe argon in (1% of the atmosphere) and we breathe the same amount out. Therefore, It most likely does not enter the blood stream since there is a steady exchange of the inert gas.

    I totally understand what you mean bro. We (society) are using methods of the old world to maintain this new more fast paste world. Its like they worked for their time but now that we have better ways of learning and teaching we shouldn't be fighting to maintain the old (proven to be faulty) methods of yester-century.
    check out this TED talk and good luck in this changing world. PEACE-

    UA-camrs can choose their own topics, don't have to stick to a curriculum, can take as much time as they want to prepare for a video, any mistakes they make can be corrected so that only the perfect version gets put online, they don't have to deal with disinterested kids and with keeping them silent, and there's no chance of getting fired if they fuck something up. Give your teachers a break.

    Actually.....yes. If someone is an angry person in general (as in they're rarely happy and may be depressed), their immune system will be weaker than someone who is generally in a good mood most of the time. Having a weaker immune system can lead to a higher vulnerability to cancerous cells growing within the body (cancerous cells are present in everyone's body, its the job of the immune system to keep them inactive).

    pressure to move oxygen and nutrients into the blood? first of we don't get any nutrients through inspiration ( unless I am very much mistaken) and the oxygen moves through diffusion, a process that needs no energy. yes pressure is used to get air into the lungxs, but it doesn't get the oxygen into the blood as is suggested here in the video.'More breath equals more oxygen and more nutrients for our cells' 2:54 We do not breathe in protein, we do not breath in vitamins, but this video would suggest that we do.breathing this way is hard as it requires the movement of our diaphragm and intercostal muscles- 4:20. ALL breathing requires the use of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles ( again, unless I have been gravely mislead by all biology textbooks)breathing well helps improve you're immune system? pleas someone explain.all in all, I found this video is actually very misleading.

    Well, you did say "Thanks TEDEd, you're way better teachers than the ones at THAT place.", so there was some blame on the teachers. I can very much understand your frustration with the school system, though. I can also agree that there are indeed some mediocre or horrible teachers. What I can say is, if you want knowledge, you'll get it no matter what.

  • @astroking3043
    @astroking3043 2 місяці тому +1

    Wrong oxygen does not go into the blood, from the lungs most of the time, how it works is the oxygen creates an electric charge which electrical charges up the oxygen already in the blood. That's how it works so quickly, all the blood gets activated in one go, imagine that.

    Well, these days they make kids have to learn certain things so that everyone is on the same page as every other adult in this world. However, during the last few years of school, the subjects getting taught only tend to stay with kids who would learn it well (Who here knows what a Parabola is?).
    I go to a technological school. We have subjects like automotive tech or graphical design, classes being taught by people fluent in these fields for half the school day for the last 2 years of school.

    Could you imagine how disappointed scientists all over the world would be if it turned out that controlled breathing is what caused us to evolve self-awareness? I mean the evolutionary advantages of controlled breathing have been stated in this video and you need to be aware of your breathing in order to control it, so it's not as outlandish a hypothesis as you might think.

    • @ScornMuffins
      @ScornMuffins 10 років тому +1

      ***** Well the first step towards self-awareness would have to be something that we could do without being self-aware, but where self awareness would help. Controlling our breath requires a very basic level of self-awareness in that you need to know what your breathing is currently like in order to change it. This would have an advantage in hunting, for example holding your breath while stalking and making your breath slower and deeper when chasing prey over long distances. It would be the first step and a very primitive form of self-awareness, but everything has to start somewhere. It's also noteworthy that other animals that control their breath are the smarter species of monkeys and primates, smarter breeds of dogs, dolphins and elephants. All of these are animals that are considered to be self aware and as far as we know no purely instinctual animal can control its breath.

    • @ScornMuffins
      @ScornMuffins 10 років тому

      ***** Most people like to think that there's something particularly special when it comes to human evolution, which is perfectly reasonable, even if it's not true. It'd be a nice eye opener if that fact came to light and there'd be people everywhere asking "Well... Is that it?"

    • @ScornMuffins
      @ScornMuffins 10 років тому +1

      ***** Yup, and when humans were separated into their own genus instead of being included with primates, and of course there's a certain other incident that a lot of people believed in, still do believe in that I won't care to mention here.

    So wouldn't you say that the interest of a child really comes from their parents? Sure teachers can do a lot to further curiosity in students, but your parents have to breed an environment where kids want to learn. Also in my opinion many parents don't know what their doing with their kids.

Besides, I wasn't talking about this whole year of school, I was only talking about that particular day, I did listen, I did work and I did do my best. But the situation I'm in is concerning the bullies and annoying kids. I've been bullied countless times over and over. And when I come to class 40% of the time the teachers say what I already know, in the other percentage they just give us written work.
