      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!

    God, this is so much easier than listening to a robot voice explain this. You make studying for my exams way more fun, dude.

    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.

    First of all, thank you so much. Second of all, for those who think he is talking too fast, you can go to your viewing settings and lower the speed- not only is it slower, but it's slightly hilarious.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

  • @Snagrit

    After the first 4 videos of Crash course Biology I had a new hobby which led to me enrolling in an introductory Biology course as an elective to my degree. 6 Months on, and I am now studying a double degree (Arts/Science) With majors In history, Biology and Psychology. In high-school I hated science, but I can honestly say thanks to you a passion has been ignited inside of me and I know look forward to many years of studying this fantastic subject that YOU introduced me too. Thanks.

    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!

      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.

    Hank, I know you don't get the chance to read all these comments but I hope you do read this so you know how influential you have been to me. I started my first year of University at the start of this year, majoring in History and Politics planning on becoming a teacher (as I have a passion for education).

    Made so much more sense than the 4 times my instructor went over it in class. Thank you!

    These videos are the sole reason I'll pass physiology... Thank you!
