Health & Medical Tutorials

Advanced Hematologic System Physiology
It takes 30 to 60 seconds for your blood to travel from your heart to your body and back again. Hemoglobin, the protein in our blood cells, can bind oxygen and carbon dioxide. Blood is about 45% cells and 55% plasma, so the adage “blood is thicker than water” holds true in scientific terms! Learn more about how this system works in these videos.
Health Care System
The health care system in the United States is rapidly changing. To better understand these changes, we review the health care insurance, drug pricing, physician compensation, and much more! Join us as we explore the basics about the health care system in the US, including a comparison with European healthcare.
Infectious Diseases
From the flu to HIV, we’ll explore the underlying mechanisms that these creepy crawlies use to reproduce and spread.
Lab Values and Concentrations
Ever wonder about your lab values and what they mean? Lab values measure amounts of electrolytes, metabolites, proteins or cells in your blood and occasionally tell you about how hormones and enzymes are working. Dive deeper and expand your understanding of concentration units used in common medical lab values as well.
Organic Chemistry
Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them.
