    How do ventilators work? - Alex Gendler

    Take a journey into the respiratory system to see how ventilators bypass constricted airways and help damaged lungs send oxygen to the body. --In the 16th century, physician Andreas Vesalius described how a suffocating animal could be kept alive by inserting a tube into its trachea and blowing air to inflate its lungs. Today, Vesalius’s treatise is recognized as the first description of mechanical ventilation— a crucial practice in modern medicine. So how do our modern ventilators work? Alex Gendler explains the life-saving technology.Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by Artrake Studio.Animator's website: https://www.artrake.comSign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-ventilators-work-alex-gendlerThank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    The “myth” of the boiling frog

    Explore how greenhouse gas emissions impact global warming and why it’s necessary to get emissions down to net zero. --Since 1850, global average temperatures have risen by 1 degree Celsius. That may not sound like a lot, but it is. Why? 1 degree is an average. Many places have already gotten much warmer and if average temperatures increase one more degree, the coldest nights in the Arctic might get 10 degrees warmer. So how did we get here? And what can be done? Explore the challenges of net zero emissions.Directed by Lisa LaBracio.
