Anatomy & Physiology On The Go

Clear, easy to understand episodes. Perfect for review before my exams.

In this lesson, I learned how the process of translation build the reading, MRA codons and using tRNA to bring the correct amino acids starting with the AUG codon for methionine and continuing until a stop codon. I also learned that once polypeptide chain is made it’s not automatically ready to go. It still has to be processed and shaped into a working protein that can either stay in the cell or travel to other parts of the body. This lesson made me realize that even though the process form DNA to protein is very organized mistakes can still happen.

This podcast is amazing! so much information on the amazing things that happen within our body and out! my personal favorite would be “Episode 12: Mitosis,” I learned a great way of memorizing the phases “I Prefer Milk And Tea,” and the classical music was the cherry on top. - A.B.

I love these small digestible episodes of A&P concepts. Gilda is witty and engaging, and the shorter episodes make it easy to pop on when I am in the car. I learned that a HYPOtonic solution means the SOLUDES are less concentrated than the cell- not the water molecules. “Hypo” meaning less and “hyper” meaning more. When talking about osmosis, the water travels from a high concentration to low concentration- but meaning the concentration of WATER molecules, not solute molecules. Hypotonic solutions have LESS soludes so MORE water and the solution wants to travel INTO the cell. Whew! Thank you, Professor Harris!
