    There are many factors in studying human anatomy. One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Sebs Study Crammer (google it if you’re interested) definately the no.1 info that I’ve heard of. look at this great website.

    There are many factors in learning human anatomy. One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Sebs Study Crammer (google it if you’re interested) without a doubt the no.1 info that I’ve seen. look at this great website.

  18. No One on September 5, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    Why do I feel that some how MEDICAL students don’t get as much credit as NURSING students, but med students do the most work and have a far harder job 🤷🏽‍♀️LIKE DOCTORS DO MORE THAN NURSES AND LEARN ALOT LONGER AND DESERVE THE HYPE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO BECOME A DOCTOR OR JUST ARENT SMART ENOUGH TO 🤷🏽‍♀️😳 I said what I said!



  19. Anne Ntwiga on September 5, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    At first glance studying human anatomy may appear very difficult. It is tru?e that it is complex and your studies wont change that. As for it being overwhelming, that can be eleviated if you take your study one step at a time. I found an article on Sebs Study Crammer extremely helpful for this.



  20. SilC on September 5, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    I’ve watched this many time. Thank you for making this video! Awesome!

  23. Adora Kenway on September 5, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    I’m not a student atm, just interested and and have ambitions for becoming a doctor ☺️



  24. Homer on September 5, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    When I started the video I noticed it was totally silent. I was at first panicked but rationalized the experience as a, soon to be revealed, joke, meant to imply and introduce the subject of body language. After an embarrassing 30 seconds I looked down and noticed my headphones were unplugged. The worst part is that the subtitles were on.



  25. Dineth Demuni on September 5, 2021 at 11:48 pm

    Yo this guy is the best, cuz im bout to take physioligy next yr



  26. Sierra Missouria on September 5, 2021 at 11:49 pm

  29. Hossain Ellas on September 5, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    At first glance the study of human anatomy seems to bo complex and overwhelming. It’s true that it’s complex and your studies wont change that. As for being overwhelming, this can be solved if you take it one step at a time. I found an article on Sebs Study Crammer extremely useful for this.
