We have a free resource that complements this video! Look under "Nervous System" on the alphabetized list near the bottom of our handout page www.amoebasisters.com/handouts
-
Just so you know, practically everyone in my science class loves your videos. Please never stop because I want to see more videos in class
-
You guys are probably 90% of the reason why i passed my biology/science final thank you amoebas so much
-
This is insanely good timing. Thank you so much Amoeba sisters!
-
your channel single handedly got me through my first general biology course in college. not just getting me through but passing with an almost perfect final score! tysm Amoeba Sisters!
-
Looking back, these guys were the reason I majored in bio in university. Now I have a Master's degree. Thanks Amoebas!!!
-
I can't say enough how much your videos have helped in my A&P and microbiology courses! Anytime I have trouble understanding something, I look for an Amoeba Sisters video first! The information is well laid out, the animations are funny and help me connect things (I'm a big visual learner), and you don't present the information like we're doctoral biology grad student, but you also don't dumb it down. Great job!!
-
The nervous system is kind of difficult to grasp, but it’s interesting and amazing and the way you present it makes it understandable. Kudos!
-
as someone studying nursing, these videos have saved me
-
Thank you, Amoeba sisters! Even though your videos are simple, they still give sooo much useful information that is much needed for science :) Keep up the great work!!
-
Omg yes! This was so helpful. And yes I agree a video explaining membrane potentials in the future would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for making such amazing videos!
-
A couple days ago I searched youtube videos to find information about the nervous system, and this is exacly what i need! It also perfect timing! I am gratefull that you two make such star sparkle awsome content!! Thank you, Amoeba sisters. You make studying biology more fun :D
-
Yay finally a new video
-
Wow. This makes me feel like I CAN and WANT to learn. THANK YOU. I NEEDED THIS.
-
Honestly, my uni lecturers should just use these videos instead. Felt like I understood nothing from my 2 hour lecture on the nervous system, whereas I understood more from this 12 minute clip. Thank you!!
-
I actually can’t believe you guys posted these right before I’m about to take my TEAS test haha, I’m 21 and I still use your channel for school!
-
thank you so much I have a test tomorrow on the nervous system, endocrine system and homeostasis and I needed to study since we have been having relief teachers for the the past few weeks and have barely learnt anything but this was a massive help ❤
-
Yaay! We just started to study this in our biology classes. 😂 I always got confused between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Your trick is gonna help me A LOOTT! Thanks a lot! 😇
-
My teacher puts videos of you guys in class and I always get excited when he does cus I love you guys 😊
-
I was very confused in CNS now you make it crystal clear .. I am preparing for medical entrance exam . Love from india❤
