About

Let me show you what you're made of. I teach human anatomy and do a bunch of other things in my life. I thought I'd use this channel to share some anatomy thoughts and include some of the other stuff too. YouTube makes it easy to share. I produce 2 types of video: talking about anatomy and personal vlogs. There's an anatomy teaching playlist if you just want to look at those videos. Do not use these videos for medical advice. I'm talking about human anatomy, but you should meet with a healthcare professional in meatspace for proper medical advice. Never use a single source of information for learning and assume it is free of errors. Use multiple sources and your own brain. These videos are not endorsed by the university at which I work. I have a PhD, I am a scientist, I cannot offer medical advice.

Video Description

Or, hiatal hernia anatomy. In a hiatus hernia the gap in the diaphragm that the oesophagus passes through also allows the stomach (and maybe more) to pass from the abdomen into the thorax. Let's look at the anatomy here, including the lower oesophageal sphincter, the phrenoesophageal membrane, have a think about the pressure differences in the thorax and abdomen, the types of hiatus hernia and possible effects.
