I didnt understand it the first time I watched it, but after studying the textbook and watching it again, everything made so much sense. Having a better understanding in physics and ?pressure in the respiratory system also helps. That was truly a high yield lecture, but it's best if you watch it after doing some reading in your textbooks.
Thank you doctor Wilson, you made understanding this topic very simple. As a fact, I understood better from this lecture than the teacher who gives physiology in my college.
