Teaching renal anatomy & physiology is tricky and sometimes difficult. In The Pee Episode I'll tell you how I know that for sure. Plus, I'll share some possible strategies for providing the clarity needed to avoid confusion and that unhelpful kind of frustration that sometimes accompanies the renal module in our course. And there's a song from Greg Crowther! 00:00 | Introduction 00:47 | Adventures With Tarzan 06:51 | Making Heads or Tails or Loops 20:32 | Sponsored by AAA 21:31 | Big Picture of Renal A&P 32:27 | Pee Values With Greg Crowther 34:34 | Sponsored by HAPI 35:39 | Scared? 41:39 | Sponsored by HAPS 42:33 | Urinalysis 50:17 | Staying Connected   ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-125.html 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-125.html/#badge ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: theAPprofessor.org/survey ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Revue, Tumblr, or Instagram! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the thrice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates theAPprofessor.org/updates You’re the reason I get up in the morning.
