Anatomy and Physiology: Bit by Bit

Anatomy & Physiology - Bit by Bit is the #1 A&P podcast on the internet, as rated by FeedSpot and Millionpodcasts. Dr. Steve Sullivan is a tenured Professor of Anatomy & Physiology at Bucks County Community College, where he’s taught since 2002. He’s also the author of Anatomy & Physiology Digital Suite from McGraw-Hill Education. This show is not only intended for college students taking A&P, but also for anyone who is interested in how the human body is structured and how it functions.

Prostate Cancer and Uro-oncology with Dr. Alexander Kutikov, MD - Episode 94

Oncology, general surgery and basic-science learners get a practical overview of prostate cancer and wider uro-oncology. PSA is treated as a risk marker rather than a diagnosis, while Gleason grade, anatomical stage, visible haematuria, bladder field risk, kidney-preserving surgery and multidisciplinary decision-making shape investigation and treatment.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Occupational Therapy, & Death Doulas with Dr. Janine Rajauski - Episode 93

Rheumatology, rehabilitation and palliative-care clinicians get a multi-system view of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Joint instability, chronic pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms and eye or vascular complications are linked to pacing, bracing, occupational therapy, disability-aware communication and preservation of meaningful activity at the end of life.

Multiple Sclerosis with Selena Buongiorno, PA-C (Episode 92)

General practice, neurology and ophthalmology learners get a patient-centred review of multiple sclerosis as immune-mediated central nervous system demyelination. Sensory symptoms, optic neuritis, gait disturbance, fatigue, Lhermitte-type symptoms, referral, disease-modifying therapy and invisible symptom burden are kept together.

Autoimmune Disease - Episode 91 (with Dr. Alexis Barbut)

Joint swelling with prolonged morning stiffness, Raynaud’s symptoms, mouth ulcers, sicca symptoms or rash should trigger a multisystem history before ordering broad tests. This is a good choice for separating autoimmune disease from immunodeficiency, mechanical joint disease and low-value autoantibody interpretation.

Stroke, Cerebrovascular Disease, & Aneurysm - Episode 90

Sudden facial droop, arm weakness, speech difficulty or thunderclap headache needs time-critical stroke thinking. B-FAST, last-known-well time, glucose, CT before thrombolysis and swallow screening give this broad anatomy review enough immediate bedside relevance.

Alzheimer Disease and Parkinson Disease - Episode 89

Memory loss and parkinsonism are easier to teach than to examine well. Open this when you want a clear reminder that repetitive questioning and preserved remote memory point one way, while asymmetry and bradykinesia matter more than tremor when Parkinson's disease is suspected.

Infectious Disease & Vaccines with Dr. Anusha Viswanathan, MD - Episode 88

Start with the child, not the temperature. This is the clearest basic-science-to-bedside listen in the set, linking host barriers, fever assessment, neonatal sepsis risk, vaccines, and antibiotic stewardship so that suspected infection is judged by appearance, perfusion, age, and likely site of entry.

COPD with Dr. Nina Maouelainin - Episode 87

COPD becomes easier to manage when treated as a phenotype, not one label. Spirometry confirms obstruction, but symptom burden, sputum production, CT change and falling activity level should guide inhalers, airway clearance, rehabilitation and smoking cessation.

Joints (Part 2) - Episode 86

Joint anatomy becomes clinically useful when mechanism meets movement. This teaching note links shoulder instability, carpal tunnel symptoms, ACL injury and ankle sprain to the soft tissues under load, reminding learners that precise movement terms sharpen examination, revision and referral decisions.

Joints (Part 1) - Episode 84

Localise joint symptoms before widening the differential: capsule, ligament, meniscus, tendon sheath and bursa generate different pain patterns. A prolonged ankle-sprain recovery should raise syndesmotic injury, and range restriction only makes sense when read against bone, soft-tissue tension and muscle control.
