"Physio Flip" contains a semester's worth of physiology lectures, created by a physiology professor. This channel is dedicated to helping students and instructors navigate physiology by providing full access to a semester's worth of physiology videos. Some videos are entire lectures while others are one part of a lecture. You can follow through the video series in order by following the numbers that are in each video title. For instructors interested in using these lectures to "flip" your course, please contact us!

This video is a step by step walkthrough of how to predict the tonicity of common intravenous fluid solutions: 0.9% NaCl and 5% dextrose in water. For a review of tonicity see videos 2, 4, and 5.
