"what are pins and needles?" **proceeds to whip out long lost great-grandma that disappeared 20 years ago**

The worst is falling asleep on you arm, waking up to a floppy piece of meat and sheer panic while you're half awake...

what's weird is that sometimes it's not unpleasant, like when it's completely numb or a soft uniform fuzziness. other times actually painful, with distinct hot and cold needles like a sparkler going off inside or something.

In Brazil we call it “formigamento” which means the feeling that ants are walking around inside your leg, and there is no explanation better than that to describe that feeling

I like how people (even I) call it "static" despite the fact of never actually being able to feel it since it's on a TV but the sound and the look of it just FEELS like what you'd imagine it to be

I like that it's presented with a fun and upbeat tone, meanwhile there's just two corpses casually lying there lol xD

I see a lot of people saying that this hurts, but for me it is just tingling. My limbs feel heavy almost and sometimes depending how odd I am sitting or whatever I can feel my limb really warm as the blood returns to it. It feels like what a bee sting would feel like but without pain I guess.

rest in peace to the two angels who donated their body for this. and thank you for doing so. Rest well my loves❤️

*EVERYBODY GANGSTER TILL THE BODY IN THE BACK SITS UP*

People be freaking out that he’s using real bodies, without realizing the channel is called “Institute of Human Anatomy”.

I know the corpse isn't feeling a thing, but this just gives me the willies when he starts pulling on the muscles & nerves, I'm not a dead body kinda guy. I couldn't watch the whole thing, but stayed long enough to learn about the sciatic nerve being compressed. Makes sense. I've had sciatica, and it's no picnic either.

so-since the signals that our brains interpret as pain when the sciatic nerve “turns back on” are the signals that are catching up after being shut off, would it be accurate to say that the pins and needles lasts (approximately) as long as the leg was in that position ? this is really fascinating stuff, by the way !

Press "F" to pay respect for the person that donated their body for this.

I was thinking at first like “oh wow those are some really accurate models of muscles in the leg” but then i was like wait...

I have this everyday when I sit down, in my feet and toes. I had a herniated disc L4, L5 10 years ago. It’s never ended, I’ve just dealt with it and it doesn’t go away. I got tested for Lyme Disease and other stuff and tested negative. It’s probably due to standing all day for 20 plus years at the shop and various sports injuries. Anyway, I believe it’s just peripheral neuropathy due to age and back issues. Laying down with feet elevated helps alleviate some of it, but mostly I just cope with it and adjust.

As someone who is about to apply to the physical therapy assistant program, I’m excited I found this! Seeing the cadavers really REALLY helps with studying!!!! You make learning anatomy fun 😄😄😄

i love how in almost every scene he is talking in, there is a dead body in the background

When my niece was little she said she had sparklers in her leg. What a great way to put it!

Pins are usually used for joining objects to walls. Needles are usually used for sewing or injections. Hope this helps :^)

"Static" is absolutely perfect, it's what I've kinda visualised it as being all my life. When I was very small I thought it was some variety of energy surging around my arm (I often got pins and needles on my arms when I was sat in weird ways which put some pressure on my elbow). It was quite cool until I moved my arm and then it got hurtier until it went away.

So basically pins and needles is just your body having high ping

“Ah, yes, the backs of the thighs, that makes sense.” -me, sitting on a toilet with a numb leg

This has to be my most interesting channel of all time. Not that clever myself to be into the medical field, but to have this channel as a share for my “in-law-sister” who study to be a doctor and share video links without a single flinch.. this is so wholesome 😁🥰

I found this very interesting especially since I had a knee reconstruction surgery some months ago to repair my acl, mcl, and meniscus, and ever since I’ve had some nerve damage and there’s a section of the side of my calf/shin area that is constantly asleep so that’s fun haha

Guy: lives a long healthy life just to end up dissected in a KZfaq video to explain what I get when I set on the toilet too long.

Me: mainly watches gaming related videos KZfaq: yeah he likes dead human bodies

Love the fact I’m watching this as I start to get pins and needles in my arm from lying on it 😂😂😂😂

Watching these videos is worth it. I have to overcome feelings of nausea everytime but I feel like the knowledge & understanding gained is worth the short-term discomfort on my part.

just some dead humans chilling on tables.

“Static” is a perfect descriptor! Exactly how I would put it. Reminds me of old tv static for some reason

This is a great video in terms of information, and you did make it engaging as well. Great work mate!

1:08 Next time I get pins and needles I am definitely saying my leg feels crunchy

"when you relieve the pressure, it sorta reboots the nerve" imagine if every time your leg fell asleep, it played the windows XP start tone with the static

“Crunchy type of sensation” finally, someone has put it into words

That one fish in spongebob: MY LEG

I personally mostly refer to "pins and needles" not as the leg/arm being asleep, but rather _waking up,_ and you saying it's basically rebooting kind of affirms that for me. I refer to it as "waking up" because there are times where it just goes entirely numb, and the way I experience it, that is it being "asleep." To me, the pins and needles are more the state _between being awake and asleep,_ so either dozing or waking up. I don't wanna call it "falling asleep" personally, as it sometimes just goes numb pretty immediately, and I experience it more when it's "waking up."

me: okay, time for bed youtube: *pins and needles*

Next time my leg falls asleep I’m just gonna say “sorry my leg is being crunchy”

My two observations i've known about it is when I donated blood, there was a sort of "inverted" pins and needles feeling. That one in particular triggered an adrenaline response. Apparently bloodflow can contribute to that feeling. Effectively you can feel your own blood. The other one was i had sat on my leg for so long my foot when total numb (no response, unable to move muscles, felt like a peg with floppy foot)

Can we keep the comments toward the cadaver, who was generous enough to donate their body to science and medicine, respectful? That was a human being. Be kind and respectful to them.

Pins and needles feel like how McDonald’s sprite taste

I just throughly loved watching your video, just stumbled upon it tonight. I’m straight away hooked and I’m learning. This is awesome 👏🏽 thank you 😊 you are also a really great teacher. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Bro ive been binge watching these videos and i love them so much because im actually learning a bunch of stuff i love it its great sitting in my car smokin a joint and watching and learning to these videos

Funfact, in French the sensation isn’t called “pins and needles” but rather “des fourmis dans les jambes” meaning “ants in the legs”

Man: donates body to medical research. Medical research: PiNs AnD NeEdLeS

I love this channel. Things are always explained in ways that even a simple mind can understand. ❤

I always find it interesting and slightly painful to wake up in the morning and find that my hand is cold and feels almost frozen and limp, but at the same time I have that pins and needles feeling, as much as I can try and touch my hand it feels like my arm is in another dimension

"Can you explain to me what causes pins and needles?" "Of course! Give me a minute so I can get the corpse" "Awesome...wait what?"

Him: Parasthesia kind of sounds like Me: anaesthesia Him: paralysis

I'm watching this at 00:15am because I can't sleep and this was recommended to me but this is helpful and I subscribed but now I know my question for this has been answered

I always called it static because the feeling reminded me of the patterns of snow I used to see on old TVs that weren't tuned to any channel

Do one about the Charlie horse in your calf that wakes you up in the middle of the night with curled toes and major pain

I absolutely LOVE this channel.

excellent video soon enough I have neurology exam in physiotherapy and with that depth of knowledge and approach I could get a good score. Thank you!!

i c a n f e e l t h e s t a t i c

Can you do a video explaining “Charlie horses” or really intense cramps in our calves? That would be so cool!

I have M.E and Fibro and I get Paraesthesia EVERYWHERE despite not sitting on a nerve - it mainly affects my pelvic area and feels like I am wetting myself constantly. I am unable to donate blood, tissue or organs and watching your videos has enabled me to make a decision about my body - I am donating my brain stem and spinal cord to the M.E association. My Husband wasn't too happy about my decision but I am happy knowing that I could help to find better treatments or even better - a cure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge x

I used to say my legs felt carbonated or like my blood turned into McDonald's sprite

He’s in a business everyone is dying to get into.

Me: *dies* My body: *appears in 2120 in the background of a video*

thank you to the person who kindly donated their leg for this video

Me, with the Chronic Paresthesia, mainly in the Tibial and lesser in the Peroneal, yeah, stabby, poky, hot railroad spikes, feels swollen like I'm barefoot, standing on one leg, with all my weight on a single rock. All the time, even with my foot up. found this enlightening, and informative. Explained better than most of my doctors. Thanks.

awkward moment when the dead body behind him sits up ...

I enjoy listening to him speak. He doesn’t say “um” or “uh.” It’s pleasant to hear and especially since their topic choices are so relevant and interesting!

I just found this in my recommended and I couldn’t stop watching

It’s still really surreal to see the concrete,inner workings of the body,from actual bodies,rather than computer graphics (granted they’re dry bodies)

When people say “dead leg” they don’t actually mean find a dead leg.. 💀

Im just trippin out that he could just nonchalantly talk and toy around with a dead body

I just watched one video and I have all ready subscribed I love you!!!!♻

Excellent explanation!

The static feel is exactly how id describe it. But I'm not sure why its consider a pain, to me it does not feel remotely close to painful, but then again as soon as it starts i get up.

Foot: hi can I get uhhh *blood cells* Leg: *blood machine broke*

Absolutely fascinating.

Loved this! Thank you!

Me: Sits down too long Nerves: This isn't good, what should we do? Muscles: Just turn it off and on again

“Crunchy” is the weirdest way I’ve heard someone describe the feeling when your foot falls asleep. Edit: HOL UP ARE THOSE REAL BODIES

It's a really amazing channel 👌🏻🙏🏻 i am so happy study from this channel

was randomly on my feed also I watched it and now I know more about this thanks!

Several years ago I shared a tiny single bed with my girlfriend, now wife; I ended up lying with my arm on the edge of the bed frame. I woke up when I turned in my sleep when I was hit in the face with something warm and limp, that turned out to be my left arm that had gotten completely paralyzed. Could not move it at all for about half an hour, and when it came back online it was really numb and tingly. Was so weak I could barely use it the whole day, and it wasn't back to normal until more than a week. The weirdest thing was my brain didn't even think it was par of my body for hours, felt like a heavy and disgustingly warm meat sausage dangling from my shoulder. Even weirder when I got muscle control back (although weak) but no sensation, felt like I was remotely operating a thing rather than moving my arm. Kept crashing it into things and hitting myself cause I had no idea where it was without looking.

Does anyone else just start laughing like a lunatic when you're trying to wake up your leg or arm? The feeling hurts but makes me laugh too.

Excellent explanation of this annoying sensation that I too experience all too often.

Super fascinating!!

Seeing him fiddle with the tendons and stuff makes my leg feel funny :(

“I want to give my body to science” ends up being shown on a KZfaq channel.

Legit have learned more about the human body from this channel than any time spent in school, wicked.

Dude I love it when it falls asleep, I always laugh when it happens, it tickles for some odd reason and I can’t stop until it goes away

I thought the thumbnail was a messed up baguette

Logan Paul: *films one dead body* This guy: "hold my beer"

This was so cool to learn about thanks!

I had never thought of describing the feeling as static, but that is actually the perfect word. I don't get any pain or burning thankfully, just lots of static depending on how long it takes me to notice (I can pretty involved in my books lol)

Me: never even searched anything related to this in any way KZfaq: yeah she’ll wanna watch this 😎

The people who disliked the past videos are featured in this video.

For people who live in climate zones who dip below 30 degrees... Speaking of pins and needles, how about coming indoors after spending some time out in the cold...has the warmer air inside warms you up... it seems as if your hands are either being "pricked" by needles, or being burned (note: some times this happens to toes as well). Is this are nerve issue, circulation issue, or body temperature issue (i.e. the actual flesh is responding harshly to the dramatic change in temperatures)?

great explanation

When my daughter was a little girl she would tell us she had fizzy feet

my mans calm as hell like he’s not in a room with 2 dead bodies
