MCAT Episodes

MCAT -7- Cells: Eukaryotes

We are going to talk about the plasma membrane, the components of the cytoskeleton, the organelles, and introduce the different types of membrane transportation. We will review membrane fluidity, fluid mosaic model, and cell theory.

MCAT -6- Bacteria/Viruses

This podcast delves into the fascinating realm of microscopic life. We’ll talk the difference between prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes. We’ll explore how scientists classify these organisms using a ranking system, journeying from domain all the way down to species.

MCAT -5- Embryogenesis II

The episode picks up right after implantation. It covers the formation of the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. These germ layers give rise to different tissues in the body. We will talk about teratogens and stem cell and fetal circulation.

MCAT -4- Early Embryogenesis

This episode teaches about the formation and development of an embryo in the first eight weeks. Fertilization is explained, detailing how sperm meets egg and delivers its genetic material. We cover the stages of embryo development: zygote, morula, blastula, and blastocyst.

MCAT -3- Female Reproductive System

Let’s crack the code on ovulation, and the menstrual cycle, and have you rocking the lingo like a pro: luteal phase, follicle phase, corpus luteum, progesterone – Get ready to go beyond the basics and truly understand what’s happening inside you each month.

MCAT -2- Male Reproductive System

Let’s talk about sex- or let’s talk about reproductive systems, and hormones, and the anterior pituitary, and the endometrium, and the epididymis. This episode is all about the male reproductive system and we cover everything from the hypothalamus to the epididymus.

MCAT -1- Cell Cycle, Mitosis, and Meiosis

Let’s start at the beginning with the cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis. We will talk -chromatin, diploid, haploid, homologues, sister chromatids , centromeres, and kinetochores. By the end of the episode you will be a pro from prophase to telophase II.
