Overview and Anatomy & Physiology | Endocrine System (Part 1)

Welcome to the first lesson in this new series on the endocrine system. In this lesson we provide a good overview of what the endocrine system is in review and explain about its function. We also cover the endocrine system anatomy and physiology from the glands to their locations to their purpose.

We start off talking about the function of the endocrine system and contrast endocrine glands with exocrine glands. We then move on to explain how the endocrine system and the nervous system are working together throughout the body to achieve a whole host of different goals.

From there we take a look at hormones and what they are and how they work and how they are used by the endocrine system to achieve effects at target cells. Next we move on to talk about the feedback mechanism that is used to help to regulate the release of these hormone.

Finally we finish out the lesson with a look at the anatomy and physiology of all of the endocrine glands in the body and talk about their location, function, and how most of them work together within this complex endocrine system.

The goal is to provide a good foundation of understanding of the endocrine system so that as we move forward in future lessons, we can take this knowledge of the basics and apply it to understanding what is going wrong with the various disorders and disease that you can find your patients in.

00:12 The endocrine system regulates the body's internal environment.
02:11 Differentiating between endocrine and exocrine glands and their functions
04:32 Hormones act on target cells through specific receptor sites.
06:53 The endocrine system consists of three categories of hormones: peptides, steroids, and amines.
09:20 The endocrine system works mainly through negative feedback loops.
11:25 The hypothalamus is the control center that links the central nervous system and the endocrine system.
14:04 The parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in the body.
16:23 The pancreas is responsible for the secretion of insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels.
18:42 The gonads release sex hormones responsible for secondary sex characteristics and reproductive processes.
20:37 Understanding the endocrine system is critical for discussing disorders resulting from hormone production imbalance.

Thank you for the lesson. Usually these videos put me right to sleep, but you had my attention the whole time. Also, I understood everything!!! You are a great professor and this means a lot since I cannot attend lessons in school/am learning straight from the book! You have gained a sub.

[ryanhallamon]

I was surprise the video wasn't boring. This was perfect

[alexcross]

21min better than 2 weeks worth of lectures. Thank you!!

Hello, I would just like to leave a feedback on this lecture.

IT WAS GOOD! As a Nurse going back to practice in the hospital this lectures help me get back to my feet again. More power to you and the team who is behind this.

I had to study this last year and had a great instructor! This year I’m doing a refresher and the instructor is terrible at explaining this through zoom. Thank you for this. ❤

[harshitchoudhury]

Absolutely loved your breakdown, explanation, diagrams and neat printing. I start a six week course in 2 days!

Amazing work and wonderful refresher… like a nice breath of fresh air to my memory because I’ve always adored the heart ♥️. I plan to watch all of these and tell as many other DNP students about this!

[misssierraelyse]

Thank you so much! As a pre-nursing student taking A&P these videos are super helpful breakdowns while I study!

[gailkhampton]

I'm so excited about starting the Endocrine System. I'm going back to school very soon.

[imnessa]

Watching, because I’ve been having continuous anxiety that starts before I wake fully, and my tummy starts churning, then the adrenaline, then the anxiety. Doctors are still trying to figure out why. They did say I have a higher red platelet count, above normal, but don’t know why either. However, all this did start within the month that Covid, lockdown and Homeschooling started, and I immediately stopped periods that month and was told I was in post menopause. So I think it’s definitely hormone related. Thank you for the video, I will check out your other videos.

[streetsofgold]

Thank you for making this video! Very helpful as I study for the HESI.

[sarahclay]

I enjoyed this overview. I am currently studying for the TEAS exam and this was perfect.

[ravensimone]

Very helpful, seeing the drawings and writing as you explained the organs helps a lot. Thank you for this video. 😊

[pfgfdht]

This gave me such a better understanding. Thank you

[taskeennawaz]
