Endocrine System | Summary

The purpose of this video is to simplify hormones and their functions. I describe what a target cell is, receptors for hormones, and I compare steroid hormones with amino-acid based hormones and I make sure students know the difference between exocrine glands and endocrine glands. Then I group hormones based on how they affect blood levels of glucose, calcium, water, salt, and red blood cells. I go over a few hormones that affect blood pressure, and briefly describe cortisol's effects. I wrap up by describing 5 reproductive hormones, 2 lactation & milk let-down hormones, and growth hormone. It's a whirlwind 16 minute video, but I think it covers what you'd need to know for most pre-nursing type standardized exams (for example, the TEAS). In the Endocrine System playlist I have several more in-depth endocrine videos. Happy Studying!
Hormones mentioned: insulin, glucagon, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, epinephrine, cortisol, angiotensin II, natriuretic peptides, growth hormone, FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, prolactin, oxytocin.

[mrskurd]

She’s the best. Literally when u focus you will understand. I have my test in 7 days

[HunnyBones]

Thank you! This video is quick and as well so informative. You did such a good job of describing everything. As well as the blood vessel diagram! I am studying for the teas, and take them this Friday. I always keep getting mixed up with does it make bp increase or decrease. This is the ONLY video that I can say shows it all in one and makes it simple to memorize! Thank you!

[ThereYouAreT]

Wow wow wow. She is helping you memorize at the same time with the drawings, giving you time to asborb the info. Teachers should be allowed to teach the best way they can in the classroom rather than some department heads telling them how they should teach the material to students

[maitripatel]

I really like the way you make your videos, I am studying for my Teas so, would you be able to make more videos on summarizing other systems !!! Really appreciate it !!

[nurseivamay]

I love how simple you keep it and it makes much more sense to me than most others

[chilson]

Nicely done, currently working on my paramedic license and this has cleared up a couple things for me

[MommyUvOne]

[agglyusr]

Would you mind making a summary video on the urinary system? Thank you very much for everything. Your videos are so darn helpful.

The truth.. In the beginning it was rough for me to follow through, the ADHD part of me was enjoying the coloring 😂 but I must admit in retrospect the speed was perfect because subconsciously as you were coloring I am paying close attention to everything that you're saying not realizing it. I am a huge fan of what you do. Thank you!

[Neutron-unyx]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I am studying for the MCAT and this makes everything I have learned very interconnected and yet interesting. Appreciate your videos

[joonie]

Thank you😂 I’m studying a day before the test

[annymus]

Aldosterone is released by the adrenal cortex and acts on the kidneys. I think you incorrectly stated this in your presentation
