I will reply as soon as possible since I am a busy graduate student. But ultimately, I would still like to be a resource for you to use. I only wish for your success.

Good luck. You got this. Happy studying!

I want to personally apologize for mispronouncing a couple of words. I definitely struggle with certain words, even though I attempted to practice their pronunciations prior to recording! I will usually have the word written down so that I do not confuse anyone with my pronunciation! Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the video :)

As a wife, military spouse and a mom of two very young boys. My time is very crucial and minimal to cover so much material for the MCAT. I am so grateful for your videos and Pdfs. Thank you for all the hard work and for all the details you put into your videos.

Professor Eman, I have been watching your videos on a loop. I can't tell you how thankful I am that you took the time to provide such a helpful resource to students. God bless you!

you are a life saver, i had been watching your videos and in last 10 hours i think i learnt more than passed 2 months of studying for MCAT.

just wanna add little information about ANP and mineralocorticoids which seems to have similar function. ANP promotes sodium and water excretion whereas mineralocorticoids promotes absorption of water and sodium retention. they both maintain homeostasis.

Per usual, amazing video and I will forever be grateful! Thank you!

Hi Professor Enam, thank you for getting us covered. I have a correction to make 25:18- The hypothalamus stops releasing dopamine onto the anterior pituitary, which allows prolactin release instead leading to milk production.

thank you as always + don't apologize for mispronouncing the words, I understood you!

Hi Professor,
Question for Growth Hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, why is it a direct hormone if its stimulated by GRHR (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) Which is produced by the hypothalamus, shouldnt it be tropic? Thank You!!!!

Hello Professor Eman, I need some clarification. For the MCAT do we need only need to know the endocrine organs and their hormones. I am having trouble with understanding source and type.
