Endocrine System: How Hormones Work?

The endocrine system is composed of glands that produce hormones to affect changes in distant target organs. It is crucial in maintaining homeostasis—balance—in the body. There are seven major endocrine glands scattered throughout the body: the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, the thyroid, the thymus, the pancreas, the adrenal glands and the gonads (testes or ovaries) (eight if you count the hypothalamus). All endocrine glands secrete their hormones into the bloodstream from there the hormones travel to the target organs.

I must say this. Is the best teaching I've had so far, making it all easy to understand. I'm a big subscriber

I was not sure of the topic until I came across this video. I now understand the topic of Endocrine system and how the hormones work. The voice over is soothing, and I was not bored just by listening and watching the video. Subscribed.
