Overview of the Endocrine System

In this video, Dr Mike outlines hormones produced and released by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, kidneys, and gonads (testes and ovaries).
He discusses the function of these hormones to maintain bodily homeostasis.

I understood this better than my full endocrine lectures. Thank you for saving me with my A&P exam tomorrow!!

I’m 80 years old, and didn’t know what endocrine meant.🤦🏼‍♀️ So glad I found you, Dr. Mike. You made a very complex system seem so basic, and easy to understand. Thank you for taking some of the mystery out of the word “endocrine” for me, and enriching my mind.🙏👏🏻👍😀🌸🤗🤸🏼

Am a student at a university in Zambia, but have never seen a lecturer like this one I tell you are fire...

I know there's a lot of pre-med students here cramming for tests but I'm actually just trying to figure out what's wrong with me. I've been having the strangest symptoms and sometimes they're terrifying. You're a very good teacher. I'm trying to understand about the thyroid and hypothalamus. I don't want to sound stupid but I feel like I have better understanding now so thank you very much. Drs and nurses and teachers have always been superheroes in my eyes. Bless you. 🙏

I've been struggling to understand this chapter until I found this video! I'm amazed at how you were able to explain everything and make concepts actually CONNECT, which just made it so much easier for me to remember things. Thank you!

My goodness! Your channel is so underrated. The way you explain and break things down makes something so complicated so easy to understand. I'm definitely going to pass all of my classes with flying colors. Thank you so much doc!

This is actually my quiz on Tuesday after the 4th of July.

I haven’t read anything yet but I feel like I know how the Endocrine System fully functions now.

You made it so easy to understand Doc.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Your explanations were spot on, have exams in a few days and I've really struggled with hormones and what they are responsible for. Thank you for this .

[newsyringe]

I looked up this video to study for my test and at first, I was extremely confused but then I started doing practice questions and I magically knew all the answers thanks to this video. I don't know how but you taught me without me even registering it. Thank you so much!!

[Yohannesboy]

Amazing summary of many details in short period of time. I found Dr. Mike to be a passionate professor that I could listen to all daylong and won't get bored. Thank you Dr. Mike!!

[kautherahmedin]

I have been struggling with the unit and it took me 3 months to understand. You just explained everything in 15 min thank you so much. You are amazing Doc

[dashintn]

Hi Dr. Mike I was really having difficulty understanding the endocrine system. Til I found your video and you literally made it so easy and understandable! I can not thank you enough you gained a new subscriber

[chera]

I understood more in that 17 mins than my 45 min lecture. Life would be so much easier if all the lecturers explains concepts like that

[debbiesearle]

Thank you for this. My husband currently has a pituitary tumour and this has really helped me understand it a lot more.

[jaimeedeon]

I’ve been struggling to understand the endocrine system and none of the videos I’ve watched thus far have seemed to help EXCEPT this one. Wow. I’m so impressed and so thankful. You broke it down so well in a way that I easily followed and understood your content. You’re great at what you do!!!

[noldor]

[terihartman]

You are my new GO I understand you more than I do anyone else! I am so thankful that I found your channel! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do these. 2 years later, I am just finding them and am going back over chapters I have already covered but watching you just makes it come together! You're a lifesaver
