Endocrine System: Science Videos

This short series explains the endocrine system, the network of glands that sends chemical messages called hormones through your body. You will learn the main types of hormones, how they work inside cells, and how the brain's hypothalamus and pituitary gland control the rest of the system. Hormones affect growth, mood, sleep, and stress. You should be comfortable with basic biology first.
