Endocrine System Hormones - Crash Course by Hank Green

Endocrine System, Part 1 - Glands & Hormones

Hank begins teaching you about your endocrine system by explaining how it uses glands to produce hormones. These hormones are either amino-acid based and water soluble, or steroidal and lipid-soluble, and may target many types of cells or just turn on specific ones. He will also touch on hormone cascades, and how the HPA axis affects your stress response.   10 minute video.
