0:00hello everyone we're still moving
0:02through our anatomy and physiology and
0:04today's system we'll be focusing on the
0:07endocrine system
0:08so for the endocrine system all of the
0:11talk that we have had about homeostasis
0:13it all starts and ends here with the
0:17endocrine system very important system
0:19made up of organs and glands that
0:21produce and store as well as release
0:24hormones now we've got all of these
0:27glands here throughout the body that
0:30have come from all the other systems
0:32that we've talked about so far so
0:34starting at the top pituitary gland
0:36working our way down to the thyroid
0:39gland you've got your pancreas here and
0:43at the top of your kidneys you have
0:45what's called adrenal glands and then we
0:47have our male and female reproductive
0:50hormones that are produced as well
0:52whole purpose of hormones is to regulate
0:55chemical reactions in cells as well as
0:57control functions of the organs tissues
1:00and other cells when I talk about Body
1:03Balance this is where it's at
1:05homeostasis and the endocrine system go
1:07hand in hand all right so in regards to
1:10our hormones we actually have two types
1:12uh there in red you have the exocrine
1:15hormones as well as your endocrine
1:17hormones now with exocrine hormones they
1:20release hormones however they release
1:23hormones into what's called specific
1:25target cells they're very very general
1:28or I'm sorry very specific about the job
1:31that they have to do whereas endocrine
1:33is more of a general aspect endocrine
1:36releases hormones directly into the
1:39bloodstream so exocrine into Target
1:42cells endocrine releases into the
1:45bloodstream either way hormones are
1:48chemicals used to increase or decrease
1:50activity of specific target cells and
1:54there's that term they aim in the body's
1:57homeostasis
