What is the endocrine system and what do your hormones do? In this video, we explain the major endocrine glands and their hormones — from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain, to the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, and gonads. Learn what 50 different hormones do, how insulin regulates blood sugar, why cortisol spikes under stress, how melatonin controls sleep, and why calling estrogen a "female hormone" is a myth.
Whether you're a biology student preparing for an anatomy exam, or curious about how hormones control everything in your body, this beginner-friendly animated explainer covers it all.
