Endocrine System Flashcards
The endocrine system can feel overwhelming because it involves glands scattered throughout the body, each releasing different hormones with different effects. This deck organizes that material by gland location — brain, neck, abdomen, and reproductive organs — so the hormones stay connected to where they come from.
Cards cover the major glands and their hormones, including thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreatic, and pituitary hormones, along with how the body regulates hormone levels. Each card includes a clinical note on what happens when a hormone runs too high or too low.
