The endocrine system functions in the release and regulation of hormones, which are released by endocrine glands. It has components such as the hypothalamus, which controls hormone production and release. The endocrine system includes glands such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas, which produce and release hormones that travel through the bloodstream to reach target cells. The pituitary gland has two parts: the anterior pituitary, which decreases hormone production, and the posterior pituitary, which increases hormone production. The thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolism, while the adrenal glands produce hormones that control blood glucose levels. The pancreas produces insulin, which controls blood glucose levels, and glucagon, which increases blood glucose levels. Other glands, such as the ovaries and testes, also have hormone-producing functions. Communication between glands and target cells is facilitated by hormones such as oxytocin, which is released by the posterior pituitary, and ACTH, which is released by the anterior pituitary. The endocrine system plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, water retention, and hormone production.

Endocrine hormones are molecules released by cells that are parts of the________. These cells are embedded in capillary beds, so the hormones enter the bloodstream and move throughout the body. Only specific cells of the body, called______ , can respond to any given hormone, because only these cells bear proteins, called________ ,that can bind the hormone.

00:01 Okay, moneh answer this question, we have to fill these blanks here with these words.
00:06 Okay, we have posterior, thyroxine, ovaries, water retention, hormones, and other words.
00:13 So here you have endocrine system uses, and the most appropriate word here is going to be, hormones.
00:23 Hormones which are released by endocrine glands and travel through, well, hormones from the endocrine system are going to travel long distances through the blood, okay? so you have here the blood, blood, to reach, and there are many organs that are going to accept those hormones, and those organs in a general are called target, okay? target cells, so you're going to have here to reach, target cells that have receptors, okay, receptors for those hormones that are practically specific for those forms, okay? now we have here an endocrine system has components such as hypothalamus, which controls.
01:12 And the hyposalamos is a structure.
01:13 For example, you can have a hypothalamus here, and it is going to control another gland that is called the pituitary gland.
01:20 And this pituitary gland has an anterior part and also a posterior part.
01:24 So you have here pituitary, then it says with two parts.
01:34 And you have here, you want to have here the anterior.
01:40 Pithuptuary gland and here we're going to have the posterior pithuinary gland.
01:46 Okay, so the anterior pituitary gland is going to secrete hormones, for example, like t .s.
01:53 Okay, and this t .s .h is going to control the thyroid gland, okay? the thyroid gland, okay? and this thyroid gland is going to get stimulated by this t .s .h.
02:05 And it is going to release thyroxin, specifically t4 and t3, like this.
02:12 But in general you can say like thyroxin.
02:16 So you're going to have here, thyroxin.
02:20 And it says which controls...
