Endocrine Glands in Human Body Video Lecture - Class 8

what you watching there ah body systems
so which ones have you learned about ah
the muscular system the skeletal system
the circulatory system the nervous
system and so many more it's wonderful
that you know so much about your body oh
you enjoy music too
did you know there is a body system that
works just like the conductor or music
director of this Orchestra it is this
system of our body whose organs control
and direct the other body systems well
it's called the endocrine system just as
the different musicians in an orchestra
needs someone to tell them when how and
what to play
so is it with the organs in our body our
body organs also need someone to tell
them what should be done at what time
not that organ organs of our body need
direction from a central control system
the endocrine system does this job it is
the central control system so can you
tell me what the name of the system is
oh no it is the endocrine system
the endocrine system has many glands
these glands make hormones that control
the functioning of other body systems oh
whoa
take it easy my friend I'll explain it
to you in detail you see our body has
many small organs called glands these
glands together make up the endocrine
system each gland has a special job let
me introduce you to your glands first
meet the pituitary gland the boss of all
endocrine glands then comes mr. thyroid
the growth agent he is joined by his
friends the parathyroids right on top of
your kidneys are the adrenal glands the
pancreas in charge of your blood sugar
levels and the reproductive glands
testes in males and ovaries in females
these glands send out hormones in our
bodies so tell me what do these glands
produce
ah not harmonium these are hormones
hormones are the messengers of our body
they move through the blood and carry
the messages from the endocrine glands
to all the other parts of our body so
what forms the main part of our
endocrine system and what do they
produce to control and balance the other
systems of our body wonderful did you
know that each endocrine gland has a
different job to do here is the
pituitary gland the pituitary gland in
your brain is the master gland it takes
the instructions from your brain and
produces hormones that control the other
glands it is also responsible for your
growth and yet it's as small as a pea
well that's another way of getting
taller I suppose another important gland
you have is situated in your throat the
thyroid kind of looks like a butterfly
doesn't it
the thyroid helps the body make energy
from food at just the right rate it also
produces hormones that help in the
growth of bones the brain and the
nervous systems of children so it really
is an important gland for kids
mr. thyroid has four tiny friends called
parathyroids these glands control the
calcium level in your body these sitting
like crowns on top of your kidney are
triangle-shaped
adrenal glands the adrenal glands
produce hormones like adrenaline that
gives your body an extra boost in times
of stress like during an exam you could
use adrenaline and lastly let's talk
about the pancreas the pancreas makes
the hormone insulin which ensures a
steady level of glucose in the blood not
too much not too little
you also have reproductive endocrine
glands in your body that help you grow
into a macho man or a lovely woman
alright enough of the daydreaming there
each of these glands are critical to the
proper functioning of your body do you
remember them the pituitary glands the
thyroid with parathyroids the adrenal
glands the pancreas
and the reproductive glands superb do
you know what's the best thing about the
endocrine system it's that it works day
and night to keep the functions of your
body in delicate balance and yet it all
happens without us even thinking about
it the endocrine system is the silent
conductor of the orchestra of our body
