I enjoyed this video that I found on YouTube because it gave a great overview of both the structure AND function of the endocrine system. It covers structure by talking about the different classes of endocrine hormones, specifically the thyroid or steroid type hormones, and delves into the function with a great in-depth animation on how the glands actually work inside the cell. The animations on target cells, negative feedback , and positive feedback help me to wrap my brain around the concepts. Sometimes simply reading or hearing the information is just not enought to get a full comprehension.
