Endocrine System

Hello AN community!

Pre-nursing student here...finishing up my last pre-reqs for entrance into my school's Fall 2012 program. Anyway, I'm taking A&P 2, 2nd week of classes, and we're discussing the endocrine system. I'm having trouble putting all the bits and pieces together to understand it, and to be able to explain it to someone else. I've read on here somewhere that the endocrine system is maybe a lil more difficult to grasp than the others...it does seem to be where all the problems essentially arise. Any suggestions on how to study this particular portion or what worked for you would be greatly appreciated!

    I wrote everything on index cards: the major glands, control centres (e.g. pituitary, hypothalamus), hormones, target organs/tissues, and physiological effects. I would then arrange the cards into feedback loops.

    Whenever in doubt, flashcards and concept maps.

    I heavily relied on goofy songs from YouTube. Some are to embarassing to be caught listening to, but it helps. There's nothing like doing laundry and letting the family hear you sing them! If you can understand the lyrics to this one, check out

    . There are many others, too. I say record them on your iPod and rock out!
