endocrine seems to be a big stumbling block for a lot of people. here are some links, including those for reviewing the anatomy. i've also included two medical school sites on physical examination because i know that they include abnormal findings and address some of the diseases as part of the physical examination process on their pages. just link to the neuro or body area where a hormone is secreted to find some of this information. there's a lot for you to explore here!
