In this episode, we take a deep dive into chemical coordination and integration, exploring the fascinating world of hormones and glands that regulate human physiology.
We’ll begin with the endocrine glands — pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, pineal, and thymus — explaining their secretions and physiological roles. Next, we’ll uncover the functions of hormones like insulin, glucagon, thyroxine, cortisol, growth hormone, and sex hormones, while highlighting the feedback mechanisms that keep the body in balance. We’ll also cover hormonal disorders such as diabetes, goiter, Addison’s disease, and Cushing’s syndrome, simplifying them with NEET-oriented clarity. Special focus will be given to hypothalamus-pituitary control, the concept of target tissues, and coordination between the nervous and endocrine systems.
With memory hacks, flow-based explanations, and exam tips, this session ensures you master chemical coordination and integration — a scoring chapter in NEET Biology!
