The first is on endocrine histology (mainly of the HPA axis), the second is endocrine embryology (on this current page). This lecture covers endocrine development, note that a better understanding can be made if you understand the adult function of each endocrine organ (though this will not be covered in the Lecture).

22 sty 2024 · Methods This article focuses on recent developments in understanding the role hormones play in development. We also cover recent discoveries in signaling pathways and hormonal regulation.
The endocrine system produces hormones that are instrumental in maintaining homeostasis and regulating reproduction and development. A hormone is a chemical messenger produced by a cell that effects specific change in the cellular activity of other cells (target cells). Unlike exocrine glands (which produce substances such as saliva,
