TED-Ed: How do your hormones work? - Emma Bryce

The endocrine system orchestrates bodily changes like growth and puberty by regulating hormones. It involves glands, hormones, and cell receptors to maintain balance. Hormones like those from the thyroid influence energy use and body functions. Puberty involves testosterone and estrogen, affecting development.
