The Endocrine System

Song for Teaching about Regulating Hormones

Lyrical Learning

Ductless glands that are within

They are called the endocrine
Make chemicals that flow within;
And work with the nervous system
Hormones, hormones
Chemical messengers are what you call the hormones

Each gland produces one or more hormones

With names that end with "...ins" and "...ones"
Cortisone, testosterone are just two of the hormones
Hormones, hormones
Estrogen, progesterone are two more of the hormones

Adrenal makes adrenaline

Fight or flight that comes from them
Pancreas makes insulin
Milk begins with prolactin
Hormones, hormones
The quantity is so tiny but you need all your hormones

Thyroid and the ovaries

Pituitary and the testes
All the glands they do secrete directly in the bloodstream
Hormones, hormones
Stimulate body functions:
The duty of your hormones
