Common Hormone Axes

<p>Episode 48</p> <p>This MCAT Basics podcast covers three common hormone axes. I break down the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, and the renin angiotensin-aldosterone System (RAAS) axis. I explain the anatomy of the regions, organs, and hormones involved, and detail the physiology within each axis.</p> <ul> <li>[01:27] Defining a Hormone Axis</li> <li>[02:18] The HPA Axis</li> <li>[02:33] The Anatomy of the Hypothalamus</li> <li>[03:46] The Anatomy of the Pituitary Gland</li> <li>[05:16] The Anatomy of the Adrenal Glands</li> <li>[06:50] The Physiology of the HPA Axis</li> <li>[16:06] The HPG Axis</li> <li>[16:38] The Anatomy of the Gonads</li> <li>[19:21] The Physiology of the HPG Axis</li> <li>[26:27] The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System</li> </ul> <p class="p1">Please email me if you have any comments or concerns: MCATpodcast@medschoolcoach.com</p> <p class="p1">Thanks for listening!</p>
