A Message to the Endocrine System

[amarie24]

A'ight, so...you're the very first system we gon' cover this semester in both Anatomy & Physiology II lecture and lab.

A'ight, fine.

But see? When we're talkin' about the skeletal system...that's all in the bones. When we're talking about muscles, that's all in muscles. Nervous system, that's the brain and the many peripheral systems of nerves stemming from and to the brain. Integumentary system is just skin, hair, and nails.

Like, there's a pattern here. There's an easy, designated place that everyone else is in.

But the thing about you with your skank ass?

Endocrine system, you are all over the place. For fuck's sake, you got the hypothalamus (The Big Dawg) up in the brain. And below that, you have the pituitary gland-and then you have the posterior and anterior parts of the gland, haha!

And don't even nobody started on your goddamned pineal gland (what basically puts us to sleep).

But you're not done yet. Next you got your friggin' thyroid gland in the throat. Adrenal gland on top of each kidney. And a freakin' pancreas that I thought was in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen.

...Hahaha...hah.

Endocrine system, you are all over the place. And so I come to you asking you this: make up your freakin' mind.

Jesus Lord have mercy.

Imma get an A on you, tho. Imma cream you on my tests. Imma do it.

You'll get it. Endocrine is everywhere because it's a bunch of stuff that's there to help some other thing out, so it thought it would be a good idea to become neighbors.

..Well, tell the endocrine that being neighbors with so many other places is putting a strain on the freakin' anatomy & physiology real estate!!! >.<

*cheers you on* You can do it!

... that sure is scattered all over the place, though.

Thanks oh-so much, Red! And yeah, it's also a whole lotta hormones to remember,teehee! :P
