"Endocrine Glands: How They Affect You" dates to 1956. The film uses animation to show the location of endocrine glands in the human body and to explain how hormones which are secreted by these glands affect growth, metabolism, sexual development, and behavior. Discusses the use of animal hormones in the treatment of human diseases. It explains how people differ in physical appearance, personality, and behavior due to hormones secreted by endocrine glands. These glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, pineal, thymus, islands of Langerhans, adrenals, and sex glands. The pituitary gland, located in the head, is crucial for growth and other bodily functions, secreting hormones that regulate other endocrine glands.

The thyroid gland controls metabolism speed through thyroxin, and iodine is essential for its function. The parathyroids regulate calcium metabolism, affecting bones, teeth, and blood clotting. The pancreas contains the islands of Langerhans, which secrete insulin to regulate blood sugar, and insufficient insulin causes diabetes.

The adrenal glands produce hormones like cortisone and adrenaline, which prepare the body for emergencies. The sex glands produce hormones that develop and maintain sexual characteristics and reproductive functions. Hormones regulate many bodily processes, including puberty and reproduction, through complex interactions among endocrine glands.

Advances in endocrinology have led to treatments for various conditions, and ongoing research continues to uncover new discoveries.

0:45 - 1:02: People differ in physical appearance, size, shape, personality, and behavior due to chemical processes regulated by hormones.

1:02 - 1:29: Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, pineal, thymus, islands of Langerhans, adrenals, and sex glands.

1:29 - 2:01: The pituitary gland, located in the head, is crucial for growth and other bodily functions. It has two lobes: anterior and posterior.

2:01 - 2:46: The anterior lobe of the pituitary secretes growth hormone and other hormones that regulate other endocrine glands. Imbalances can cause dwarfism or gigantism.

2:46 - 3:55: The posterior lobe of the pituitary produces hormones involved in childbirth and metabolism.

3:55 - 4:56: Metabolism is the sum of all bodily processes converting food into energy or tissue. The pituitary regulates metabolism of water, carbohydrates, and salt.

4:56 - 6:07: The thyroid gland, located in the neck, controls metabolism speed through thyroxin. Iodine is essential for thyroid function, and deficiency can cause goiters.

6:07 - 7:05: The parathyroids, behind the thyroid, regulate calcium metabolism, affecting bones, teeth, and blood clotting.

7:05 - 8:16: The pineal and thymus glands are less understood but believed to influence growth and sexual development.

8:16 - 9:37: The pancreas contains the islands of Langerhans, which secrete insulin to regulate blood sugar. Insufficient insulin causes diabetes.

9:37 - 10:39: The adrenal glands, on the kidneys, produce hormones like cortisone and adrenaline, which prepare the body for emergencies.

10:39 - 11:40: The sex glands (testes and ovaries) produce hormones that develop and maintain sexual characteristics and reproductive functions.

11:40 - 12:03: Hormones regulate many bodily processes, including puberty and reproduction, through complex interactions among endocrine glands.

12:03 - 14:37: Advances in endocrinology have led to treatments for various conditions, and ongoing research continues to uncover new discoveries.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
