About the Course
Hormones, are the most commonly blamed agents in many situations. When a teenager misbehaves, we say, “You know how those hormones are!” When a perimenopausal woman becomes the queen of raging mood swings, we say, “don’t mind her, it’s all those hormones.” But do we actually know how these hormones influence us so much?
Hormones are essential to make sure, different organs of the body work in unison. They also regulate the activity levels of most of the organs, including heart, liver, thyroid, gut and brain. They harmonize, synchronize and mediate the interaction between different systems and body organs.
To give you a complete overview of the biochemical aspects of hormones, we have created this course in which our esteemed faculty has extensively covered topics such as classification of hormones, their mechanism of action, hormones of pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, GIT, adrenals and gonads.

Course Delivery Format
This course is delivered entirely online. It consists of a series of comprehensive lectures by a professor in the subject, appropriately annotated with slides, animations and wherever necessary, interactive content. The delivery offers tremendous flexibility. You may pause a teacher while you refer to your textbooks (not includes) and to take notes. You may also rewind a segment to listen to the teacher again or you may skip a slide or two if you already know that bit. You may bookmark a segment that you wish to return to later, maybe to refresh just before your exams. While the lessons in this course may be arranged in a particular order based on our curriculum, you have the flexibility to take them in order of your preference based on your personalized learning needs.
Benefits
While this course is to help you learn the subject from an online faculty, it may help you in several ways even if you are already enrolled in some medical, dental or paramedical school. Many of our students felt that the format in which this course is delivered has helped them to cope up against the fast paced lectures in actual class – it’s like having a TV remote in class to self-pace your teacher. Animations help understand concepts better by making concepts easy to understand… and difficult to forget.
