Embryology of Endocrine Glands

Explore the embryological development of endocrine glands in this comprehensive 35-minute video lecture. Delve into the formation and differentiation of various endocrine structures, including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. Learn about the origins of these glands from different embryonic tissues and their migration to final anatomical positions. Gain insights into key developmental stages, molecular signaling pathways, and potential congenital anomalies associated with endocrine gland formation. Note the correction regarding the development of parathyroid glands from pharyngeal pouches. Enhance your understanding of endocrine system embryology to better comprehend adult anatomy and pathophysiology.
