Anatomy Rap

The other day we were asked to write a rap/poem/song/story about the Endocrine System. So Anne and I wrote a rap! Actually, it's a parody of Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us"... yep, so here it is :p

"Endocrine System"

Endocrinology, listen up!

Where it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn’t.

Learning ‘bout a system that’s controlling all the hormones

Like the Pituitary, Pineal, Parathyroid and others

They’re up! Brain base, respectively, center of the brain, right around the throat

Somewhere above the thymus and thyroid. Endocrine, yep, yep, we’re not androids

Yup. Throat, location, this here is our thyroid, close above the thymus,

And they’re all near the head

Going down, I shed my skin and see my adrenals on my kidneys, and then, for the Women there’s the ovaries

And yet I’m not done.

Pituitary glands control all else,

The pineal glands always help you to sleep really well.

Pancreas, regulates sugar in the body with insulin

Parathyroid controls the growth of the bones,

The thymus creates T-cells so disease leaves you alone

Adrenals pump the adrenaline, rapid heart and breathing

Got ducts? They’re the E-X-O-C-R-I-N-E glands,

Endocrine go straight to the bloodstream, can they be ductless? Yes they can.

Ovaries and testes are located downstairs,

They control reproduction and they work together as a pair

Ducts

Not like duck duck goose,

The kind with glands and duct duct juice

Spread it across the body

Ducts out here,

Now there’s the Exocrine,

Pumpin’ substance to the outside,

And the Endocrine, which keeps it all inside

Wait ‘till we go back, this is the body

These are the glands and all of their functions

So we put them in a song it’s the endocrine system

It’s the endocrine system

Wait ‘till we go back, this is the body

These are the glands and all of their functions

So we put them in a song it’s the endocrine system

It’s the endocrine system
