An endocrine system tutorial from Pearson that is pretty comprehensive:

A tutorial on the exocrine glands:

Take an online quiz or two on the endocrine system:

Let's not forget Marian Diamond at UC Berkeley. This link contains 3 0r 4 lectures on the endocrine system. It starts with #36, but it seems to be in the middle of a lecture. I think that the end of #35 may contain the missing info. Search for it on Youtube and leave a comment if you find the missing piece.

Several links to anatomy sites:
This site is compliments of McGraw Hill and contains some great interactive tutorials as well as quizzes and flashcards. Terrific resource!
