The endocrine system is one of the most important systems Without it you would be an emotional‚ non-making baby‚ and out of your mind human. The endocrine system helps with maintaining homeostasis by regulation of the activity cells. The endocrine system is basically hormones and those hormones are released into the blood of the body controlled by stimulus. The endocrine system does not and can’t work alone.

The field of study dealing with the endocrine system and its disorders is endocrinology‚ a branch of internal medicine. The endocrine system is an umbrella term used to describe the complexity of different types of endocrine glands which are responsible to help the body carry out many of its functions. This system regulates our mood‚ growth‚ metabolism‚ tissue development‚ sexual functions and reproductive process. The endocrine system is made of a series of glands that produce chemicals

CHEMICAL SIGNALS MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS Endocrine System: a system of glands that secrete hormones to regulate body function Hormones: chemical messengers or regulators • they are released by cells in one part of the body and affect cells in other parts of the body to speed up or slow down processes. Endocrine Hormones – are produced in glands and secreted directly into the blood and distributed by the circulatory system.

The foundations of the Endocrine System consist of hormones and glands. These glands are ductless and their secretions are sent through the bloodstream. Endocrine glands also control bodily metabolic activity. The major glands that make up the human endocrine system are the hypothalamus‚ pituitary‚ thyroid‚ parathyroids‚ adrenals‚ pineal body‚ the pancreas‚ and the reproductive glands‚ which include the ovaries and testes. The endocrine system has three basic functions‚ regulate metabolic functions
