Endocrine System Is a group of specialized organs and body tissues that produce‚ store‚ and secrete chemical substances known as hormones. As the body’s chemical messengers‚ hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another. Because of the hormones they produce‚ endocrine organs have a great deal of influence over the body. Among their many jobs are regulating the body’s growth and development‚ controlling the function of various tissues‚ supporting pregnancy
