Animals are more complex than plants. They have many specialised organs that perform specialised functions for their control and coordination. This coordination in animals occurs due to the nervous coordination (Nervous System) and the chemical coordination (Endocrine System). Both these systems act in a coordinated manner in animals, so as to regulate the various body activities.
Endocrine System
The endocrine system comprises of different endocrine glands and hormones. These endocrine glands in animals help in the chemical coordination. They secrete chemicals called hormones. They are special messengers that control many body functions, including hunger, body temperature, mood, growth and development, metabolism, reproductive processes etc. The endocrine glands are ductless and hence are also called as ductless glands.
What are Hormones?
Hormones are chemicals secreted by the endocrine glands directly into the bloodstream. Through the blood, these hormones in animals reach their target organs to stimulate or inhibit specific physiological processes. The site of production of the hormones is different and the site of action is different. Even though there are different hormones in the bloodstream, each will act only on the specific target organ. There are around 20 major hormones in animals that are released by the endocrine glands into the blood, playing a major role in many of the physiological processes happening in the body.
Did you know that the hormone levels in the body can be influenced by several factors? Stress, infection, minerals in the blood etc. influence the hormone levels in animals.
Different Endocrine Glands
Hypothalamus
Pituitary gland
Thyroid gland
Parathyroid gland
Pineal gland
Adrenal gland
Pancreas
Testes
