Explanation:

The Endocrine System Essentials

The endocrine system is made up of a network of glands.

These glands secrete hormones to regulate many bodily functions, including growth and metabolism.

Endocrine diseases are common and usually occur when glands produce an incorrect amount of hormones.

Simply put, the endocrine system is a network of glands that secrete chemicals called hormones to help your body function properly. Hormones are chemical signals that coordinate a range of bodily functions.

The endocrine system works to regulate certain internal processes. (Note: endocrine shouldn’t be confused with exocrine. Exocrine glands, such as sweat and salivary glands, secrete externally and internally via ducts. Endocrine glands secrete hormones internally, using the bloodstream.)

The endocrine system helps control the following processes and systems:

Growth and development

Homeostasis (the internal balance of body systems)

Metabolism (body energy levels)

Reproduction

Response to stimuli (stress and/or injury)

The Endocrine Network

The endocrine system completes these tasks through its network of glands, which are small but highly important organs that produce, store, and secrete hormones.

The glands of the endocrine system are:

Hypothalamus

Pineal Gland

Pituitary Gland

Thyroid

Parathyroid

Thymus

Adrenal

Pancreas

Ovaries

Testes

These glands produce different types of hormones that evoke a specific response in other cells, tissues, and/or organs located throughout the body. The hormones reach these faraway targets using the blood stream. Like the nervous system, the endocrine system is one of your body’s main communicators. But instead of using nerves to transmit information, the endocrine system uses blood vessels to deliver hormones to cells.
