ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body. The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism, and reproduction. The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is released.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Endocrine system maintains homeostasis by producing hormones. These hormones are sent to different glands and organs which in turn make changes that help the body remain in balance. For example, the thyroid gland is an endocrine gland that helps to control metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Along with the nervous system, the endocrine system coordinates the body’s functions to maintain homeostasis during rest and exercise. The nervous and endocrine systems also work together to initiate and control movement, and all the physiological processes movement involves.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cells in these glands secrete specific chemicals called hormones. Hormones circulate around the body via the blood stream and modulate cellular or organ functions by binding with receptors in the target cells. Hormones that stimulate and control the activity of other endocrine glands are called trophic hormones.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hormones are responsible for key homeostatic processes including control of blood glucose levels and control of blood pressure. Homeostasis is the regulation of the internal conditions within cells and whole organisms such as temperature, water, and sugar levels.
