GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine glands, situated at various sites around the body, and in specialised areas of the brain. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glands that make up the endocrine system produce chemical messengers called hormones that travel through the blood to other parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocrine glands secrete hormones straight into the bloodstream. Hormones help to control many body functions, such as growth, repair and reproduction. The endocrine system involves many organ systems and hormones, many of which are still being investigated and understood.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hormones created and released by the glands in your body’s endocrine system control nearly all the processes in your body. These chemicals help coordinate your body’s functions, from metabolism to growth and development, emotions, mood, sexual function and even sleep.
