Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hypothalamus plays a significant role in the endocrine system. The function of the hypothalamus is to maintain your body’s internal balance, which is known as homeostasis. To do this, the hypothalamus helps stimulate or inhibit many of your body’s key processes, including: Heart rate and blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -The function of maintaining homeostasis is provided by the endocrine system. The endocrine system exerts its control through various positive feedback loops. Maintaining homeostasis requires that the body continuously monitors its internal conditions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hypothalamus is the master switchboard. It’s the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. That pea-sized structure hanging below it is the pituitary gland. It’s called the master gland because it regulates the activity of the glands.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endocrine system is made up of glands that make hormones. Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers. They carry information and instructions from one set of cells to another. The endocrine (pronounced: EN-duh-krin) system influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies.
