MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine glands make chemicals called hormones and pass them straight into the bloodstream. Hormones can be thought of as chemical messages. From the blood stream, the hormones communicate with the body by heading towards their target cell to bring about a particular change or effect to that cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “endocrine” implies that in response to specific stimuli, the products of those glands are released into the bloodstream. The hormones then are carried via the blood to their target cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormones regulate internal functions from metabolism and growth to sexual development and the induction of birth. They circulate through the bloodstream, bind to target cells, and adjust the function of whole tissues and organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The glands that make up the endocrine system produce chemical messengers called hormones that travel through the blood to other parts of the body. Important endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, and adrenal glands.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream. These hormones reach target cells which responds to these hormones by stimulating changes in the body.
