GLANDS
he endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that
regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual
function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.
The endocrine system is made up of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland,
parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries (in females) and
testicles (in males), the Mayo Clinic notes.
The word endocrine derives from the Greek words ," meaning within, and "
meaning to secrete, according to
GLANDS
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Although we rarely think about the endocrine system, it influences almost
every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. The endocrine system
plays a role in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue
function, metabolism, and sexual function and reproductive processes.
In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that
happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and
body movement are controlled by the nervous system. But even though
the nervous system and endocrine system are separate systems, they
often work together to help the body function properly.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The foundations of the endocrine system are the hormones and glands. As
the body's chemical messengers, hormones transfer information and
instructions from one set of cells to another. Many different hormones
move through the bloodstream, but each type of hormone is designed
to affect only certain cells.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
A gland is a group of cells that produces and secretes, or gives off,
chemicals. A gland selects and removes materials from the blood,
processes them, and secretes the finished chemical product for use
somewhere in the body.
Some types of glands release their secretions in specific areas. For
instance, exocrine (pronounced: EK-suh-krin) glands, such as the sweat
and salivary glands, release secretions in the skin or inside the mouth.
Endocrine glands, on the other hand, release more than 20 major
hormones directly into the bloodstream where they can be transported
to cells in other parts of the body.
