To run the functions of all the organs smoothly, communication and regulation of the
organs are essential. The Endocrine System does the same.
It acts as a messenger. There are various glands under the Endocrine system. Glands
produce and release different hormones into the circulatory
system to regulate the targeted organ. The Endocrine System plays a key role in controlling
and coordinating the body’s metabolism, energy level,
reproduction, growth and development, response to injury as well as stress, and mood. The
Endocrine system consists of the hypothalamus, pineal gland,
pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, thymus, adrenal glands, and pancreas.
