What is Overview of the Endocrine System about?
The endocrine system consists of glands and tissues that secrete hormones, which are chemical signals that influence metabolism, growth, development, and homeostasis. The main endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into tissue fluid, while exocrine glands secrete products through ducts. Hormones include peptide and steroid hormones and are controlled by ion concentrations, other hormones, and the nervous system. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland regulate other endocrine glands to maintain homeostasis
