The endocrine system is composed of glands that produce hormones, which act as chemical messengers controlling various body functions such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Key components include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal glands, and gonads, each releasing specific hormones that regulate bodily processes.
