What is Endocrine System Overview and Functions about?
The endocrine system uses hormones to regulate bodily functions through chemical messengers secreted into the bloodstream. The major endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Hormones bind to specific receptor sites and control processes like metabolism, growth, fluid balance, and reproduction. Negative feedback loops regulate hormone production and levels in the bloodstream.
