what is the endocrin system?

Answer 1

The endocrine system is the collection of organs and tissues that make hormones. The hormones themselves control many things throughout your body, from development to emotional states to simple digestion. As chemicals which circulate though your blood, they are considered to be 'fast' signals, though not as fast as nerve signals and the like. Hormones are also never stored in your body... just made quickly as they're needed and used quickly.

Answer 2

Although we rarely think about them, the glands of the endocrine system and the hormones they release influence almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism, as well as 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 monitored 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.

The endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete chemical messages we call hormones. These signals are passed through the blood to arrive at a target organ, which has cells possessing the appropriate receptor. Exocrine glands (not part of the endocrine system) secrete products that are passed outside the body. Sweat glands, salivary glands, and digestive glands are examples of exocrine glands.
