Endocrine Glands and Hormones

The hormonal system (called the endocrine system in medical terminology) has a range of glands that release different hormones. It's the way in which one part of the body (the gland) tells another part of the body (the target cell) to do something main. The endocrine glands manipulate reproductionmetabolism, growth and many other functions. The endocrine system is a complex network of glands that produce and release hormones—chemical messengers responsible for regulating many vital functions throughout the body. Unlike the nervous system, which uses electrical signals, the endocrine system works through hormones released into the bloodstream, allowing them to act on distant organs and tissues. Major endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Each gland performs a unique role but works in harmony to maintain internal balance, known as homeostasis. Hormones produced by endocrine glands influence nearly every aspect of health, including metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, response to stress, and mood regulation. For example, the thyroid gland controls metabolic rate through thyroid hormones, while the pancreas regulates blood glucose levels through insulin and glucagon.
