There are three major components of the endocrine system. The glands which are specialized cell clusters of organs. The hormones which are chemical messengers secreted by the glands in response to stimulation, and they transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another. The receptors are gateways or doorways for the hormone trigger cell responses.
:
The glands of the endocrine system, and the hormones they release influence almost every cell, organ, function in the body. The endocrine system consists of the para thyroid gland, the pancreas, the adrenals, the thyroid, the hypothalamus, the heart, the kidneys, the stomach, the intestines, the ovaries, the s*x glands, and the te**es.
:
The adrenal glands, produce the steroid, hormones that influence fats, proteins carbohydrates and other hormones, and this influences our bodies stress level. The thyroid produces a hormone that affects the bodies, metabolism, growth, heart rate and general growth. Hormones act throughout the body to promote proteins synthesis, essential for normal health and growth.
:
Attached to the hypothalamus is the pituitary that controls many other glands. The pituitary regulates some of the endocrine glands and their hormones. The nervous system regulates, some hormones that affect emotion such as stress. Moods and emotions are run by the endocrine system.
:
Hormones are chemical messengers and all organs produce hormones as a part of the endocrine system. The body communicates in two ways with hormones, the chemical messengers in the blood and the nervous system through electrical impulses. These two ways of communication work together. The endocrine system regulates and balances all the other systems. Each person is a different entity, so what works for one may be totally different for the other.
