The Endocrine Orchestra
The
endocrine system is composed of various tissues and organs found
throughout the body that secrete hormones that, in conjunction with the
nervous
system, maintain homeostasis and promote crucial processes such as
growth, metabolism, and reproduction. This system works with the nervous
system to support homeostasis.
