The endocrine system produces hormones that function to control and regulate many different body processes. The endocrine system coordinates with the nervous system to control the functions of the other organ systems. Cells of the endocrine system produce molecular signals called hormones. These cells may compose endocrine glands, may be tissues or may be located in organs or tissues that have functions in addition to hormone production. Hormones circulate throughout the body and stimulate a response in cells that have receptors able to bind with them. The changes brought about in the receiving cells affect the functioning of the organ system to which they belong. Many of the hormones are secreted in response to signals from the nervous system, thus the two systems act in concert to effect changes in the body.

Endocrinology - Endocrine system regulation via hormones, 2019
The endocrine system is one of the systems of the human body responsible for the control, communication and coordination of endocrinological processes in the body. As a rule, hormonal activity rarely comes from the glands themselves. Their activity affects the brain the most, which, through its pathways, is the so-called regulates the work and secretion of hormones through neurotransmitters and feedback pathways. Hormones regulate metabolism, breathing, growth, reproduction, sensory perception, movement, and cells communicate with each other using them. These are chemical substances that are synthesized and secreted directly into the bloodstream by endocrine glands without ducts in small quantities and transported to a distant target organ where they regulate the speed of specific biochemical processes. Hormonal imbalance is the main reason for a wide range of health conditions. The normal function of the endocrine system is important for growth and development, proper metabolism, sexual function, fertility and pregnancy.
