Question

outline the function of the endocrine system within the body. How does it bring about changes within the body? 

Answer 1

Endocrine systems works through hormonal secretion, different endocrine glands secrete different kind of hormones that are disseminated in the boy by blood circulation. Some hormones are general and function in multiple organs, tissues and cell types other are specific for target organs/tissues. This is the basic principle, it has variations based on gland type, age and many other factors.

 

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The endocrine system is a system of glands that secretes hormones that affect the body at the cellular level. The hypothalamus in the brain send signals to the pituitary gland that is underneath the brain. The pituitary then sends hormones into the bloodstream, and the hormones from the pituitary either affect the body or causes other glands to secrete their hormones, which then affect the body. For example, the pituitary gland can secrete growth hormone, which goes off and affects the body directly, or it can secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone, which affects the adrenal glands, and those glands secrete their own hormones. Those hormones affect the body at a cellular level.
