THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
This system is a collection of glands, which in turn is what produces hormones that regulate metabolism, development, in other words growth, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood, and other things. To sum it up, the endocrine system’s main function is to be in charge of body processes that happen slowly, processes such as cell growth. |
