Endocrine System

====Edocrine maintain homeostasis in the body by releasing chemicals called hormones. The major prosses controlled by hormones are reproduction; growth and developement; mobilization of body defenses against stressors; maintenance of electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of the blood; and regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance(Andy) ==== ====Major organs in Endocrine system ====
 * ====Adrenal gland ====


 * ====Ovary ====


 * ====Pancreas ====


 * ====Pituitary gland ====


 * ====Testes ====


 * ====Thymus gland ====


 * ====Thyroid and parathyroid gland the Endocrine System ====

====Hormones are your body's chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. They work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including: ====


 * ====Growth and development ====


 * ====Metabolism - how your body gets energy from the foods you eat ====


 * ====Sexual function ====


 * ====Reproduction ====


 * ====Mood ====

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Hormones are made in glands. Glands release hormones into the bloodstream and they bind with cells that have specific membrane receptors (Nowicki 896) [Ben]. One of the gland is called the pituitary gland that is located in the brain. It makes and produces hormones that regulate cell growth and concentration of water in the blood (Nowicki 898) [Ben]. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Feedback loops regulate homeostasis that it helps the body to change or deviation to control the value of initiate responses so it can helps the function of the organs or structures back to the normal range (Endocrine system). If a releasing hormone continues to be produced after the body reaches its ideal condition for homeostasis, it started to release the chemical of the body and by the body in sends out messages and that can affects other parts of the body ( Endocrine system) [Chris] <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;">"Endocrine System." // Biology at Clermont College - University of Cincinnati //.

Then the hormones diffuse into nearby capillaries and transported throughout the body in the blood.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> There are 3 conditions are necessary for a hormone to interact with a cell: produced by glands, travel through the circulatory systems and affects cells with matching receptors (Nowicki 896) [Polly] ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The hypothalamus produces and releasing hormones that affect tissues and other endocrine glands. When the nerves system stimulates the hypothalamus, it releases hormones, which travel to the pituitary. Together, the hypothalamus and pituitary regulates many processes.
