| definition |
The endocrine system is the main chemical-regulating system of an organism. Hormones, chemicals made and secreted by endocrine glands or neurosecretory cells, are the main messengers of the endocrine system. Hormones are transported in the blood to all parts of the body and interact with target cells (cells that contain hormone receptors), and they regulate metabolic rate, growth, maturation, and reproduction. |
