Describe the function of different hormone types?
Different hormones are used in different processes but they all have one thing g in common, and that's that it catalyzes a event.
How it works with other systems
Circulatory- transport system for endocrine information. While the nervous system uses neurons, the endocrine chemicals and hormones must circulate through the body via blood vessels.
Reproductive- The endocrine works really well with the reproductive sys because of the hormones that are present stimulate good growth.
Fun facts!!!!
1. The hypothalamus is the one that makes you feel hunger and thirst. It also helps in body temperature.
2. It aids the immune system by helping the body build resistance to disease.
3. The human behavior is also controlled by the endocrine system when it affects the nervous system.
4. We must be thankful to the pineal gland for our sweet sleep. It secretes melatonin which regulates our sleep.
5. There are 30 hormones in the human body.
Diseases
The endocrine Sys plays a vital role in whether or not you develop diabetes, thyroid disease, growth disorders, sexual dysfunction, and a host of other hormone-related disorders.
