The endocrine system is one of the systems of the human body responsible for the control, communication and coordination of endocrinological processes in the body. As a rule, hormonal activity rarely comes from the glands themselves. Their activity affects the brain the most, which, through its pathways, is the so-called regulates the work and secretion of hormones through neurotransmitters and feedback pathways. Hormones regulate metabolism, breathing, growth, reproduction, sensory perception, movement, and cells communicate with each other using them. These are chemical substances that are synthesized and secreted directly into the bloodstream by endocrine glands without ducts in small quantities and transported to a distant target organ where they regulate the speed of specific biochemical processes. Hormonal imbalance is the main reason for a wide range of health conditions. The normal function of the endocrine system is important for growth and development, proper metabolism, sexual function, fertility and pregnancy.
