Introduction :
Introduction The Endocrine system regulates metabolism; maintains salt, water and nutrient balance in the blood; controls the body’s response to stress and regulates growth development and reproduction
The foundations of the endocrine system are the hormones and glands.
As the body's chemical messengers, hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another.
Each one affects only the cells that are genetically programmed to receive and respond to its message. Hormone levels can be influenced by stress, infection, and changes in the balance of fluid and minerals in blood
