Introduction: The endocrine system includes the cells, tissue, and organs that are collectively called as endocrine glands, which secrete a chemical substance called hormone. This chemical substance is secreted into the interstitial fluid and is carried through the bloodstream to the target organ or tissue that is present at a distant site. By binding to its receptor, these substances make changes in the target tissue.
