Chapter 25, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To draw:
The two organ systems in the given concept map and explain the mechanism by which hormones released from the gland affect the organ system to maintain homeostasis.
Introduction:
The endocrine system is a part of the body’s communication network. Hormones are the communication molecules of the endocrine system. This system consists of two main components: glands and hormones. An endocrine gland is composed of cells that synthesize and release hormones into the bloodstream. A hormone is a biochemical molecule that runs in the bloodstream and regulates the functions of different cells.
