What system is the hormones in?
The endocrine system refers to the collection of glands [of an organism] that secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs. Endocrine glands make chemicals called hormones and pass them straight into the bloodstream. Hormones can be thought of as chemical messages.
From the bloodstream, the hormones communicate with the body by heading towards their target cell to bring about a particular change or effect to that cell. The hormone can also create changes in the cells of surrounding tissues. The endocrine system works with the nervous system and the immune system to help the body cope with different events and stresses and mood swings- [or changes in a prevailing attitude]
Some of the roles of the endocrine system include:
- Growth
- Repair
- Sexual reproduction
- Digestion
- Homeostasis (constant internal balance).
The main glands and organs of the endocrine system include:
- Pituitary gland – is inside the brain. It oversees the other glands and keeps hormone levels in check.
- Thyroid gland – sits in the neck at the front of the windpipe. It releases thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) which is required for metabolism.
- Parathyroid gland – there are usually four parathyroid glands which lie alongside the thyroid gland. The parathyroid gland is involved in calcium, phosphate and vitamin D regulation.
- Adrenal glands – there are two adrenal glands which sit on top of each kidney. They make a number of different hormones. The outside part of the gland (adrenal cortex) makes cortisol, aldosterone and sex hormones. The centre of the adrenal gland (adrenal medulla) makes adrenaline. Adrenaline is an example of a hormone that is under the control of the nervous system.
- Pancreas – an organ of digestion which is inside the abdomen. It makes insulin, which controls the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. It also makes other hormones such as glucagon and somatostatin.
- Ovaries – are inside the female pelvis. They make female sex hormones like estrogen.

Other endocrine organs include
Adipose tissue (fat tissue) – is recognized to be metabolically important. It releases hormones such as leptin, which affect appetite, and is also a site of estrogen production. Insulin also acts on adipose tissue.
- Kidneys – produce erythropoietin (EPO) which stimulates red blood cell production, produce renin which is needed for blood pressure regulation and produce the active form of Vitamin D (1–25 dihydroxyvitamin D3)
- Gut – an increasing number of hormones in the gut are being researched and being understood to affect metabolism and appetite. Included are glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP–1), ghrelin which stimulates appetite, and somatostatin.
