The body's endocrine system consists of glands throughout the body that produce hormones. These hormones act as chemical messengers in regulating various bodily functions such as growth, metabolism, sexual development, and stress response.
Often referred to as the "master gland," it controls other glands in the endocrine system and regulates hormone production.
This gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, energy levels, and growth.
Apart from its role in digestion, the pancreas also produces insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.
