What is the endocrine system?

The endocrine system is an important regulatory system in the human body. It is composed of endocrine glands, endocrine tissues and endocrine cells. The

endocrine system regulates the physiological processes of metabolism, growth, development and reproduction by secreting various hormones, so that various components of the internal environment remain relatively stable. For example, insulin regulates blood sugar levels, thyroid hormones regulate basal metabolic rates, etc. Growth hormones promote the growth of bones, muscles and other tissues, and sex hormones play an important role in the development and maintenance of sexual characteristics.

once the endocrine system is disturbed, it may lead to the occurrence of various diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid diseases, gonad diseases, etc., which require timely diagnosis and treatment.
