In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and body movement are controlled by the nervous system. But even though the nervous system and endocrine system are separate systems, they often work together to help the body function properly.

The endocrine system influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. The endocrine system plays a role in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and sexual function and reproductive processes.

Numerous problems can occur in the endocrine system. These can be considered as excessive or deficient hormone production. Endocrine organs are also prone to tumours which can over produce hormones. Some problems of the endocrine system include:
Menstrution abnormalities
Diabetes
Thyroid problems
Parathryroid problems
Nuero-endocrine tumours

The term “hormone” was actually made up about a century ago. This is because scientists finally figured out what the Ancient Chinese already knew. That there was some form of central communication between the different organs of the body. By using the chemicals, in 1902, it was found that the brain could trigger these chemicals and hormones were discovered.

-Diabetes, the most common disease of the endocrine system, can be linked to obesity, diet and genes.
- Tumors including benign and cancerous — can also disrupt the functions of the endocrine system

-Although the hormones circulate throughout the body, each type of hormone is targeted toward certain organs and tissues.
-The endocrine system gets some help from organs such as the kidney, liver, heart and gonads, which have secondary endocrine functions. EXAMPLE-
The kidney secretes hormones such as erythropoietin and renin
