The endocrine system plays an important role in the growth and development of the body with the help of hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers secrete by glands to maintain the growth and sexual maturity of the organisms. It also helps to regulate everything from sleep to the beating of the heart.
Endocrine glands secrete hormones that pass directly into the bloodstream. Through the bloodstream, hormones communicate with the body. From blood, hormones pass to the target and cells change their activities according to the signaling. Signal transmission in the endocrine system is slow but long-lasting.
