The endocrine system is a critical organ system of the body that is concerned with the secretion of hormones, a type of chemical messengers that aid in controlling reproductive, digestive, cardiovascular, and metabolical functions of the body. Hormones are secreted directly into the bloodstream and are usually transported to the target organ/cell/tissue that is directed at a distant region from its origin of secretion. Anomalies in the function of an endocrine organ/gland due to factors like damage or injury, autoimmune response, the effect of the action of another tropic gland, or underlying disease or disorder can hamper the function of hormone secretion as well as the effectiveness of the hormone function.
