=Endocrine System=

Overview
The endocrine system, which is also the part of the nervous system, has specialized organs named glands. And the chemicals that glands release called hormones to change cell’s activities. These glands release a chemical called hormone into the bloodstream. The hormone will travel in the bloodstream until it matches up with a cell receptor (Nowicky) [Andy Tran].

Releasing hormones stimulate other glands to produce hormones. It allow glands to communicate with one another and it is used in temp

Major Structures
There are many //endocrine glands// located throughout the body that secrete hormones//. Hormones// travel to the cells matching receptors through bloodstreams in body. ( Nowicky) [Luan]
 * The hypothalamus is a gland found in the brain. It has a structure of both nervous and endocrine
 * The pituitary gland is found below the hypothalamus in the brain. It controls growth and water levels in blood and produces releasing hormones sent throughout the body

Hypoythalamus is part of both Nervous and Endocrine system. More information on the hypothalamus. CLICK HERE .Bao Vu
To regulate the homeostasis, first the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate pituitary gland and then the pituitary produces hormones to stimulate the thyroid. Finally, the thyroid releases hormones to tell cells to satisfy the body’s needs until those needs are met (Nowicky) [Bao].
