Main Job- produce and secrete hormones
-hormones do this
1- regulates growth and development
2- regulates storage of energy
3- maintains homeostasis
4- responds to stimuli
-glands make the hormones
*each hormone is secreted by a cell into the bloodstream
*Target cells have receptors to catch them
-Feedback Mechanisms
* Body detects too much or too little of breathing
*Signal glands to produce... Less or more hormone
-The endocrine system helps maintain homeostasis through feedback mechanism.
-Blood Glucose levels are controlled by an feedback mechanism
- When there is a lot of glucose in the blood causes the production of insulin,
when there is not enough glucose in the, glucagon(a hormone that causes the liver to release glucose into the blood)
is produced
-People with diabetes cannot convert glucose into glycogen because they can't produce insulin.
