The endocrine system is a complex network of glands that produce and secrete hormones, playing a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. It comprises two main types of glands: endocrine and exocrine. Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream, influencing distant organs, while exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts to specific sites. This intricate system is vital for maintaining homeostasis, growth, metabolism, and overall health.
