What is endocrine system?

  • The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs that secretes its hormone (chemical messenger) directly into the blood stream.
  • The hormones then reaches its target cells (on which it has to act) through blood stream.
  • The target cells may or may not be close to the hormone producing glands.
  • Endocrine and nervous system both work together to initiate or control the movement and physiological function.
  • The homeostasis of a body is maintain through negative feedback mechanism (activation of one component does not activate the other).

For example: when blood sugar level in our body increases, pancreas secrete insulin to lower it.

  • The target cell have a receptor which is specific for a particular hormone.

Hence, the correct options are: 1- True, 2- False, 3- True, 4-B. Hormone, 5- D. All of the above, 6- True and 7- B. target cells.
