The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that secrete chemical "instant messengers" called hormones that circulate within the body via the bloodstream to affect distant cells within specific organs. Endocrine glands secrete their products immediately into the blood or interstitial fluid‚ without storage of the chemical. Hormones act as "messengers‚" and are carried by the bloodstream to different cells in the body‚ which interpret these messages and act on them. Typical endocrine

hormone levels. Hormones are produced by the endocrine system as regulators of biological function in target organs. Because hormones play a critical role in early development‚ toxicological effects on the endocrine system often have an impact on the reproductive system. The term endocrine disruptor is used to describe chemicals that can mimic hormones and may either enhance or counteract their effects. It has been suggested that these hormone changes can‚ in turn‚ lead to a variety of health problems

The endocrine system refers to the different organs of the body that are responsible for secreting hormones that affect bodily processes. Better known for their ability to process waste‚ the kidneys are responsible for the secretion of four different hormones: rennin‚ calcitriol‚ erythropoietin and thrombopoietin These chemicals released by the kidneys affect a wide range of bodily processes dealing with the circulatory and skeletal systems.
