Endocrine System Worksheet

The endocrine system regulates hormones that are released into the bloodstream to influence distant target organs and tissues. Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by endocrine glands and affect things like metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sleep, and mood. The negative feedback mechanism allows the body to maintain homeostasis by reducing or increasing hormone production and release in response to changes in conditions.
