Welcome to the Endocrine System

The endocrine system regulates short-term and long-term activities by sending chemicals throughout the body, it controls development, growth, and daily nessecites. In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and body movement are controlled by the nervous system. But even though the nervous system and endocrine system are separate systems, they often work together to help the body function properly.
