Only The Facts
The Organs

the pituitary gland [the central control of the endocrine system]
thyroid
thymus
pancreas
adrenal glands
ovaries/testicals
Levels of organisation
Cells
the endocrine cell keeps homosatsis by sending hormones to another cell[for ex the pancreas cell keeps the level of blood sugar by sending insulin in the blood stream]
Tissue
forms the organs in the system which makes up the organs[picture is tissue of a pancreas]
Organ System
This is the endocrine system which is operating by controlling the level of hormones in your body though the blood stream
Homeostasis
The way the endocrine system controls homeostasis is it controls the level of horomones in the body
A Illness or Disease is caused by when a gland makes too much or doesn't make too much hormones it causes a misbalance of what the hormone is trying to control
for ex when a misbalance of insulin happens in a pancreas a amount of blood sugar is either too high or too low giving someone type 1 diabetes[or type 2]
Interaction
the endocrine system interacts with the reproductive system because it has the ovaries and testes which gives reproductive hormones which both systems share the reproductive organs and is connected to the nervous system because the brain is included in the e endocrine system which for both is the control center for the systems
