2. Endocrine System Made of Glands Which are Organs That make Hormones That control Activities of the body

3. Functions of the Endocrine System Two systems regulate activity: the nervous system and the endocrine system Two systems regulate activity: the nervous system and the endocrine system The endocrine system controls daily activity and long term changes such as development The endocrine system controls daily activity and long term changes such as development

4. What are glands? Glands release chemicals into the blood stream. Glands release chemicals into the blood stream. (They are NOT like salivary or sweat glands, that deliver their chemicals through tubes) (They are NOT like salivary or sweat glands, that deliver their chemicals through tubes)

7. What are hormones? Hormones are chemical messengers made by endocrine glands. Hormones are chemical messengers made by endocrine glands. Hormones turn on, turn off, speed up or slow down activities of a specific organ or tissue. Hormones act on target cells like a lock and key.

9. What is the endocrine system? The endocrine system is a complex group of glands. Glands are organs that make hormones. Hormones are substances that help to control activities in your body. Different types of hormones control reproduction, metabolism (food burning and waste elimination), and growth and development.
