How Involved is the Endocrine System?

The endocrine system regulates the activity and growth of cells throughout our body. It does this by releasing hormones which travel to specific cells and initiates a reaction. The endocrine system itself is composed of several glands; each contains cells which secrete hormones. When these glands secrete too little or too much of any hormone, a homeostatic imbalance can occur. Use your textbook readings and other reliable resources to research these topics in further detail. Then, in your main post, answer the following Discussion questions:

Identify one endocrine gland (list this in your subject line) and describe its location and function.
List one hormone produced by this gland:
Discuss what causes this hormone to be secreted and its principle actions in the body.
Describe what homeostatic disorder can arise due to hyposecretion or hypersecretion of this hormone, then further explain that disorder (i.e. symptoms, treatments, etc.)
Choose one other system of the body and describe how the chosen system and the endocrine system work together to maintain homeostasis.
