The endocrine system is basically a whole network of glands that produce hormones (the body's chemical messengers), which serve to control the activities of your organs and cells (for instance, metabolism, bodily growth).

<u>Examples of glands in the endocrine system are</u>:
  - the pituitary gland (located in the brain, aka "master gland" since it control many other glands)

  - adrenal glands (located above kidneys)

                                                -------------------
* the hypothalamus structure in the brain is also a VERY important part of the endocrine system since it serves to connect the nervous system to the endocrine system (located under the thalamus in the brain)
