The following statements describe the endocrine system:

1. It helps regulate mood- The endocrine system regulates the release of hormones and

neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and cortisol in human bodies. These hormones and

neurotransmitters secreted by the endocrine system in turn affect our mood by

increasing or decreasing levels of happiness, rewarding seeking behavior, stress, etc. 

2. It helps regulate reproductive processes- The endocrine system consists of reproductive glands in males and females. In females, the hormones estrogen and progesterone secreted by reproductive glands (ovaries) regulate menstrual cycles, egg fertilization and reproduction. Whereas, in males, reproductive glands (testes) regulate sex hormones, such as testosterone, sexual arousal and sperm count. 

3. It helps regulate growth and development- The hormone known as human growth hormone (HGH) is released by the endocrine system. HGH is responsible for growth, an individual's height and development of the physical body, especially during childhood and up to early adulthood. HGH is also responsible for cell reproduction and regeneration in humans. 

4. It secretes hormones into the bloodstream- The endocrine system functions primarily by releasing hormones in the bloodstream. The endocrine system consists of various glands around the body, that have their own respective functions. Each of these glands secrete different hormones in the bloodstream. The different glands that comprise the endocrine system in human bodies include: the hypothalamus (in the brain), pituitary glands, thyroid gland, parathyroids, adrenal glands, reproductive glands and pancreas.

• A Health Problem in my community is an increase of people having obesity. This is a problem because it effects people’s health in a negative way. It’s a health epidemic and is just getting worse by the increase of fast food, more advanced technology, and a busy, fast paced lifestyle.

•risk factors for obesity includes diet, activity level, genetics/ environment, and health and mental health. Poor diet and low activity is some of the main causes of obesity. Although this might be, improving them is the quickest and overall easiest way to avoid obesity. Genetics can also have an impact. Although people are not born obese, growing up in a household of other parents/siblings/guardians that are obese can increase someone’s chances of gaining weight. Health and mental health can also effect health and make you have an increase of obesity and gaining weight. Many health conditions, such as thyroid issues (many known as hypothryoidism) can effect the metabolism and make it difficult to lose weight. A bad mental health Can also lead to weight gain. Mental health issues such as eating disorders, depression, and others can effect eating habits and cause you to eat too much. Risk factors that people do have if they do have obesity can include but not limited to: many types of cancers, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

• how can the community help fix the problem? Well, one thing that can help is promoting healthy eating and excising. The community could influence people to walk more, by having many walks in support of a disease and adding more bike trails can help give the resources to people who wants to lose weight.

Another way that the community could help is to vote for politicians in the community who stands for better healthcare. Better healthcare can benefit people who need to lose weight by getting support by (both medical and mental) health.
