Answer 1

Answer:

Most of its components are anatomically connected, like most other systems of the body.

Explanation:

The endocrine system takes care of the bodily processes that take place slowly. The nervous system and the endocrine system are independent systems, although they usually work together to help the body function properly.

The endocrine system is made up of glands that make hormones.

The main glands that make up the human endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pineal gland, and reproductive glands, including the ovaries and testes. The pancreas is also part of this system and they are distributed throughout the body, connecting only through the circulatory system.
