What do you think the possible consequences might be if your endocrine system stopped working correctly?

Answer:

For its normal functioning, the body must take good care to release the hormones in the right amounts and at the right time. If there is a problem with the functioning of the endocrine system or some gland, the person cannot grow or function as they should.

Diabetes is a common problem of the endocrine system. The pancreas does not produce enough insulin for diabetes, and a person with diabetes needs to take the insulin hormone daily to regulate blood glucose. If he does not take insulin, the patient may fall into a diabetic coma, which can lead to death.

Endocrinological dysfunction of the pituitary gland by not producing enough growth hormone can cause the baby to not grow as fast as expected.

Thyroid dysfunction can cause our metabolism to accelerate or slow down, that is, the "rate" of burning energy, which can lead to weight loss or weight gain and consequent problems with the functioning of other body systems.

Explanation:

Without their endocrine glands and the hormones they release, your cells would not know when to do important work. For example, bones would not receive the message that it was time to grow, the body would not know that it was time to start puberty, or for physical changes that "turn" children into adults. We have various endocrine glands of different sizes and shapes that are found in different parts of the body, which are the epiphysis, pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus or thorax, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and semen or testes. The hormones they release into the bloodstream help regulate reproduction, metabolism, sleep, blood pressure, heart rate, etc.

Which resource do you think is the most credible? Write 2-3 complete sentences.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

I think that Reliable website, such as CDC.gov could give you importaint information about what you need to know about anything in the government and what the government. But at the same time, it could also be bad because they could bias and you want a nonbias website so that you can get information not just from one side.

But another one could be hospitals because you could ask the workers that work there what they think about your questions and get a couple peoples answers to get enough research.
