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.

How can I become a model and how can I find talent anginces and jobs
Ahat [919]
You know you don’t have to go to school just to be a model. It all starts with applying agencies that would want to have you as part of their community, my advice to you is to smile, be extravagant when it comes to posing, no one likes a model being lousy. It also comes in mind that modeling brands has to do with being presentable to the public, try to make yourself captivating and be sure to not be shy whenever people are taking pictures of you. I don’t know if my words would help but if you’re applying to become a model, I hope everything will be successful throughout your life and also enjoy your day!
