Liono4ka [1.6K]
The endocrine system is the system that comprises all the glands in the body, from the hypothalamus pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, testes and ovaries. These organ glands mentioned are just the few major glands in the body. Moreover, take note of the hypothalamus which is responsible for many functions such as hunger, thirst and other simple urges, that also regulates the pituitary gland. How does your endocrine conserve body water? By controlling and regulating your water intake and outtake, ensuring the amount of electrolytes is efficient. Your hypothalamus is responsible for water balance hence, it participates in one of the many functions such as regulating the sweat glands excretion of sweat which is by the process of osmosis promoting skin-temperature homeostasis.
