The endocrine gland refers to cells located in the hypothalamus of the brain. They produce and secrete hormones that play an important role not only in the regulation of physiological processes in the human body, but also some other biological reactions associated with hormone levels, for example, growth, metabolism, thermoregulation, etc.
There are a large number of different endocrine glands, but endocrine cells are the main and most common throughout the body. These cells produce a variety of hormones called incretors, also called releasing hormones or “pure” hormones. Also, these glands have a two-way connection through a network of neurons with the pituitary gland, the main gland that regulates their functions.
Important functions of endocrine cells: - Regulation of appetite; - Participation in the development and maintenance of basic body systems, such as the nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular systems; - Regulation of metabolism; - Support of hemostasis in the blood and other blood clotting processes; - Formation of the state of sleep and wakefulness. The secretions of the endocrine gland regulate the level of metabolism in the body, it enhances or suppresses the production of growth hormone, and affects water and fat metabolism. Promotes health, optimizes libido and muscle growth in humans. Intensively affects the function of hematopoiesis and the hormone of the gastrointestinal tract. According to medical research, dysfunction of the inductor gland negatively affects the functioning of the body as a whole. The physical condition of a person suffers especially. Hormone deficiency diseases caused by malfunctions of the hypothalamus pose a serious threat to human health. The gland is responsible for the production of important hormones, normalization and stabilization
