CHAPTER 1 3 ENDOCRINE SYSTEM OVERVIEW The endocrine system, like the nervous system, controls body activities to maintain a relatively constant environment. The methods used by these two systems are different. The nervous system responds quickly to a perceived change; and the endocrine system, using chemical messengers, responds more slowly but its effects are longer lasting. After studying this chapter, you will be able to describe the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands and locate the various glands and the hormones they secrete (Leaming Outcomes 1, 8-10). You will have mastered information about how hormones function and be able to list the important functions ofvarious hormones, how hormones are classified, how steroid and nonsteroid honnones affect target cells, and how hormone secretion is controlled so that homeostasis is maintained (Learning Outcomes 2-7). Finally, you will understand stress and its effects, the general stress response, and the impact of aging on the endocrine system (Leaming Outcomes 11-13). A knowledge ofthe function ofthe endocrine system is basic to the understanding ofhow metabolic processes are regulated to meet the changing needs ofthe body.
