Though reproductive system interactions with other body systems are relatively meager, oneâthat with the endocrine systemâ stands out and will receive the bulk of our attention. Indeed, these two systems are difficult to divorce from one another, particularly since the gonads themselves function as endocrine organs. Most other reproductive system interactions, such as those with the nervous and cardiovascular systems, are mediated through its hormones.
The Structure of the Endocrine System. The endocrine system is composed of the following endocrine glands; thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal.The endocrine glands secrete hormones, which are messenger molecules, into the interstitial fluid in the bloodstream.These released hormones affect nearly every cell, organ, and function of the human body.or example, the endocrine system influences things like cell growth, whilst faster processes, like breathing are controlled by the nervous system. The nervous and endocrine systems are different systems, yet are complementary systems and work together to help the body function properly.
