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.

The endocrine system plays a role in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, as well as, sexual function and reproductive processes. The endocrine system includes the areas in our body that regulate and produce hormones.Hormones act out as messengers that allow our cells to communicate and produce a coordinated effect.
