The endocrine system consists of glands and tissues that secrete hormones. This page will give many examples of the close association between the endocrine and nervous systems. Like the nervous system, the endocrine system is intimately involved in homeostasis.Hormones are chemical signals that affect the behavior of other glands or tissues. Hormones influence the metabolism of cells, the growth and development of body parts, and homeostasis.Endocrine glands are ductless; they secrete their hormones into tissue fluid. From there, they diffuse into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.ormones and Homeostasis. Figure 10.1 The endocrine system. Anatomical location of major endocrine glands in the body. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are in the brain, the thyroid and parathyroids are in the neck, and the adrenal glands and pancreas are in the pelvic cavity.
