A

The endocrine [endo = inside or within, crine = to secrete] system is an important control mechanism for the body. It works closely with the nervous system to stimulate, regulate, and coordinate activities to maintain homeostasis. Maintaining this stable system allows the body to function most efficiently. Endocrine glands produce and secrete hormones, which are chemical
messengers for the body.
