Abstract
The endocrine network consisting of organs, glands, and hormones is a very important component of the human body. Although a lot of documentation is available for the study of the hormonal network, there has not been much focus on its modeling. In this work, we try to model the complete hormonal network of the human body. The model we have presented here is a dynamic model. In this, the final hormonal network changes with the number of inputs of the single hormone flow graphs. The single hormone flow graphs are the directed graphs representing single hormone and organs, glands, or hormones affected by it.
