Hormones and the Endocrine System

Abstract

In this chapter we will present examples of endocrine regulation. A single hormone in the endocrine system is something like an individual in a family tree. Different sources exist which determine the creation and development of a single person, and his or her progeny are dependent not on him or her alone, but also on many other people.
