By: Taylor Aubin Organs and tissues that make up the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, suprarenal glands, pineal gland, parathyroid glands, heart, kidneys, adipose tissue, digestive tract, pancreas, and gonads. The effects of the endocrine system are vast and impact almost every organ and cell of the body. This system produces hormones that help maintain homeostasis through the regulation of metabolism, growth, tissue function, sleep, reproduction, mood and more. This is similar to the nervous system which also regulates the activities of cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the body to preserve homeostasis. As glandular secretory cells, endocrine cells release secretions
