Explore how the endocrine system interacts with various body systems such as integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Discover the impact of endocrine hormones on different organs and functions.

Endocrine Affects on Other Body Systems By: Derek and Joe
Integumentary • Protects superficial endocrine organs • Epidermis synthesizes cholecalciferol (See Key Terms) • Sex hormones stimulate sebacous gland, influence hair growth, fat distrurbution, sweat gland, and stimulates mammary glands
Skeletal • Protects endocrine organs, mostly in brian, chest, and pelvic cavity • Skeletal growth is stimulated by serveral endocrine hormones • Sex hormones speed up growth during puberty
Muscular System • Skeletal muscle protect and cover some endocrine organs • Hormones adjust muscle metabolism energy and production, and growth
Nervous • Hypothalamic hormones directly control pituitary and indirectly control secretions of other endocrine organs • Many hormones affect neural metabolism, and the reproductive systems influence and development
Cardiovascular • Distributes hormones through blood stream • Regulates production of RBC, evaluate blood pressure, and heart rate
Lymphatic • Provides defense against infection and with other WBCs, assist in repair after injury • Stimulates lymphocytes and aids in the affect of the immune system
Respiratory • Provides O2 and eliminates CO2 generated by the endocrine system • Stimulates respiratory activity and dilate reparatory passageways
Digestive • Provides nutrients and substrates to endocrine cells • Stimulates constriction of sphincters and depress activity along digestive tract • Coordinate secretory activities along tract
Urinary • Release renin and erythropoietin when local blood pressure declines and produces calcitriol • Adjusts rates of fluid and electrolyte reabsorption in kidneys
Reproductive • Suppresses secretory activities in hypothalamus and pituitary gland • Regulates sexual development and function • Stimulates mammary gland smooth muscle contractions
