The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. These hormones regulate the body's growth, metabolism and sexual development and function. Take up the third quiz below on the endocrine system and test yourself before the exam.
