The endocrine system comprises several major hormone-receiving and secreting glands. While hormones are primarily produced through these glands, the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas and other organs can make and distribute hormones. The endocrine system is essential in keeping the body balanced and supporting proper growth and development. Endocrine problems develop if too much or too little of one or more hormones is present in the body, which can be harmful.
