The endocrine system is comprised of glands that produce hormones that regulate many functions in the body. Some functions are metabolism, sleep, hunger, growth and development, reproduction, mood, etc. In this assignment, you will give 4 examples of how you used your endocrine system. For each example you need to do the following: 1. State the gland/hormone used

2. Explain one thing that you have done where the gland/hormone from the endocrine system was activated.

Example:

I visit the doctor for my yearly checkup and find that I have grown almost 2 inches in the past year! Now that I think about it, my voice has changed a little bit AND my clothes have started to fit differently. The doctor explained I am going through puberty and the Pituitary Gland regulates growth.
