Can you please explain me how endocrine system is responsible for the changes in our body???

Our endocrine system secretes various types of chemicals called hormones. These hormones act on different organs and cause changes in them. For example,
Growth hormone secreted by pituitary gland helps in growth of the body.
Testosterone released by testes in males help to develop secondary sexual characters in them like enlargement of penis, growth of beard, muscles etc.
Oestrogen secreted by ovaries in females help in development of secondary sexual characters in them like enlargement of breasts, growth of pubic hair etc.


You will study about this in detail in your higher classes.
