can any one help me with my homework heres the question the primary purpose of the endocrine system is to....?

In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and body movement are monitored by the nervous system. But even though the nervous system and endocrine system are separate systems, they often work together to help the body function properly

Hormonal activity is usually a negative feed back mechanism. You would think exercise would feed forward, though, as the rate would keep increasing. Not my area, though, so a functional biologist is needed here.

Don't really  know what u mean? Like, the lymph system is related to the circulatory system, in that the lymph helps filter pathogens and the circulatoy helps move lymph cells and supplys oxygen to them. Yet, all the systems are related in one fastion or another. I would pick the endocrine system- hormones signals- and link it to any system you like, b/c that really is linked to everything

The basic functions of blood are: carry oxygen and nutrients to cells; remove waste from tissues; maintain body temperature by carrying heat to all parts; allow communication between organs (e.g. hormone and neurotransmitter transport)

Diabetes is itself a derangement of the endocrine system. In type 1, a major endocrine system has completely failed. There is no insulin as a result of damage to the beta cells in charge of producing it. \n\nType 2 is more complicated. It is characteristically an inability of many body cells (about 2/3) to use insulin even if it's present. Some type 2s go on to have more insulin than normal in an attempt to get blood glucose levels down, or to beta cell death / exhaustion and reduced or no insulin. In any case, this is also a derangement of the endocrine system, also involving insulin.\n\nInsulin is tremendously important and is so important that it has been conserved across large evolutionary distance and time. The nematode worm, c elegans, uses insulin in much the same way and for the same purposes, that we do. So do fish. Beef insulin is exactly the same hormone as human insulin, except that it differs in two amino acids, and pork insulin is even closer, only one different amino acid. \n\nAs such, it's a great signal to rely on for controlling many things. If there's biochemical energy available, then protein synthesis will be possible, energetically. So cells use insulin levels to control amino acid uptake from blood stores. And similarly for electrolyte balances across cell membranes. And similarly for mobilization (or storage) of excess calories in the form of fats; if there's glucose in the blood, insulin levels will be high and so fats in the diet should be stored against future need. If there's little glucose in the blood, insulin will be low, and so energy in stores (ie, fat cells) should be used -- fats get dumped in the blood (as blood lipids), taken to the liver and turned into fuel for the rest of the body. (This is called ketosis, and it's the basis of the Atkins diet, though such diets are not 'normal' and, especially for diabetics, should be used with great caution. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious medical emergency and can be triggered by dietary derangements.) And so on and so on. \n\nInsulin is the direct cause of, or the indirect cause of, a great many things throughout the body. Consequences of its presence or absence are many, important, serious and cannot be too far wrong lest the damage be severe enough to cause damage or death.

Endocrinology, of course!\n\nAn Endocrinologist is a physician engaged in the study and practice of the endocrine system. Generally, these individuals will hold an M.D. or D.O. degree if medical doctors, or a Ph.D. degree if they are performing academic research. Endocrinologists play important roles in university academic research, clinical medical practice and in the pharmaceutical industry. They are specialists, experts in their field, and should serve as your main physician for endocrine disease related problems.

muscles provide both support and functionality. Muscles pull ang push on bones so that they may work. Digestive system digests food and provides energy supply and calcium deposits. Circulatory system transports essential nutrients into bones. Nervous system regulates the action of the bones whether to move or not. Endocrine system parathyroid gland regulates bone formation and bone breakdown. Integumentary system protects bone and muscle from outside environment. Respiratory system brings oxygen

The Kidney's primary function is to remove waste material from the blood stream.  Oxygen is used by every cell in the body to help metabolize nutrients.

The adrenal gland in the endocrine system actually works in co-ordination with the autonomic nervous system of the peripheral nervous system.

Your endochrine glands. It is your thyroid and adrenal glands that release pheromones and control their production.

This organ has two main functions.  \n1. functions as an exocrine organ by producing digestive enzymes\n2. functions as an endocrine organ by producing hormones, with insulin being the most important hormone it produces\n\nThe pancreas secretes its digestive enzymes, through a system of ducts into the digestive tract, while it secretes its variety of hormones directly into the bloodstream. \n\nAbnormal pancreatic function can lead to pancreatitis or diabetes mellitus.

A quick trip to Yahoo! Reference revealed that the pancreas is a small, irregularly shaped organ that resides between your stomach and your spine. The pancreas has two primary purposes: to secrete enzymes into your digestive system that help break down carbohydrates and protein, and to produce hormones that help maintain normal blood sugar levels. \nThe pancreas is technically part of the endocrine system, though it plays an important role in the digestive system as well. The endocrine system is a collection of glands, including your pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, that secrete hormones to monitor your metabolism and cell growth, among many other things.

The endocrine system produces hormones and works with the circulatory system - that carries them. The nervous system works with the respiratory system and every other system in the body; such as the gastrointestinal system and reproductive systems.

Cells are the basic building blocks of life. Their main goal is to maintain homeostasis, the way this is done is by using organic and inorganic molecules. Organic molecules are compounds containing carbons, whereas inorganic molecules are compounds that don't have carbon.  \n\nOne of the cells' main function is to make energy. The way it makes energy is via the Kreb Cycle, where it uses  organic molecules such as glucose, and breaks it down into energy ATP  another organic molecule. \n\nAnother function is Reproduction/Replication...cells use RNA (organic molecule) to make DNA (organic molecule).\n\nIf you look at cells on a larger scale, such as tissues...  note that there are four types of tissues: nervous tissues, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and  epidermal tissue.... if you look at the nervous tissue in order for a signal to be transmitted from the brain to the muscle,  neurons have to be able to send the message from the brain to the muscle using action potentials, which use inorganic molecules such as sodium and potassium, in the ion channels in a voltage sensitive gate.  Due to diffusion and osmosis, the ion gates open and close based on concentration levels of sodium and potassium and also based on the action potential. \n\nNote: that you question is very broad and requires not only the knowledge of basic biology but systemic physiology as well. If you want more answers or something you may email me.
