Some things are all the same
Endocrine System and Lymphatic/ immune system
The Endocrine system consist of glands and hormones that regulate the body. The main parts of the system are the pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, and the pancreas, ovaries, and testes
It is ductless meaning it just goes into the body via bloodstream/ diffusion.
It uses the blood stream to transport hormones throughout the body. Each hormone effects different tissues and parts of the body, some effect more more than one thing.
Parts of endocrine system
Pituitary gland- Master gland, regulates the glands and at the base of the brain.
Adrenal gland- produces aldosterone, cortisol and other steroids. Regulates salt concentration, glucose, fat, and gprotein and other things dealing with response.
Hypothalamus- Mediates between the nervous system and endocrine system
Thymus - helps develop immune system and produce t-cells
Parathyroid- back of thyroid (metabolism controler), hormone= parathormone,
Pancreas- Islet of langerhans, Hormone= Insulin, Stimulates glucose to go to cells, hormone= glucagon and changes glycogen to glucose.
Thyroid gland- Located in the neck, releases thyroxine and regulates metabolism by producing thyroxine which controls the metabolic rate of cells and calcitonin for calcium levels.

Lymphatic system
- carries tissue fluid throughout body to fight infections and diseases
-Transport fatty acid from intestines to the circulatory system
-Filters and cleans the lymph of any debris, abnormal cells, or pathogens.
-Plays an active role in defending the body from pathogens, Protects us against infectious pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and fungi as well as parasitic animals and protists and attacks those that manage to enter
-Leukocytes – White Blood cells Fight infection and are formed in the bone marrow Five types – neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes.
The Gastrointestinal Immune (GI) System
Gut-associated lymphoid tissue or GALT
Challenge to the digestive tract’s immune system:
Correctly tell the difference between
what is bad (such as viruses and bad bacteria)
and what is good (such as nutrients and good bacteria)
Peyer's Patches: These are lymphoid follicles similar in many ways to lymph nodes located in the mucosa and extending into the submucosa of the small intestine especially the ileum.
