The endocrine system controls the functioning of the reproductive system. The responsible endocrine glands are known as the gonads. The gonads secrete sex hormones, which are responsible for sexual development, and the associated growth spurts in the body. They are also responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Other hormones also affect the functioning of the reproductive system. These include the gonadotropin releaseing hormones from the hypothalamus, the pituitary hormones like prolactin, insulin from the pancreas, and thyroxine from the thyroid.
