This is a difficult question to give a simple answer. I'll explain it in part. The body's hormones are regulated by the endocrine system. The job of the endocrine system is to regulate the body's metabolism. How fast or how much a person grows, whether they are skinny or fat, the time it takes to heal even their sex drive is regulated by this sytem. The "brain" of the endocrine system is the pituitary gland which is the size of a large pea. Damage or the misfunctioning of any of these organs can have dire effects on the human body.
