The reproductive system is in part also an endocrine system since it releases or modifies steroid hormones to effect organism level changes. Apart from that the reproductive system has additional functions like production of gametocytes (sperms or oocytes) and in the female system production of the fetus.

How is the reproductive system and endocrine system similar?

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.

The endocrine system releases hormones that affect cells in the nervous system. The systems are integrated and linked in numerous ways, but they are entirely different systems.
