The importance of having endocrine glands and having them functional is essential to the body's ability to maintain homeostatic levels for all cellular systems to enable communication between neuortransmitters within the brain and the hormones produced by the endocrine gladular system. For example if we did not have an endocrine system to contribute to the role of a homeostatic environment for which our cells within our body, including every organ, we would not be able to maintain proper body temperature, eliminate waste effectively, control our blood pressure and the hormones (antidiuretic) would not be working properly or at all and lead to storage of waste and retention of water and bloating which in itself can become fatal as the blood pressure is deregulated by the lack of corresponding hormones produced by the endocrine system. It is through the endocrine system that females get their genetic make up for appearance (less body hari or faicial hair ususally, and why men have an increased sex drive, are more likely to get their work done or become type "A"

personalities, have an excess of testosterone from over production of this hormone which is controlled in the endocrine system and this can also lead to higher leves of aggression even without cause. With females, the endocrine system is important in detecting ovulation by a slight increase in body temperature when a woman ovulates as well as monitoring the elimination of wastes and the avoidance of bloating and water retention, and certain hormones in certain glands trigger the the release or inhibition of other hormones being excreted in the body to keep the body as close to homeostasis for overall health all the time and especially throughout a woman's pregnancy.

Mostly the endocrine system helps with blood pressure homeostasis as well as body temperature, regulation of menstruation, waste elimination and absorption of important nutrients all to maintain a balance in our bodies for reaching maximum health. The pancreas is part of the endocrine system as it controls and releases insulin to help the boy break down simple sugars and simple starches into sugars and remove them from the blood adequately so that one does not suffer from any type of improper blood-sugar levels which implicate Diabetes.
