Answer: (C)

C

Human endocrine system is made up of endocrine glands that regulate body processes by secreting chemical substances, called as hormones. Hormones act on nearby tissues or are carried in the bloodstream to act on specific target organs and distant tissues. Diseases of the endocrine system can result from the oversecretion or undersecretion of hormones or from the inability of target organs or tissues to respond to hormones effectively.
