Abstract
The endocrine system governs the metabolic activities of the body, affects tissue growth, and regulates the functioning of many organ systems that influence behavior and cognition. Because the endocrine system is involved in an extraordinary range of physiological processes, it is important to consider an endocrine disorder in many clinical situations, especially when a patient presents with vague multisystem complaints.
