An easy way to understand how the glandular system works is to compare it to a thermostat in any heating system. When the room temperature falls, the thermostat instructs the central heating system to switch on until the temperature rises. Then the thermostat switches off so the room doesn't get too hot. In humans, hormones control conditions in the body so that a steady state is maintained.
The glandular system consists of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, thymus gland, sex gland, pancreas, hypothalamus and adrenal glands. These all work together in monitoring the body's various functions and ordering it to make any needed adjustments. The glands produce and excrete hormones, which co-ordinate and control various organs and tissues so that all parts of the body work together smoothly and efficiently. The amount of hormones released depends on the body's needs. Levels change in response to infection, stress and chemical composition of the blood. There is a constant fine control in the system. Nutritional supplements rich in trace minerals, when taken with a well-balanced diet, can help ensure that the glandular system gets the nutritional elements it needs to function properly.
