Endocrine system
System interactions:
The endocrine system interacts with the circulatory system, because the circulatory system transports the hormones from the endocrine system throughout the body. Also the endocrine system also interacts with the integumentary system, because the integumentary system contain glands, which is where the hormones are able to secrete from to be transported around the body.
Another system the endocrine works with is the reproductive system, because the endocrine system secretes hormones that provide sexual development and growth.
System dieases:
Diabetes is one of the more prevalent endocrine system diseases, diabetes is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce enough of the hormone insulin or the body does not effectively use the insulin it does produce.
Growth Disorders- Given that the endocrine system regulates growth processes, endocrine system diseases often result in growth disorders. If the body produces too much growth hormone (GH), gigantism or acromegaly (gigantism in adults) can occur; too little growth hormone results a condition called growth hormone deficiency, or GHD, which can cause children to grow more slowly than normal.Thyroid Disorders - Thyroid hormones, hormones produced by the thyroid gland, influence nearly all of the body's symptoms. Thyroid problems include hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone), hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone), thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, and more.

Homeostasis:
The endocrine system remains homeostasis by controlling growth and metabolism of the body, and excreting hormones to keep the body growing stable.
