The organ system primarily responsible for hormone production is the endocrine system. This system consists of various glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Hormones regulate numerous physiological processes, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and homeostasis. The intricate communication within the endocrine system is essential for maintaining a stable internal environment and facilitating bodily responses to external changes.
