claimThe circulatory system serves as a delivery network for hormones produced by the endocrine system.
claimThe circulatory system transports hormones from their production sites to target organs, such as insulin traveling from the pancreas to muscle and liver tissues.
referenceThe circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, the nervous system controls responses and coordination, the respiratory system ensures gas exchange, the digestive system processes food, the urinary system removes waste, the musculoskeletal system provides movement and support, and the endocrine system regulates processes using hormones.
claimDuring a stress response, the nervous system detects danger and signals the endocrine system to release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which travel through the circulatory system to trigger physiological changes.
