Endocrine Architecture

Meaning

Endocrine architecture refers to the organized structural arrangement of glands, cells, and their associated vascular and neural networks that collectively form the body’s endocrine system. This encompasses the physical layout and spatial relationships of hormone-producing organs, such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas, along with dispersed endocrine cells found within other tissues. It describes how these components are physically configured to facilitate the synthesis, storage, and regulated release of hormones.
