Glandular Network

Meaning

The Glandular Network refers to the integrated and interdependent system of endocrine glands throughout the body that synthesize and secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system to regulate distant target organs. This complex biological communication system includes major glands like the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and gonads, alongside other hormone-producing tissues. The proper functioning of this network is absolutely essential for maintaining homeostasis, coordinating metabolism, reproduction, growth, and stress response. Clinical practice views the health of this network holistically, recognizing that dysfunction in one gland often cascades to others.
