Verified

The endocrine system is said to encompass integrative character as the hormones generated by the endocrine glands are substances which act at a distance and most of them act in various organs of the body. Therefore the endocrine glands receive information from various regions of the body and they can turn out effects in other regions giving functional integration for the body.

Besides endocrine system, the other physiological system which too has integrative function is the nervous system. The nervous system integrates the body via a network of nerves joined to central and peripheral neurons. The endocrine system integrates the body via hormones which travel via the circulation and are generated by the endocrine glands.
