The endocrine system regulates various aspects of the muscular system, including muscle growth, metabolism, and energy production, through the secretion of hormones such as insulin, growth hormone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones. These hormones influence muscle development, repair, and function by promoting protein synthesis, regulating nutrient uptake, and controlling energy levels. Additionally, hormones like adrenaline can stimulate muscle contraction during physical activity by increasing heart rate and blood flow to muscles.
