system of the body is responsible for the production and secretion of hormones?

  1. espiratory

  2. ervous

  3. ndocrine

  4. ntegumentary

The correct answer is: ndocrine

The endocrine system is responsible for the production and secretion of hormones. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating and coordinating various processes in the body, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The respiratory system (option A) primarily deals with the exchange of gases in the body, while the nervous system (option B) is responsible for sending signals and controlling body functions. The integumentary system (option D) mainly functions as a protective barrier and regulates body temperature. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they do not directly involve the production and secretion of hormones.
