I'm extremely late, but this is what I wrote for my response:
If my endocrine system stopped working correctly, it would have a lot of negative consequences on my body. Certain parts of the endocrine system malfunctioning would impact certain parts of my body. The hypothalamus links our endocrine and nervous systems together, and if it stopped working, it would stop driving the endocrine system. If the pituitary gland stopped working, it would stop receiving signals from the hypothalamus. It wouldn't be able to secrete hormones or produce its own hormones. If the thyroid gland stopped working, it would take a huge toll on my body because the thyroid gland is critical to the healthy development and maturation of vertebrates, and it regulates metabolism. If the adrenal gland stopped working, it would stop producing hormones in response to stress, and it would stop regulating blood pressure, glucose metabolism, and the body's salt and water balance. If the pancreas stopped working, the glucagon and insulin production would either stop or not work as intended. Glucagon and insulin help regulate the concentration of glucose (sugar) in the blood, so if they stopped working, the regulation of sugar in the blood wouldn't work as usual, and it wouldn't be good for the body. If gonads stopped working, it would affect growth and development in a negative way. They would stop regulating reproductive cycles and behaviors. If the endocrine system stopped functioning as it's supposed to, processes like differentiation, growth, and function of reproductive organs (testosterone (T) and estradiol) and body growth and energy production (growth hormone and thyroid hormone) wouldn't work properly as it should.
Sorry if it's too much, I have a habit of writing a lot.
Hope this helps! <3
