Endocrine system
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The endocrine system is a control system of glands that secrete hormones that circulate within the body via the circulatory system to affect cells within certain organs of the body. The study of the endocrine system was known as endocrinology.
One of Doctor Phlox's reasons for staying aboard the Enterprise was that he was fascinated with the Human endocrine system. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
