How do the endocrine and lymphatic systems work together?

The endocrine and lymphatic systems work together to maintain homeostasis and coordinate immune responses. The endocrine system releases hormones that can influence immune function, such as cortisol, which helps regulate inflammation. Meanwhile, the lymphatic system transports lymph, which contains immune cells and hormones, facilitating communication and response to pathogens. This collaboration ensures a balanced response to stressors and infections throughout the body.
