The Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system is a molecular system responsible for regulating and balancing many processes in the body,
including immune response, communication between cells, appetite and metabolism, memory, and more.
The endogenous cannabinoid system, named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important
physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found
throughout the body: the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells . In each tissue, the cannabinoid
system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal
environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.
