The endocannabinoid system is found in the brain and nervous system of all humans and mammalian species and is the most extensive biological system in the body. The endocannabinoid system plays an important role in both brain development and the formation and development of synapses, electrical connections in the brain that enable neurotransmitters to transmit information.
The system was discovered in the 1990s by scientists studying the effects of cannabis on the body. Endocannabinoids and the receptors they bind to exist in the nervous system, all glands, immune cells, organs, the brain, and connective tissue. The system permeates the entire body and thus also encompasses all 11 central physiological systems.
The job of the endocannabinoid system is to balance our vital physiological functions, from sleep to appetite, pain, inflammation, memory, mood, and reproduction.
How does the Endocannabinoid system work?
The endocannabinoid system helps regulate all physiological systems and ensures that they work together in harmony. This state is called homeostasis. External stress causes an increase in the stress hormone cortisol in the bloodstream, which in response triggers other processes in the body. For example, the endocannabinoids naturally produced in the body increase during stress to balance the body's cortisol production.
This unique endogenous system is the reason for the diverse therapeutic approaches of medical cannabis.
