GlossaryEndocannabinoid System (ECS)

complex cell-signaling system regulating mood, appetite, and pain

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system found in the human body that plays a crucial role in regulating a variety of physiological processes, including mood, appetite, pain sensation, and immune response. It consists of endocannabinoids (naturally occurring compounds), receptors (CB1 and CB2), and enzymes that synthesize and degrade these compounds, helping to maintain homeostasis or balance within the body.
