By glands. Hormones are produced only by the endocrine glands, e.g., the pituitary, the adrenals, etc.. Hormones are "chemical messengers": they are sent by the glands to target organs and stimulate them to produce specific effects, e.g. the hormone thyroxin is manufactured by the thyroid gland to regulate the metabolism.
