The endocrine system has four major mechanisms of control that regulate its functions. They are: Hormonal control, neural control, negative feedback, and positive feedback.
Through chemical messengers controlled by a negative feedback system.

No, negative feedback is the primary homeostatic mechanism regulating the endocrine system. Positive feedback is used much less frequently.

Negative feedback loops primarily focus on maintaining the body's homeostatic functions.
The hypothalamus regulates the Pituitary gland, and the Pituitary gland regulates the rest of the endocrine system.
There are many endocrine systems. An endocrine system is one where a gland excretes substances internally or to a surface such as the skin. Both salivary glands and sweat glands are two such systems. It may seem picky to make this distinction but each system uses its own feedback to achieve homeostasis (equilibrium). There are several types off feedback loop such as "mechanical circuits" (sweat cooling skin to slow this process) or by nervous or hormonal systems. edit: Neither salivary glands nor sweat glands are apart of the endocrine system. Both are exocrine.
Through negative feedback when the amount of a particular hormone in he blood reaches a certain level the endocrine system sends signals that stop the release of hormone.
