What are circulating hormones?
Circulating hormones emanate from the endocrine ( or ductless ) glands. These glands, embedded deep within our bodies, pour their secretions of functional substances (hormones) out of their locale into capillaries that return them - via the general circulation - to the heart and onward to their destination. Most of these are : pineal gland, the hypophysis, thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreatic islets and the suprarenal glands (adrenal) , and there are two types of secretions from gonads as well.
