Hormones. The endocrine system consists of various glands that work together to secrete compounds into the blood known as "hormones". These hormones act in various ways on various tissues, controlling metabolism, neurological function, etc. Hope this helps. -Cheers P.S. For additional information, try to learn more about the relationship between the hypothalamus, the anteriour pituitary, and the adrenal gland. This system is a great example of how hormones act "trophically" on other hormones to initiate physiological responses.
