In the most simplistic manner, hormones. Whether it is peptides or steroids they all come from glands in the endocrine system. These hormones control everything from growth, menstrual cycle, water reabsorption and beyond. The prominent endocrine pathway has three levels. First an action potental is sent to the hypothalamus which triggers the release of a releasing hormone into the hypothalamo-pituitary-portal vessel such as GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). This travels down to the anterior pituitary wich then triggers the synthesis and release of a stimulating hormone such as gonadotropins (FSH and LH). the last level is on the local level, FSH triggers the production of estrogens and/or testosterone in the gonads.
