Hormones:
Hormones are chemical messengers that are directly secreted into the blood which carries it to different organs or tissue to exert their function.
The endocrine system uses these chemicals known as hormones to control and coordinate our body's internal metabolism, growth, reproduction, etc.
Some of the major glands that make up the endocrine system and secret hormones are the hypothalamus, pituitary, and thyroid.
In spite of releasing directly into the blood few glands like the hypothalamus release their secretions into the pituitary gland which stores its, and secrets when required.
