    The document discusses the endocrine system and how hormones work. It describes how endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to coordinate and regulate different organs. It provides an example of how the hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to release thyrotrophin, which then signals the thyroid gland to release thyroxine, which controls the body's metabolic rate. The document also notes that hormones regulate their own production through feedback control mechanisms where the level of a hormone impacts its own production.
