There are 3 major structures to hormones. These include eicosanoids, steroids and amino acids.
With these structures come the regulation of our natural activities. Such as, digestion, metabolism, respiration, reproduction, tissue function, sleep, stress, growth and development, movement, and sensory perception.

5. Disease within the endocrine system
There are several diseases within the endocrine system, for example diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease and obesity. These can be caused from, lack of glands, lack of regulation with releasing hormones, incorrect signaling , diminished and also enlargement.
There are 3 kinda of endocrine diseases. They are primary, secondary, tertiary. Primary disease is the action of downstream glands, secondary is a problem with the pituitary gland and lastly tertiary is the dis function of the hypothalamus releasing hormones.
