endocrine
this adjective refers to the distribution of secretory proteins and other messenger molecules through the bloodstream, allowing these factors to reach and act on effector cells in the body that are distant from the producer cells.
In a more specific meaning, for example as in endocrine glands (also: ductless glands) refers to glands that directly release hormones into the bloodstream (examples: thyroid, parathyroids, anterior and posterior pituitary, pancreas, adrenals, pineal, and gonads).
