Hello
It is very difficult to mention only in three lines about healthy functioning of "ENDOCRINE SYSTEM".
Two type of glands in our body.1 Exocrine glands & 2 Endocrine glands.

1 Pituitary ( anterior ) Growth hormone
Prolactin ,
Thyrotrophic ,
Follicular Stimulating hormone ( FSH),
Leutenizing hormone( L H ),
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone ( AC TH ).
Pituitary ( intermediate )
Melanocyte stimulating hormone ( MSH).
Pituitary ( posterior)
Oxytocin ,
Vasopressin.
2 Thyroid
T3 ( tri-ido-thronin),
T4 (thyroxin)
Calcitonin.
3 Parathyroid Parathormone
4 Adrenal or suprarenal
Glucocorticoids e.g. cortisone
Mineralcorticoids e.g. aldosterone,
estrogen & androgen
adrenalin
5 Pancreas
glucagon
insulin
somatostatin
6 Testis
Testosterone
7 Ovary
ESTROGEN
Progesterone.
As I mentioned above it is very hard to establish any system or healthy system that how it work , although name of various hormones suggest that what is their work.
