INTRODUCTION
According to Innerbody.com, the endocrine system is composed for the glands and the hormones. These two main elements are closely related to the nervous system because it is the nervous system the one that stimulates the glands to produce hormones. The glands main function is to regulate the organs in the body. Body’s homeostasis is the term we use to explain how glands and hormones create an inner stability in organs to resist the outside environment (opencurriculum.org 2013).
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, gonads and thymus are the glands that secrete hormones; however, there are also some non-glandular organs and tissues that secrete hormones such as heart, kidneys, digestive system, adipose and placenta. Hormones are classified in two categories depending on their chemical properties. Each of these groups has its own characteristics that differentiate from the other one. The first class is the water-soluble hormones that include insulin and oxytocin. As their name says, they are soluble in water. Due to this property, this type of hormones cannot pass through the plasma membrane, so they need a receptor to cross the membrane. The second class is the lipid-soluble hormones. This type of hormones is soluble in lipids and can cross the plasma membrane. Some examples of this kind of hormones are testosterone and estrogens (innerbody.com 2012).
According to Medicinenet.com, hyperthyroidism is a disorder caused by a high production of thyroid hormone.

CONCLUSION
Sometimes there is not a precise way to prevent diseases that affect the endocrine system. Most of the time they are inherited, and it make them difficult to stop. However, general indications like having a healthy lifestyle, which includes a proper diet, regular physical activity and avoid bad habits such as smoking or drinking, can help people to have a quality life. Talking specifically about hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to treat the disease even if the symptoms are not present or does not cause much pain. It is because hyperthyroidism can lead to other health problems.
