The fact they have such small volume means exceedingly small quantities of inhibitors reacting with them effect the message they carry. There are dozens of endocrines, and they are very hard to study, because of the small volume, diluted in blood, and the relatively slow and long lasting effects. The small volume does not mean they are unimportant, endocrines perform vital functions.
