About Endocrinology
Endocrinology is a branch of medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases, and its specific secretions known as hormones. Many parts of the human body create hormones, the major glands that make up the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, the ovaries (women), and the testicles (men).
Our endocrine system produces hormones that the body uses for a wide variety of bodily functions that control many different aspects of our lives and development. Respiration, sensory perception, physical movement, and our metabolism are some major functions of day-to-day life that we rely on hormones to facilitate. Additionally, our growth, sexual development, and reproduction is also bound to the proper function of our endocrine system.
