Endocrinology

What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is a biological and medical branch that covers the problems related to the endocrine system such as hormonal diseases. This system includes many glands that release hormones into blood directly instead of the duct system. So these are ductless glands and promote a wide range of functions. Therefore a problem can impose various effects on targeted organs.

This branch deals with integration of behavioral and psychological activities, differentiation, growth and event proliferation. It manages the problems caused by hormonal changes like sensory perception, reproduction, movement, lactation, stress, mood, excretion, respiration, digestion, sleep, tissue function, metabolism and growth and development. The specialization includes comparative endocrinology.
