Endocrinology
Endocrinology is a science that studies the functions of the endocrine glands and diseases of the endocrine system. The glands of the endocrine system are the organs that control the synthesis, activity and secretion of hormones. Endocrinology also deals with the metabolism, decrease and increase of hormones. Enviromental changes, heredity, sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, stress and various adverse factors can often lead to the development of diabetes, thyroid, ovarian and pituitary diseases by disrupting the activity of the endocrine glands.
As endocrine diseases are complex and require long-term treatment, it is important to detect them as soon as possible, prevent them in time, and prevent them from developing.
Endocrine glands include:
- thyroid gland;
- parathyroid gland;
- thymus;
- adrenal glands;
- endocrine pancreas;
- hypothalamic-pituitary system (hypothalamus, pituitary gland);
- Epiphysis.
