This is the area of medicine concerned with
the glands that produce and secrete hormones into
the blood or lymph systems. These glands include
the thyroid, parathyroid, hypothalamus, pineal,
pituitary, adrenal, islands of Langerhans in the
pancreas, and the gonads (testes and ovaries). The
effects of these hormones may affect organs or
tissues, or the entire body.
Disorders may
result, including osteoporosis and diabetes, when
too few hormones are secreted (hyposecretion) or
too many are secreted (hypersecretion).
