Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases
The system in which the endocrine glands are located is called the endocrine system, and the branch of science that studies the disorders occurring in these glands is known as endocrinology. The internal glands within the endocrine system are organs responsible for synthesizing and secreting hormones. These hormones produced by the glands have various functions in the body. Apart from contributing to reproduction, development, growth, and metabolism, hormones also control our responses.
