Endocrinology is the study of hormones.
Hormones are essential for our every-day survival. They control our temperature, sleep, mood, stress, growth and more. Hormones are chemical messengers that are released in one part of the body, travel in the blood stream and have an effect on other part of the body. This helps different parts of the human body communicate. Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid or adrenal glands.
Endocrinologists treat diseases related to problems with hormones. Hormones influence or control a wide range of physiological activities, such as growth, development, puberty, level of alertness, sugar regulation and appetite, bone growth, etc. You also find that problems with hormones and the way they work contribute to some of the major diseases of mankind; for example, diabetes, thyroid conditions, pituitary conditions, some sexual problems, some neurological problems, appetite and obesity, bone problems, cancer, etc.
