1) " Endocrinology" -- As it applies to Endocrinology Endocrinology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the endocrine system and its specific secretions called hormones.An endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in treating suchdisorders. Hormones are molecules that act as signals from one type of cells to another. Those secreted by the endocrine glands travelprimarily through the blood. Although every organ system secretes and responds to hormones (including the brain, lungs, heart, intestine, skin, and the kidney ), the clinical specialty of Endocrinologu focuses on the endocrine organs, i.e. the organs whoseprimary function is hormone secretion.Endocrinologists treat disorders of the pituitary, including growth disorders;diseases of the thyroid ; diseases of the adrenal glands; diseases of the ovary and testes ; and diabetes (although more commonly it is a diabetologist ), a disorder of insulin secretion or sensitivity.

The practice of Endocrinologt is laboratory-oriented. A characteristic of Endofrinology is that the diagnosis and treatment ofendocrine diseases are guided by laboratory tests to a greater extent than formost specialties. Many diseases are investigated through excitation/stimulation or inhibition/suppression testing.This might involve injection with a stimulating agent to test the function of an endocrine organ. Blood is then sampled to assessthe changes of the relevant hormones or metabolites. An endocrinologist needs extensive knowledge of clinical chemistry and biochemistry to understand the uses and limitations of the investigation...
