 Simply
put, endocrinology is the study of the endocrine glands. Endocrine
glands are a group of glands in the body which secrete hormones.
The purpose of the secreted hormones is to evoke a specific response
in other cells of the body which are located far away.
The Thomas
C. Jones Center specializes in endocrine glands, including
the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland, parathyroid glands, and
pituitary glands. |
