The endocrine system consists of a
network of ductless glands that
secrete chemicals (called hormones)
that affect the function of specific
organs within the body, thus regulating
many of the intricate functions of the
body itself.
These ductless glands secrete their
hormones directly into the
bloodstream, as opposed to releasing
them externally through ducts (as do
the sweat glands and the oil glands).
The field of medicine that deals with
the study of the endocrine system and
the treatment of the diseases and
disorders of the endocrine system is
known as endocrinology.
The physician who specializes in the
medical practice of endocrinology
is known as an endocrinologist.
