Parent topics
- Medicine [r]: The study of health and disease of the human body. [e]
- Hormone [r]: A chemical director of biological activity that travels through some portion of the body as a messenger. [e]
- Internal medicine [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
Structures
Note that certain structures, such as the pancreas, have functions beyond the strict definition of endocrine, but include exocrine and other mechanisms.
- Endocrine glands [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Adrenal glands [r]: A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two kidneys. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the adrenal cortex producing glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids and the adrenal medulla producing neurotransmitters. [e]
- Gonads [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pancreas [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Parathyroid glands [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pineal gland [r]: Endocrine gland, in humans near the centre of the brain, secretes melatonin. [e]
- Anterior pituitary [r]: Endocrine gland that secretes hormones to regulate stress, growth, metabolism and reproduction. [e]
- Posterior pituitary [r]: Gland that contains nerve endings of hypothalamic neuroendocrine neurons that secrete the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin [e]
- Thyroid gland [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pancreas [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Exocrine glands [r]: While within the purview of endocrinology, glands that secrete fluids used directly in other body processes rather than as signaling mechanisms in blood or brain [e]
- Mammary glands [r]: Exocrine glands, in mammals, which produce milk; often the origin of breast cancer [e]
- Pancreas [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Parotid glands [r]: Add brief definition or description
Diseases and subspecialties
- Adrenal insufficiency [r]: Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by disease, suppression by drugs, destruction, or surgical removal of the adrenal cortices. [e]
- Adrenocortical hyperfunction [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Adrenocortical hypofunction [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Diabetes mellitus [r]: Relative or absolute lack of insulin leading to uncontrolled carbohydrate metabolism. [e]
- Hypothyroidism [r]: Syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland, leading to a decrease in basal metabolic rate. [e]
- Hyperthyroidism [r]: Abnormalities of calorigenic mechanisms, body tissues, blood, and nervous systems resulting from an excessive elaboration of thyroid hormone. [e]
- Reproductive endocrinology [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Steroid [r]: Add brief definition or description
