Endocrinology
What do I know about endocrinology?
To start with, endocrinology as
we all know, deals with the study of endocrine system. Next to the nervous
system, it is said to be the second great controlling system of the body. Since,
it is reliable when it comes to regulating people’s mood, growth and
development, metabolism, functions of the tissue, sexual functions and
processes. The Endocrine system works together with nervous system. It is just
that the latter acts faster and makes immediate actions through sending
nerve impulses while the former acts through the use of chemical messenger
which is the hormone.
In addition to that, it is also
concerned with the endocrine disorders. These conditions may perhaps be
associated with the secretions of glands, whether it could be insufficient or
too excessive, resulting to inability of the hormone to respond effectively.
For instance, the most popular of
all the endocrine disorders is diabetes. It results from either insulin deficiency
or insulin resistance developing in the body depending on what type of
condition the patient is classified into. Furthermore, some patients who has an
over secretion of thyroid hormones ended up having hyperthyroidism however some
who has under secretion of it experience hypothyroidism
Undoubtedly, you would not be
able to recognize any endocrine disorders by just simply observing signs or
obtaining complaints of symptoms from the patients. Some might already show
marks that could give physicians impressions and that does not ensure final
diagnosis. There are certain tests that
have to be done to be able to give the right treatment for the patients. And that includes in a broad spectrum of
dealing with endocrine system.
