Endocrinology is the study of endocrine glands or hormone-producing glands in the body. The study of the hormones generated is also part of this discipline. Hormones are special chemicals that are generated in many glands in the body. These hormones leave their glands and combine with other body fluids such asod or lymph to reach specific organs and perform certain functions. The word hormone comes from Greek. The term was first coined in 1902 by Baileys and Starling. All endocrine glands produce hormones. For the first time, some Greek scholars interpreted many glands of the body. Since then the history of the growth of this science begins. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Italian anatomists Berzelius and Oxford scholars Thomas Wharton and Lever promoted this learning. Due to the proficiency of the composition of these glands by the microscope, there was immense progress in this science in the 19th century. The study is still going on and investigations are going on by many other methods.
