The Endocrine Organs (Classic Reprint): An Introduction to the Study of Internal Secretion - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The Endocrine Organs offers a clear introduction to how internal secretions influence body function.
This accessible volume explains what endocrine glands are, which organs produce active chemical agents, and how these substances travel through the blood to affect other tissues. It lays a practical foundation for students and practitioners who want a concise, non‑technical overview without wading through lengthy monographs.
Starting with general concepts, the book traces the evolution of endocrine ideas and maps the major glands, including the thyroid, parathyroids, suprarenals, pituitary, and pineal gland. It also covers how internal secretions interact with each other and with metabolic processes, with attention to structure, development, and function.
- Plain explanations of what endocrine organs do and how they communicate via blood-borne signals
- Overview of key glands, their autoacoids, and their role in growth, metabolism, and reproduction
- Historical context and references that guide further study for deeper reading
Ideal for readers beginning the study of internal secretion or seeking a straightforward primer on endocrine biology.
