Endocrinology focuses on the hormones and the main glands and tissues that produce them. Organs whose primary function is hormone secretion include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes, and pancreas. Hormones regulate metabolism, respiration, growth, reproduction, sensory perception and movement. Humans have over 50 different hormones and an imbalance can cause a wide range of health issues.
