Below is a short video which tackles about the Endocrine system, and why do I feel the need to show this? Because, we could understand what Endocrinology is by knowing its basic contents...

The ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
When we talk about Endocrinology, the one thing that comes in my mind is "HORMONES." Why hormones? It's because the endocrine system's main function is to produce hormones. For more information regarding Hormones and the Endocrine System, you could visit the site:Hormones
What are Hormones? Well, hormones are chemical signals which are produced by the ductless glands: Pituitary gland, Thyroid gland, Adrenal glands, Hypothalamus, Parathyroid gland, Ovary, Placenta, Testis and are released in our bloodstreams which are then transported to their destinations which are the target cells.
A question popped in my mind, why are they produced? well, I think they are produced to do something ..... and that is to regulate our body's mechanism. They are quite unique because they specifically targets its target tissue to compensate its needs. "Like shooting the bulls - eye in an archery contest."
Another question would be, why do we have to study the Endocrine system? Well, It's because there are different diseases concerning the production of hormones like Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, hypoparathyrodism and many more. For more information about Hormonal disorders you could visit the site: Hormonal disorders
Stimulation and Suppression. These two words are important in Endocrinology because these are two methods we could use to check the levels of our hormones. They both have their own functions which could help in determining or aid in the diagnosis of certain disorders or diseases.
Therefore, Endocrinology is the study of the production of hormones secreted in the bloodstream and transported in their target cells and the diseases associated with the endocrine system.
This is an educational video clip which shows how Endocrine system works which is easy to understand.
