Homeostasis is the steady-state internal metabolic equilibrium the body requires to function optimally. Hormones are the chemical messengers through which body systems are controlled and integrated. Endocrinology encompasses all the hormonal regulatory mechanisms that are used to achieve and maintain homeostasis. Several different endocrine glands will be studied in turn with respect to their control mechanisms, secretory hormonal products and the effects of the hormones produced. It is important to realize, however, that the function of any one gland is affected by the others. By the end of this subunit, you will gain an understanding of the role of hormones and hormone systems in maintaining homeostasis as well as the pathology that can result from hormonal dysfunction or disease.
