The Endocrine Organs (Classic Reprint): An Introduction to the Study of Internal Secretion: An Introduction to the Study of Internal Secretion (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
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.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Endocrine Organs: An Introduction to the Study of Internal Secretion
The time at my disposal for the lectures precluded anything more than a passing mention of some of the many workers who have contributed to our knowledge of this, the newest, development of physiology; and in republishing, it has not been deemed desirable unduly to extend the' references to literature, seeing that they are already to be found in such standard works as Biedl's Innere Sekretion, in which the bibliography occupies more than 250 large octavo pages, and Swale Vincent's Internal Secretions and the Ductless Glands, where they run to over 2000 titles. Since the appearance of those works much new matter Has been added; and more than one long list of literature has appeared in monographs deal ing with special internally secreting organs. It is to publications of a comprehensive character such as these that the scientific worker will turn for detailed information. The aim of this little book is less ambitious: it is designed to supply a concise account of our present knowledge for the benefit of students and practitioners who may be desirous of obtaining more information regarding the internal secretions than is afforded by the ordinary text-books of physiology, but have not the time or opportunity to peruse extensive monographs or consult original articles.
