Haha lol just messin with u guys (^_^)v
Ok back to the topic..
so What is "Endocrinology"
Based on how I see it, Endocrinology is a branch of science that deals with the different types of disorders and different hormones of the endocrine system.
The Endocrine System is responsible for the release of hormones to the blood stream etc. Hormones are specific even though they are released into our blood stream it will always land on its specific target cell/site, I wonder why? But it's true, thus hormones will undergo a certain biochemical reaction/changes that are responsible with much of the development of our body such as growth through stimulation/aid of the electric impulses coming from the Nervous System to the Endocrine System.
And it looks like-something like this:
The rapid development and advancement in technology allows the further and clearer study of these hormones and their specific functions by the use of the modern technology like (RIA) radioimmunoassy and so the different immunoassay procedures.
"Endocrinology is the study of hormones, their receptors and the intracellular signalling pathways they invoke. Distinct endocrine glands are scattered throughout the body. These are glands that are largely or at least devoted to secretion of hormones, and no introduction to endocrinology would be complete without some kind of endocrine system "map"."

How are they able to study it?

Simple right? :)) well it gets harder while trying to understand and learn what they really do and what kind of problems may occur if there's a disturbance on the different glands that produce these hormones but it's interesting yes?

I am so amazed by your post, it is so interesting I wanna die.
